Poor Man's Dalmore King Alexander III

[@ifancyurmom]

Dude I could totally watch Daniel do this blending wizardry all day. It’s so entertaining and satisfying to watch to me haha anyone else??

[@theswad]

Absolutely agreed. This gets me excited to try their blends when the distillery opens. All that somm knowledge put in a glass!

[@Sturmlied]

The only thing I hate about it is my inability to confirm the results at the same time :)

[@thomasbuck303]

Yes

[@wideone23]

absolutely. It's the most educational the channel has been in a while! Nobody tell Rex though, he'll be pissed if RexWeek ends up being productive!

[@gilbertgoldsmith1158]

We need smellavision.

[@randymoore9388]

#Rexageddon day 2: Somm 2, Mooch 0 Daniel is winning the battle of The Vault thus far with sheer knowledge, patience, and Hobbit-ly wisdom. #TeamSomm

[@ilovepudding7873]

yea but what daniel said if it was bourbon it wouldnt work so if rex is a clever mooch he picks bourbon next time

[@jonathanmoore8374]

The Mooch is useful for our entertainment, but for our refinement and edification we need the Somm! God's speed to you this week Daniel! #TeamSomm

[@MartinMcClellanGT]

I just bought the last bottle of Dalmore 15 available online in Quebec. Thank you Whiskey Vault for the suggestion some videos ago! Love you guys !

[@curtise.gill67]

Just joined the tribe. Love you guys. Its so much easier to watch your videos with a glass of whisky. although even when im out, I still love to watch. You guys opened my eyes to good liquer. Much obliged.

[@GuillermoGarcia99885]

He is such a giver, the altruism rex shows is out of this world. Why can't Daniel be so kind huh?

[@chacehawkins4708]

Watching you two blend is super entertaining. Makes me excited to see what comes out of the distillery.

[@YanceyFoster]

Daniel's mooch-defense is outpacing Rex's mooch-ismo. The realization on Rex's face halfway through was epic! Somebody meme that, please. *Ninja edit: 6:49 reality sets in.

[@jackcanox4015]

How can you hate Dalmore... They are great! The whisky is delicious and they are super nice...i spoke extensively on the dalmore facebook team and they are suuuper cool and friendly too!

[@charlieghague]

jack canox I don't get it either. People complain about the chill filtering, coloring, and that it's only 40% ABV. But all that should really matter is if it tastes good. And Dalmore is delicious! If it tastes amazing, then the coloring and chill filtering should be irrelevant. I'll bet the average person couldn't even tell the difference BTW an uncolored, unfiltered, and 46%ABV Dalmore anyway.

[@jnastiness2052]

Quinta Ruban was the first scotch I bought myself when I turned 21. I didn’t care for it then and I haven’t had it since but I’d be interested in trying it again after years of drinking whiskey

[@Paul_Calvi]

Absolutely loving Rex month!!

[@Incubansoul]

He's gone mad with power! GIVE HIM MORE

[@Hytaz_Fjord]

Thanks for uploading this again. Loved the old format Laughing and choking on my poor man's blend of... Eh whiskey I think. It was a time of laughter. I know the whiskey tribe channel still tries to deliver the laugh and Briana is a great plus, but the old episodes are just so much better. Sorry but they are.

[@Reitzel996]

Rex week is like a masterclass in becoming a mooch, and in that case It would be quite interesting to hear "The 10 Commandments of the Mooch". BTW, who is winning this, the guy who drinks from a glass, or the guy drinking directly from the bottle. You gotta take it up a notch Rex, if you don't want Daniel to get wins from this!

[@Paul_Calvi]

Guys your channel has quickly become my favourite! 😁

[@hungary191296]

Rex that gulp at the end was very classy. Loved it. Challenge Daniel next time with him doing his selections blindfolded.

[@charlieghague]

Daniel needs to add blending to the curriculum of the sommelier course. He's pretty freaking good at it. In fact, the new distillery should have a blend based on the best concoction from these episodes and name it #rexweek. Yes, hashtag is included.

[@canadianwhiskysmith6453]

According to the Whisk(e)y Academy website, blending is part of the curriculum for Sommelier Level 3 and 4. :-D

[@charlieghague]

Canadian Whisky Smith Awesome!

[@Westspark]

Level 3/4?? Daniel is a level 3!?!? It should be an optional extension for level 1... as a novice, blending has become one of the best parts!!

[@thedahaka25]

This series is amazing

[@JasonFisk]

I do love a Dalmore, I love the KAIII, and the 12... And I bought my second bottle of Cigar Malt on Saturday.

[@thatskrazee]

LMAO guys! Just when you thought Rex couldn't possibly get any more douchey, Rex month begins! Rex month(s) should maybe become a holiday tradition every year?

