Picking a Wine Barrel To Finish Our Bourbon

[@marnixbroersma5018]

really appreciate the fact that there still no ads on the tribe and vault video's. Love the choice

[@WhiskeyTribe]

thanks! but it's the patreon supporters that make no-ads possible. the only downside is the handful of youtube features we can't use because the channels aren't monetized. still, i think no-ads is definitely a good choice right now.

[@WhiskeyTribe]

also, if you ever see an ad here - a 3rd party made a copyright claim. most likely music. most likely bogus. we just don't have time to challenge it.

[@danlepine9761]

I’m signing up in their patron and it says they get 20,000 a month from patrons so they’ll doing well form loyal tribesman and deservedly so.

[@WhiskeyTribe]

@@danlepine9761 , thanks! the wine barrel vote gets posted this afternoon.

[@vincentouwehand828]

Okay, that was a great episode and the guys from William Chris (Chris and Joshua) were awesome in their thinking along, comments on camera and general vibe. Make sure to pass on tribe appreciation

[@dmshampton]

“I am the dump glass...” spoken like a true master mooch👌🏻

[@Ladco77]

Don't just drink the dump glass, BE the dump glass. Only then will you truly understand true magnificence.

[@chriswoochy7700]

Master Mooch indeed

[@adamcroft80]

I can here to literally say this 😂😂

[@10swords]

This was, by far, my favorite episode to date.

[@aribach]

agreed

[@thomasbuck303]

Me too, very cool

[@jaygilbert4546]

Yeah, this video has me genuinely excited for the future of the distillery. All the INSANE serendipitous networking going on is truly incredible to behold. Your choice of winery to collaborate with looks like a perfect fit- those folks are definitely your "peebuhl"! And I say do 3 barrels- why leave yourself asking "...but what if we had"?...just do them ALL.

[@adamcroft80]

And still holds up 4 years later

[@theirongymalkmaar6134]

I love how an artist is honestly appreciating an other artist's art :)

[@StillIt]

Lads I know these episodes are a lot of work. But I love it! More I say!!

[@XSTAYUPX]

Thank you for your work

[@henryprater703]

Fantastic episode. May have been light on shenanigans but the information was very interesting. Also loved the offsite shooting. I’m gonna have to watch it again! Bravo guys!

[@rcache4]

It was like - "Daniel and Rex are here. Someone clean the window in the front door!!!"

[@lz3390]

I swear, you guys are some of the best hosts on any show. Please don't stop doing what you do.

[@Twolegger]

7:52 Pretty cool to see the Rosetta Stone moment joining the language of wine and the language of whisky. 😊

[@thedouchebagofholding]

I love how approachable and non snobby that all was. It was welcoming and encouraging which we need to see more of in food and drink culture.

[@bucc5207]

I thought it was a little bit snobby at first, but Daniel quickly won Wine Guy's respect. 👍

[@robo52]

Wow ... the possibilities are endless. If you aren't already doing it, you need to start keeping a video for each barrel you are creating - from birth till empty. Can you imagine looking back on that 20-30 years from now. Interesting video, good job.

[@AndrewHiltz]

There is an understated beauty in letting a whiskey nerd and a wine nerd off the leash to play together. Great work on this video - one of my favorites to date! You guys have been an inspiration for me to expand my whiskey palate beyond bourbon (although it'll always be my first love).

[@Retro_Beek]

Definitely one of my favorite Whiskey Tribe episodes. I really enjoy listening to Daniel and Chris making such a grounded and relative side by side comparison. Golf Claps all around for the magical video man Rex! Such a great episode! Well done guys!

[@TheBlueCollarConservative]

Favorite whiskey tribe episode ever! I love wine and I love whiskey and I especially love wine finished whiskey.

[@ErikWaitWhiskyStudies]

As a certified Sommelier with previous experience in wine production I find Whiskies finished in wine casks (such as Longrow) fascinating. I hope this makes your whisky really interesting. By the way, I sampled the Eleanor at the Scotch Test Dummies 5th Anniversary celebration, it was REALLY tasty!

