The Aerosmith Gig - Rabbit Hole Cavehill Bourbon

[@robnewbold1]

Daniel is a wonderful storyteller. His voice is pure fluidity.

[@matthewsawczyn6592]

Not gonna lie, seeing a glass from nine years ago and thinking how far y'all have come was so moving 😭❤

[@timshulepov]

6:16 -- "But we didn't care, we had the time of our lives" -- somehow that phrase reminds me of 15 years I spent playing music in local bands. The feeling that I miss the most is best described by that phrase. Thank you, Daniel, for reminding me of the best times that live music brought to me. Also, great story! :)))

[@RobertMaxRees]

after a bit of research - sounds like Rhodes opened for Aerosmith in 2007. if that's the case, it looks like the opening tune for that show was Love in an Elevator, which makes that story even better!

[@SC-zp3kn]

DCI Semi-Finals night playing in Lucus Oil Stadium and playing the Whiskey a Go-Go are my two "feel like a god" moments, its a fucking glorious feeling, but I'd argue even better than the power is when your group is so tight that you pull off a crisp perfect cut off and the silence is deafening, right before the screaming, cheers, and, applause, crash onto stage like the break of a wave. It happens in all the right ways, bittersweet quintessence; you realize you can, and will never experience "this" singular moment again in your life, and if you take a second to apricate the gravity as it unfolds, you realize the feeling of being infinite.

[@damayor62]

You're a famous rock star to all of us Daniel. Thank you, keep up the great work & rock on!

[@jeb4059]

Another great feelgood story. Love the passion, excitement and positivity.

[@Sman7290]

At least you figured out what the fan was for... and had a fantastic day.

[@brettsdrumshop]

This was the best one of these videos yet! 🎸 🥁 🎤

[@michaelcassidy4566]

I want to hear some of your music!! Let's hear it!

[@HalcyonSunset]

I actually really like cave hill, but if you're gonna go rabbit hole definately try their sherried version, the Derringer, it's delicious.

[@Zordy21]

Really glad you’re here with these stories Daniel. Awesome stuff

[@cooperage_torcedor]

If this was during the Get A Grip tour. Eat The Rich was there first song when I saw them in Boise, ID back in mid 90’s

[@samman623]

Great story, would love to hear about more shows

[@StephenDG]

You played with Aerosmith! Wtf! That’s brilliant. Lucky bastard! Congrats

[@FANTAVISION]

I really really want more backstory of Daniel’s band!

[@-RONNIE]

Thanks for the video 🥃

[@rogerreese7624]

Love this! I was on the edge of my seat!

[@ChristopherWhalen-db5uv]

Great story, well told. And a whiskey review! Thanks.

[@JustinPivinski-cm2rh]

That's an awesome experience

[@donaldday7850]

Love the stories! You're a great story teller.

[@BleedingOz]

Damn, now I'm intrigued and want to see your performance! Is there video avaiable somewhere?

[@WhiskeyVault]

Not of that one

[@robertnichols4223]

Great story.

[@adampoe2573]

Honey malt is a a German barley that is lightly toasted. You can look it up as "Gambrinus Honey Malt". It is regularly used as specialty/flavoring malt in several beer styles.

[@jamesbohling4864]

Love the stories

[@YODAddyLIVE]

We're all here for your story each and every week. You're famous. My wife even knows you, well cuz I tell her about all your stories, but this isn't about me. It's about someone famous, YOU.

[@jonathanlunneberg1722]

Honey malt isn't a barley strain. It is regular barley grain (could be a variety of different strains) that is malted using a specific malting process that gives it a honey type flavor. It's used a lot in the craft beer world.

[@WhiskyForBeginners]

I love Aerosmith's early stuff. Up through Night In the Ruts (which is more consistent than anything which preceded it) they produced some fantastic music. But the band was never the same after Joe Perry left.

[@robviousobviously5757]

so, Rex has a shot at rock deity status?

[@mikesinistar8834]

The rabbit hole dareringer is my favorite right now, really good whiskey. Also they probably hired you to open because you didn't have hair to blow in the wind... couldn't steal any of Steven Tyler's thunder lol

[@padensmith4354]

Chattanooga uses honey malted barely also

[@stephane.foisy.186]

Great story and who says you are not famous!?! 😜

[@scottelder7648]

Very cool story!! I’m a big Aerosmith fan as well. I just toured Rabbit Hole Distillery two weeks ago. I liked all their offerings. Really liked their Deringer. It’s a bourbon finished in px sherry casks.

[@BondingOverBourbon]

The cask strength single barrel Heingold absolutely blew us away. If you can ever find it, grab it and don't even think about it.

[@GorillaGlueEnthusiast]

As a heavy metal fan myself our vision of "real rock stars" are hilariously different! 😂

[@thomaselmer9728]

AAAHHH, you're famous on KZbin. 😁

[@xxacidmv]

Welcome all Whiskey Vaulters to the Opening Act for Aerosmith Story Time with Daniel!

[@WhiskeyMathanDearg]

Grown the beard longer, because to be a rock star my friend it's blowin' the wind...the answer, it's blowin' in the wind. OR maybe a folk star

[@johnleiman6194]

But what was the size of the stage in bananas?

[@WhiskeyVault]

2,375

[@bradkirbey1560]

Great story!! Although Aerosmith is legendary, I fell sure you would have been too if not for the follicle challenges. If I had musical talent or could carry a tune, I too would have been rock legend! LOL

[@curtishoffmann6956]

Daniel is more famous in the whiskey world than Tyler will ever be. Hold on to that.

[@gordonhall9943]

I was gonna say the same thing! cheers!

[@paerebanan]

Tyler who? 😉

[@padensmith4354]

Real talk

[@justwhisky]

Curious how much you were paid for that gig?

[@WhiskeyVault]

Zero. But we did get paid for the shitty Mr. Rick's gig.

[@justwhisky]

@@WhiskeyVault bragging rights…. Priceless!

[@shaftymcnasty]

Kerry King is somewhat famous guitar player

[@neilmattos2756]

🤘🏻😁🤘🏻

[@texas66]

Poor Rabbit Hole.... I had to go back to see if you actually committed on the bourbon....

[@kevinquill6638]

you're the most famous person I've ever talked to...but I don't get out a lot

[@charlesstair595]

If you had become a famous musician then I would never have discovered the whiskey vault channel and would still be drinking cheap whiskey shots. I guess your loss was all of our gain.

[@duckcc73]

So you're saying you were . . . almost famous?

[@WhiskeyVault]

'High five' nailed it

[@chrisson4234]

Glad you didn't get famous Daniel otherwise we would have missed you here.

[@YoJimBo851610]

1st

[@zs1917]

Body swap with Rex and try it out

[@aaronfarr6782]

The only reason? lol

[@khicks72]

I kinda feel like anybody who has half a million subscribers has SOME claim to fame.