[@matthewschonsheck6534]

All I know is Rex month is making me thirsty. Although I may consider creating a spreadsheet to document these poor man versions.

[@BigPawTivald]

Rex, I hope you tell Daniel you love him everyday. Friends like him are next to impossible to come by.

[@akuthia]

And at the end of rex month, the whiskey vault announces a Kickstarter for a new liver :Edit: autocorrect'd rex's name

[@canadianwhiskysmith6453]

Nah...it would be a GoFundMe page ;-)

[@MrPuertorico85]

Daniel is a whiskey wizard...Long Live Rex year

[@dubesinhower]

Just finished watching every episode of Whiskey Vault. Bask in my glory! I have a question though. I'm a pretty novice whiskey drinker. Just bought some glencairn glasses, and was trying to nose some Old Grand Dad and some Jameson. I noticed that I could barely smell anything from Old Grand Dad. Is it because OGD has less alcohol, or is somehow less complex in nose than Jameson? Love the show!

[@WhiskeyVault]

Yeah, less alcohol means less evaporation quickly in the nose. That's likely it!

[@BCH1968FLL]

Headed to Whiskyfest in NYC on Nov 16th. Any of the tribe going?

[@abcarlson3293]

Didnt you also pour a splash of balvenie in that glass for the "plum note"?...Looked like Caribbean cask.

[@jdnlv]

Rex Month is off to a glorious start. I could watch Daniel blend scotch and Rex drink it all day.

[@srirangdhawale5242]

The end of the week is going to turn the Somm into Gollum!! PRECIOUSSSSSS BISCUITSSSSSS!!!! MY PRECIOUSSSSSSSSSSS!!!

[@jaredng1878]

Loving Rex month!

[@andersfjellvikas2009]

It's really interesting to see principal component analysis applied to whiskey

[@brandonbeddows5101]

Holy shit lmfao just had a dream I was in a bar and Daniel and Rex came to my table I freaked out was about to drink with my favorite people... then I woke up

[@Martineilertsen]

Brandon Beddows one can only dream to drink with the gods.

[@CCMiniBucks]

😂😂😂 I revisited some of the early vault after watching Daniel do story time about Glenlivet. Thabks for taking the time to enlighten me on how to make that elusive Dalmore sipping session. I think i have all of those on the shelf, maybe. Also early Somme V Mooch is hilarious, such a shame it had to end that way 😢

[@whiskeydrinker7861]

Glad I found this channel. Subscribed.

[@sowlegwhiskyreview5501]

With that recipe I think it is safe to conclude that I'll love the King Alexander III 😋

[@TINY_GUY]

Watching all this happen hurts my body. And seeing Daniel in pain makes me glad im not alone. So sorry Daniel. Just remember, im hurting with you.

[@raymondmota2776]

The 6:50 mark had me almost spew me whiskey haha. Keep up the great work guys.

[@GunnaLearnToday]

Love the show guys. Looking to buy Jack Daniel’s Rye; so naturally I went to your channel looking for a review but can’t find one. It would be pretty cool to hear your thoughts on it. Don’t stop REX WEEK!!!

[@Bazzen]

He will soon become "Darth Mooch". I can feel the force in him

[@darrellhood5430]

All hail ye mighty REX!!!

[@6038adams]

Daniel soul is dying on this Rex week

[@justanotherparatrooper7098]

i know this could be the end of the whisky vault but what about a poor mans Macallan M? or blendageddon with high end whiskey

[@cubsnbulls3427]

I'm pretty new to the scotch appreciation scene and am wondering if you turn any of those whisky bottles to wet the corks?? You guys make some great videos also!👍🏻🥃🏆

[@carsonprice5368]

You guys should try to recreate the more unicorn whiskeys! Like anything from angels envy or brenne?!?!? Or something from Johnnie Walker since they like to use a copious amount different whiskeys in their blends.

[@ryanthewineguy3172]

Looking forward to this month! Hell yeah!

[@NZAnimeManga]

Supreme Leader Kim Jong-Rex

[@Sturmlied]

Rex is latin for king after all :)

[@jakebackpack8292]

Hey I love your guys channel. I am 21 and live in Orange County Ca. I am getting into whisk(e)y and since I'm only 21 I don't have a lot of money and I don't wanna buy the wrong bottle. I have had Glenlevite 12 and I liked it but could you find an affordable good whiskey in my area? please don't let me buy another bottle of jack......

[@WhiskeyVault]

Try out our Top Ten most Recommended for beginners! We did it based on the most voted beginner whiskies from our community in the comments. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hqDIeoOofr2Ihdk

[@paullowery2772]

Rex is awesome

[@rhyscampbell2398]

What about the other distillery where Dalmore is made? Teaninich they use the same water?