[@Fidgottio]

Erik Wait In that case, you should try Penderyn Madeira. It’s produced in Wales and, as the name suggests, is finished in Madeira wine casks. It’s currently one of my favourites

[@ErikWaitWhiskyStudies]

@@Fidgottio Thanks for the tip but I've reviewed it twice.

[@Fidgottio]

Erik Wait Fair enough. I wasn’t sure how widely known it was, considering it’s not from one of the “big” whisky countries. What did you think of it?

[@ErikWaitWhiskyStudies]

@@Fidgottio In 2016 I got into whisky while studying for the Unit 4 exam on spirits for the Wine & Spirited Educational trust (WSET). I wasn't expecting to fall in love with whisky, but while tasting The Macallan 12 I caught the whisky bug. So, I ordered 104 minis from the UK which included the Penderyn. Afterwards I became a certified Whisky Ambassador and then traveled to Kentucky to visit 6 distilleries and then Scotland to study whisky and tour 20 distilleries. I can't say that I was overly impressed with the Penderyn, BUT it was very early in my whisky journey. To give a more accurate assessment, I'd need to taste it again as my understanding and appreciation of whisky has definitely progressed over the past two years.

[@WhiskeyVault]

Thanks, Erik! It's good news for us and Eleanor that MGP makes kickass whiskey :-) And it turns out, spending 6 months in the Texas heat really does dramatically change it from the other MGP's I've tried.

[@taylorseppala5602]

Bro the camera work and editing in these videos is superb thumbs up to Chad and Rex for the great work

[@GeorgeArvanitidisart]

One of your best guys!!! I really hope to continue in that direction of videos! I like the jokes and the fun but this kind of stuff is gold!

[@mastermattk]

I'm glad they decided to leave the original green paint on the door frame. Great vids and good luck with the flavors!!!

[@ribbit1964]

wow - that day didn't suck!

[@joegrone9671]

Awesome video. The best capper was the story of the man remembering painting the door with his daddy. Production genius!

[@Chef_PC]

Man, I love the idea of a whisky and wine pairing...

[@Spiritus_Invictus]

Then I would recommend the Glenfiddich 19 years old Age of Discovery Red Wine cask. That is an amazing whisky.

[@Chef_PC]

I was thinking how they are doing in this video. Drinking wine and whisky together. I will look for that Glenfiddich though. I have a particular affinity for wine-casked whiskies.

[@robsalvv5853]

Starward have done this in Melbourne Australia.

[@feargalmulvany3273]

Tipperary red wine finish is a great choice

[@SouthsideDarealist]

Whatever you say randy marsh

[@daniellovett5571]

"I am the dump glass." LOL. My favorite part of the video. I enjoyed the entire video, but that line, did make me laugh.

[@shakeyfly]

I wish Tribe videos were more frequent than vault videos. These videos are absolutely awesome.

[@duanebrimhall2556]

You guys hit if off with William Chris Vineyards. Hope to see more collaboration efforts with them in the future.

[@Mr_Feyshade]

Whiskey + wine = "Texas Martini" Sounds amazing to me...

[@CKtestvids]

One of the best Tribe episodes to date. Top notch stuff Rex..I mean guys

[@OvelNick]

14:08 That explains so much!

[@gregsmith7761]

I lived in Fredericksburg for about 5 years and loved it. The town has really exploded with it's little wine boom Industry. Awesome!

[@AndersSkovmark]

Rex.... Your camerawork is amazing. Love it! The last 30 seconds are pure art!

[@FightStealDrink]

Thanks! I’m definitely more comfortable editing than shooting. Usually just trying to make the shots passable.

[@moytheboy22]

My in laws have a subscription with this winery. What a small world (Texas)! Really cool. Can’t wait to pick up this expression when it’s available.

[@asentimentalman6655]

Rex I think your bromance with Daniel has gotten severely challenged on the trip. To be honest, they look great together....and I think will do well

[@pjfan173]

Thank you so much for sharing this video with all of us. The was so educational and I hope both of you work together in the future

[@gman5986]

Awesome video guys. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@russelnokes1095]

You mb just keep getting better , very entertaining and informative . I've always wondered what a good whiskey finished in a muskatel barrel would taste like. Cheers to all the mb everywhere may your roads be smooth and your whiskey magnificent.

