RARE WHISK[E]Y FRIDAY! - Christmas Day 2020!

[@trenttilton3279]

Hey guys, thank you for checking out my whiskey! That batch of rye contains 15% Peated Barley and 10% Dark Crystal Rye. The rice is a blend of brown/white rice, and no flavorings were added. Please let me know if you have any further questions. :) Cheers and Merry Christmas.

[@Natural_influence]

The rice blending sounds interesting, I'm surprised, that more distillery's don't use it

[@trenttilton3279]

@@Natural_influence I am surprised more distilleries don't make a rice whiskey in general. It is by far my favorite grain to work with.

[@DragonCrafter98]

What things do rice bring to a whiskey that are distinct from other grains? As a passing hobbyist I've wondered why more people didn't experiment with different grains. Thank you for putting in the research and I will definitely be looking for it in my area to try.

[@trenttilton3279]

@@DragonCrafter98 I love working with rice, just like in cooking it can take on many flavors. Generally it ends up in the very nice fruity / citrus range. Finishing it in sherry casks just brings out many fun characteristics.

The idea of whiskey distilled from uncle ben's 90 second rice is a whisky tribe episode waiting to happen

[@jaygriffin3878]

It NEEDS to happen bro, stg.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all the MBs. The pandemic has severely cut into my ability to keep up to date with videos~am trying to catch up during the holiday break. Hope you all are well and enjoying all the good spirits of the season. Cheers to a better 2021! 🥃

Merry Christmas and happy holidays to all Magnificent Bastards!!!! I hope 2021 to compensate for 2020 and be a wonderful year for all, with good health, good company and above all good whisk(e)y!!!

I am so glad I found this channel. This channel turned me on to whisky. Only tried 5 different whisky's and I'm loving the adventure.

[@curtking7780]

Merriest of Christmases! Looks like my next trip to San Diego I will be looking to check out that Rice Whiskey. Also, besides corn nuts and funyons, there is a 3rd snack that endures yourself to others in the car..."Dog Farts in a Bag" AKA chicarones or pork rinds!

Daniel: I have a lot of English friends. Rex: Do you though? I don't know why that made me snort/laugh so loud.

One does not simply laugh for no reason.

I got my own rare whiskey bottle for Christmas today. I got 1 of 144 bottles of VA Distillery Co's Caledonia release. It's a 10 year old Islay bottled at cask strength, & is quite tasty.

Ohhh finally a whiskey from my area (San Diego)! Instantly ordered some after this since now im super curious about what its like

After Covid, visit the cool tasting room in Spring Valley.

[@sarahgiggles9444]

Hello fellow San Diegan! Might I suggest that it is 100% worth the drive up to Vista in North County to visit the 117 West distillery? Their tasting room is closed atm but they still do pickups. When these guys reviewed their whiskey on Rare Whiskey Friday (07/24/20 if you want to check it out) I got myself a bottle and it has been DARN LOVELY

[@ThePwnerdude]

@@sarahgiggles9444 Oh I definitely will since i live in Vista! I've only gotten into whiskey the past couple months so I have no idea of the craft places around :)

[@puddingwar5110]

The orange peel smell/taste I wonder if it's esters from the yeast they used? I know getting rice to ferment can take some interesting things.🤔

[@petelarobardiere2543]

You tried the San Diego peated in the old vault. I believe it was a rare whiskey Friday too. I bought a bottle because it was quite an impact. Now it’s my you have to try this bottle. The most dense whiskey I’ve ever tried.

Hmm almond roca with some of the Evan Williams... I get peanut and chocolate notes, from a few of their whiskeys. I enjoy having some almond's/peanuts on deck to pair with.

I'm pretty sure Rex had nam flashbacks when Daniel said the word "biscuits" until he realized Daniel was talking about American style biscuits.

[@ericnix5034]

Thumbs up for sharing the Waterford secret gentleman 👍🏽👍🏽

[@elixwhitetail]

People also told them how to open those glass corks in the comments of the Waterford review, almost immediately. And I'm pretty sure there were comments in the several Shelter Point reviews over the last two or so years about how to open a bottle with a Vinolok/Vinoseal glass stopper. They're very easy to get out but if you try to pull them out like a normal cork spillage is almost guaranteed.

[@mathewkeipert6021]

You guys are platinum. From Adelaide, South Australia.

[@deerjerf1]

It sounds like that San Diego Rice whiskey would be good to use for making an easier old fashioned.

[@elixwhitetail]

Daniel, there were also comments on the Waterford review video, day of I'm pretty sure, about the right way to open those glass corks. And on at least some of the Shelter Point reviews you guys have done in the last two years, since they use the same stoppers. I guess we know who you really listen to when the cameras are off ;)