[@canadianwhiskysmith6453]

I feel like #RexWeek (#RexMonth) would be a great basis for a whisk(e)y club. You look at Daniel's recipes and everyone brings a bottle to contribute towards the blend. You could call this club: "Whisky Stone Soup" (in honour of the classic folk tale). Perhaps this is the true value of Whisk(e)y Stones? You go into a Scotch club and ask for a glass of water. You pull out your own Glencairn, add a whisky stone, and wait for someone to come ask you about it. When someone finally questions you, tell them: "I'm making Whisky Stone Soup." Proceed to regale them with tales of this magical stone and how it can take plain water and turn it into the Aqua Vitae...in fact, it can make water into any high-end Scotch you want! Sprinkle a drop of water on the stone and start nosing it. "It's subtle...but what would make it so much better is if it had some Dalmore 12 to help season it." Wait for someone to provide said spirit. Continue in this fashion until you have assembled your Whisky Stone Soup. Of course, you have to have the right audience for such a ploy, but a true Master Mooch Extraordinaire could pull it off, drink down the soup (without sharing), and convince everyone to try again because the recipe didn't quite work the first time.

[@johndeveau8486]

Daniel and Rex... I want to make this but can’t afford the actual King Alexander to compare... what ratios did you use? My girlfriend is absolutely wanting to try this! Please please help!!!!

[@WhiskeyVault]

Dang. I need to go back and figure it out again.

[@alexcheukyin]

Rexmonth is gonna make a magnificent advent calendar ... #Rexvent

[@wp2746]

Looks like the box has been mooched already :)

[@ernestcpena]

The Macallen 10 Fine Oak was discontinued so if you find it, it costs about $400. What is a good substitute?

[@EvanCurrie]

This is gonna be one LOOONG week. I do like the blending though.

[@robertirby6792]

Since Rex month was wrong with a single trash can shoot Daniel should be able to recover a day every time he makes a shot #teamsomm

[@jaxson1948]

Great job guys, hilarious!!! One thing, it would be cheaper to just buy the KING than to buy and mix all of those different drams!

[@Info123aqua]

Hello. First time commenting. I need to know where to buy the Glenrothes sherry cask or Glenrothes sherry cask reserved? I found the rest but can't seem to locate that bottle. And how close is this poor man's blend to King Alexander 3. I had my first taste of it n it was pretty good. Thank you

[@WhiskeyVault]

It was within 80%. On Glenrothes, you may have to resort to online ordering. Master of Malt possibly.

[@Info123aqua]

Whiskey Vault I see. Can I used glenrothes sherry cask reserved. Thank you

[@dustinstober9647]

Loved this!

[@luish1341]

you guys, im very happy with the dalmore 12😉

[@myHuge249]

maaan we were this close to buying a king Alexander at the dalmore distillery today

[@MarcG28]

This episode confirms my belief that Rex and Daniel are the Rick and Morty of the Whiskey world....

[@alexkilba1355]

Question for the Master Mooch, what level moochitude does mooching a glass of Crown Royal, a glass of Canadian Club, a glass of Glenlivet and ½ bottle of Ballentine's grant me?

[@nanlaar]

Rex is cleverly displaying Daniel's superior whisky mixing skills. Well played and I would definitely drink a blend made from Daniel! #Rexweek #Danielblend

[@canadianwhiskysmith6453]

Really, Rex isn't just doing US a public service by cajoling Daniel into creating Poor Man's Blends. He is actually doing this for Daniel's benefit. Level 4 Somm Certification is: Craft & Cocktail. It includes building upon the Somm 3 whisky blending. We have seen Rex grow from a fledgling Level 5,000 Whisky Mooch (episode 28) to the Master Mooch Extraordinaire we all know and love today. Sadly, Daniel has stayed a Level 3 Whisky Somm. #RexWeek is really Rex's gift to Daniel. An opportunity for him to give the gift of learning. He's helping Daniel study so he, too, can attain the next step in his whisky evolution.

[@superhumanben]

Rexmonth plan: Get as much whiskies in one drink. Daniel: Challenge excepted

[@leepetrenka]

Rex needs to ask not what is expensive but what is complicated. To try and better trump Daniel. Expensive doesn’t always mean depth. It often does but you can still have expensive whiskeys that are just more refined versions of their less expensive counter parts. That’s just my two bits. And you can have some mid-priced ( at least by me) whiskeys such as lagavulin, or Bookers.

[@speedrakk]

that shirt really looks good on you.

[@roryleslie740]

Glendronach 12 would be one way to get the nutty finish.