[@cantites81]

What a pleasant video, simply enjoyable. Thank you.

[@talesfromlastnight6109]

One of the best episodes I have seen so far. Great production and awesome b footage rolls.

[@AdamPFarnsworth]

This might be my favorite video you guys have ever done! That looks like so much fun!

[@erikpreston8976]

Very cool "behind the curtain" vid. It's exciting to hear about your progress and the thinking behind it. Home run, keep it up!

[@complexobjects]

Starting 7:34 and after elaborate description he responds "so you're looking for more sweetness in mid-palate?" At this moment I realize how much I have to learn in tasting vocabulary..

[@jasonbrowny23]

Standing in front of about 300 barrels “1 of our 12 barrels” hahaha guess you gotta start somewhere. Love what you’re doing super interesting can’t wait to see the outcome.

[@Jtobiwon]

Daniel is such a nerd haha. Fun video

[@chuck430]

would like to see more of you guys on the road at different distilleries, Daniel seemed to be having the time of his life

[@ghost5653]

Thanks for taking us along on the journey. Bravo on manning the camera rex your moochiness must have been hard to control 😂

[@kurtjohnson667]

Very cool. Especially after just getting back from a wine tour in France and Germany. Great video.

[@HamBown]

Has this experiment seen the light of day yet? I searched through the channel videos and didn't see a follow-up episode. I am very interested to see how it turned-out.

[@TheWhiskyTrials]

Amazing. Honestly guys, truly amazing. Push the boundaries, people need too. I'd love to.

[@ThePapabear2012]

Now I'm really interested to see the results. Great episode.

[@HeathRS]

I love wine and I love whiskey. The crossover is excellent here.

[@amarmurtezani1995]

Love waking up to your videos. Time to get drunk

[@checkoutthatthing]

That's exciting. Super pumped for the choices. Another great episode, even with minimum Rex.

[@leeteague8126]

you mean ESPECIALLY with minimum rex lol

[@checkoutthatthing]

@@leeteague8126 lol, I enjoy the ridiculous shananagins though.

[@leeteague8126]

I do too. But I never miss a chance to ball bust rex

[@checkoutthatthing]

@@leeteague8126 right, yes, he likes guys.

[@Jorge_Rafa]

AMAZING EPISODE!!! You can tell these guy love what the do.

[@timothychurch9136]

That sounds like a perfect marriage of two wonderful things!!

[@increasedelevation3776]

I love the silhouette shot at the very end, nice work Rex!

[@boredinibiza]

great video from a Beer and Wine Sommelier's perspective, cheers

[@Username-xd3qx]

Been waiting for this video! Appreciate the technical explanation of whiskey and wine aging and finishing. Perhaps in the future, there could be an episode on whiskey and wine pairing?

[@Andrew-bh5bw]

I loved this episode! Super interesting to watch you guys engage in comparative discussion.

[@kgames9403]

13:59 Its called a Smorgasvein and its classy!!

[@pavelskop305]

Great episode, thank you guys!!!

[@coreysparr79]

Your best episode to date, thank you & keep'em coming

[@danlepine9761]

My buddy owners a vineyard in NY. Borghese vineyards and I’m trying to find the right barrels to buy from him to make my own legacy barrel. It’s to be filled on my wedding day with my choice of un-aged whiskey and we are going to pull from it on milestone dates. Anniversary. Kid gratuations. Weddings. That climate up here in New England really always the wine to soak into these barrels. It’s such cold dry winters and hot humid summers. I wish you luck my friends.

[@kmccarthy327]

This is a really good episode. Kind of educates you its more than just dumping whiskey X into wine barrel Y.

[@andrewryan5293]

Great Video, love you guys.

[@schubruno]

Amazing episode. It's nice to see Daniel nerd out with someone every once in while

[@therussmccurdy2602]

There's a distillery in Portland Oregon called Bull Run that has a 10 year bourbon that is finished in Pino Noir casks and the flavor is freaking awesome! Try that with yours

[@lonestaronestar1845]

I like the transformation Rex goes through between Friday and Saturday from the mooch to a human being 😆

[@jonathanwise84]

yo.. the transition at 1:37 from drone down to in the field, tho... well done

[@spydereclipse99]

This was a very cool video. I love it 😭😭😭 plans to come visit the distillery are in the works guys

[@bryanlushbough659]

Fantastic guys. Really enjoyed this one!

[@DijaVlogsGames]

Love you camera work, Rex.

[@mosesumike]

Thank you for sharing!

[@kennywallace6986]

This was actually relaxing to watch. Enjoyed every minute guys. Now I need to plan a road trip, lol.

[@ryanpickens7674]

So just started appreciating bourbon/whiskey... curious if anyone has ever tried a western red cedar barrel? I work with cedar alot and it has a strong aroma that could potentially taste good aswell... love the channel! Keep it up

[@Erik_T_Thompson]

Question? After you choose the barrels and then put the bourbon in the wine barrels, how often do you sample? I have read articles about going too long in the finishing barrel, the result being too wine forward.

[@PhotoDaveJax]

Great wine mooch Rex!! 👍👍💪💪

[@aclefler]

That was a cool episode! Keep them coming, but with more Rex!

[@nathanrosado5606]

I loved this video the information and knowledge is truly incredible. Thanks for this experience.

[@CppCodeMonkey]

I love these guys. I wish I could buy a bottle of something you've crafted but I'm way over here in New Zealand.

[@johnpilon]

Very cool episode. I'm excited to see how this all plays out and it gives me some ideas for my homemade whisk... Err..."Beer". Sure let's go with wine finished "beer". 😉

[@Lodabar-1]

So excited to hear about the results!!!

[@kbraunphoto]

you had me when he starting talking about tacos and wine!

[@Rjdhsifjdjssjejdhd]

I used to drink Canadian club mixed with homemade wine in about 30 70 mix and i can remember it being good but after a couple glasses you don't remember much

[@BigDaddysBearCave]

I love a good whiskey finish 🥃👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🥃😎

[@jeremycrowe234]

I am the dump glass! Yes Sir

[@phauntis]

The closing shots just show Daniel falling in love with his new Wine buddy

[@timbettger]

That. Was. Fun. Thanks guys.

[@modarkthemauler]

The closing pour spouts on the wine bottle at the end look interesting.

[@jeremiahgriffin9428]

Super intriguing episode. Love the content of two experts of seperate worlds talking through the possibilities of marrying the two profiles. (If I had a vote, I'd vote for the first barrel after driving to the holding wharehouse.)

[@thomasbuck303]

Man I really love this video! 👏👏👏

[@BlunderfulGuy]

Been SO looking forward to this one. Excellent. A+.

[@fakie182]

So...any updates on this? Really curious about the results!

[@JuanAlvarez-mp8vk]

I'm not usually a Rex advocate, but he did a very good job filming what I'll call a "Whiskey and Wine bromance".

[@FightStealDrink]

Juan Alvarez , editing too. Now advocate me.

[@larrywagner1432]

Such a fantastic episode this week!

[@agrainofmalt]

Fascinating process and awesome video.

[@bitterandjaded_]

Maybe when they bottle the wine from the barrel you end up choosing, you could reserve a few cases to be available. Or even do some mini bottles and sell them together.

[@evansgoff476]

Good morning from Maine, my good gentlemen! Cheers!

[@joeJoe-pb3su]

Wow nice. I am not a wine guy but it is a great video. I love those barrels.

[@joartdz230]

In the emortal worlds of Randy Savage “Ohhhh Yeahhhh!!!!”

[@waynecostanza2280]

Epic episode! This was so fun and educational!

[@patrickmaggio4244]

That was a really cool episode. It makes me want to build a still on my back yard and start experimenting

[@The0rnate]

I loved this episode! That's super cool and interesting. S/o to Camera Man Rex! Question - You can wine-finish a whiskey, but does anyone whiskey finish wine?? Could get cool and funky.