[@eggstraordinair]

I'd like to see how that blend tastes like after letting it mature for a couple of weeks

[@infideler]

That was the best ending ever

[@AllThingsCubey]

Please.... do this for some of the discontinued Japanese whisky

[@ElliotTheMakerStreams]

I would love this but with blantons

[@strangeghost7]

Without a doubt, for me, Rex Week/Month/Year/Decade has been great so far just so Daniel can pull of his impressive whiskey alchemy. He can blend a mimic of these whiskey's so fast with so little effort. Its a viable superpower. I mean I guess this is what the masters do at the actual distilleries, but I've never seen it before. I thought it would be way harder. Daniel's like the rat from Ratatouille, only with Scotch. We better get a bourbon from Rex to see if Daniel can even surprise himself. I'm betting on him now.

[@andrewryan5293]

"I will just drink it out of the bottle" children scream in background. LOL

[@TheBioethicist]

I’m loving the poor man’s versions thing, and I think you could make it a once in a while recurring thing. Hey, so and so just released a new expensive special edition, let’s see if we can blend a copy. Black Art, any new thing from compass box, whatever weird shit comes up. I’d watch the shit out of them.

[@chuck430]

don't you add those ribbons off the newly opened bottles to the mooch necklace? and shouldnt the mooch be decked out for mooch week?

[@badasspuppy]

I think I just woke up my neighbor laughing my ass off with this one

[@gilbertgoldsmith1158]

Dalmore King Alexander runs close to $300.00 a bottle here in Coastal SC.

[@SmallLab129]

Hey Guys, Found out my cousin is part of the tribe! #WhiskeyVault bringing family together!

[@JohnJohn-qh1dv]

Daniel is a whisky genious

[@adamsmith7883]

Every time I hear the Mooch belt out "Rex Moooooooooonth!!!!" all I can think of is "Pickle Riiiiiiiiick!". haha

[@jeffseiger1617]

Rex is fooking awesome!!!!

[@deanr4089]

In honour of Rex month, you could do a George Thorogood inspired "one bourbon one scotch one beer" episode. Kind of like food pairings, except interesting.

[@JefferyEPetrone]

This is the dawning of the Age Of Rex! Soms be damned. Hail the mooch overlord.

[@randymoore9388]

Begone foul deceiver! Ye mooching serpents must be driven from The Vault!

[@robertk1129]

Lmfao service me "somm" dude I almost choked when you stole his drink and slammed it lol

[@ScotchTestDummies]

Awesome episode! Go Rex Month😉

[@FightStealDrink]

Scotch Test Dummies, thank you! Ya'lls apology video for bad whisky pronunciations was pretty damn funny. 👍

[@Aqvavitae]

Yeah, can't help thinking my friends at STDs were taking a little pop at me for my pronunciation videos 🤔 Everything about this channel gets better. You guys are championing a whole new WhiskyTube audience and it's epic. Lang may yer lum reek.

[@FightStealDrink]

thank you, sir! im the worst kind of pronunciation sinner. 7 seconds after i hear it correctly, i'm back to my 'Murican bastardization

[@ScotchTestDummies]

We do these live streams and would love to do one with you guys if you'd like to take a look at it. shoot us an email at [e-mail]

[@FightStealDrink]

i appreciate the invite! since this is a channel for a non-profit school, we have a ton of regulations on what / how / who we can collaborate with. 😬

[@PeacefulStrawberry]

I thought I saw you put Balvenie Carribean Cask in there too?

[@MilkBreakMinecraft]

Wait what happened to that Belvenie 14 I thought I saw there..?

[@DF59821]

i'm a bit of an amature whiskey enthusiast. i particularly like bourbon and wanted to know if there are any real sweet, woody bourbons out there anyone knows of (that do not cost an arm or a leg)

[@johndeveau9359]

It was Dalmore 12 glenrothes Sherry Cask macallan 10 fine oak and Auchentashen three wood

[@muffythebunny]

Can I still be a tribe member if I only like my whiskey and bourbon in a finely crafted cocktail? Do you need a bootle of 2 Gingers for the vault?

[@beefjerkykoolaid]

Love this

[@hakonandreasolaussen1949]

This blending has to continue on after Rex month, it's too damn great to be one month only #WhiskyScience

[@Mercutio01]

Rex month = Best month

[@RydersCove]

Daniel is owning Rex at his own game

[@thezac2613]

If you look closely, you can see Daniel's soul withering away. By the end of #RexMonth, Daniel will be a broken, shell of a man, cowering in the corner of the vault.

[@hipsterscout1]

Are we gonna get whiskey vault/biscuit merch? Tshirts?

[@lh8372]

What about.... ? Dalmore 12 (Base) GlenDronach 12 (Sherry) Clynelish 14 (Waxy) Glenmorangie 14 (Musty Port)

[@michaelsmith1675]

Daniel if rex switches to Bourbon source crowd for flavor profiles Or bring a the ringer Tom Fischer

[@coasternut3091]

Any chance of getting the '71 Constellation?
