During his road trip to Austin, TX, Kirby stopped by The Whiskey Vault to visit Daniel Whittington and Rex Williams, two local whiskey experts. The Whiskey Vault houses hundreds of whiskeys from around the world, in this episode Kirby takes you on a tasting journey to discover your own personal whiskey style and enjoy watching this interview full of information and true gentleman stories.

"Kirby, what's your guilty pleasure?" "Well, sometimes I allow the small blade of my tie to be a little longer than the large blade."

Having a short torso, I have this issue.

[@LarryLeggins]

Man... about 45min. They really get loose, hilarious. Great conversation. But because of the Whiskey Vault a now have over 30 bottles. Thanks fellas, I'm enjoying the journey...

[@DavidHansen92]

The crossover we didn't know we needed! Love the video!

[@kirbyallison]

Thanks!

[@colinratner5504]

Yes!

[@wasabista1613]

"Correct me if I'm wrong, Daniel…" Man, Rex is on his best behavior around Kirby!

[@jesse1radio]

This is not a crossover I expected, but I do not mind.

[@dennisblogg]

Same for me. The dichotomy of Kirby and the whiskey tribe is pretty big to be honest. Yet the fact that they can converse and bond over whiskey is both amazing and honorable imho.

[@jesse1radio]

@@dennisblogg Totally agree! Plus it's good for business. Many crossovers on KZbin consist of two channels with a very similar/shared audience. This is almost a complete fresh set of eyes for both channels.

[@dennisblogg]

@@jesse1radio Unfortunately I went over to whiskey tribe's video and looked at the comments. Sad to see... Weird that a channel that promotes inclusion, openness and personal expression has such a rancid following.

[@kirbyallison]

Daniel and Rex are great guys! We had a ton of fun and were honored that they welcomed us into The Whiskey Vault!

[@emrahercancakir]

This is great. Two of my favorite channels collaborating. The whiskey equivalent for the reindeer leather story could be the Shackleton's Blended Malt Scotch Whisky. To bolster team spirit on his Antarctic expedition (Nimrod, 1907), Sir Ernest Shackleton personally ordered 25 cases of Mackinlay’s Rare Old Highland Malt Whisky. In 2007, a century after the expedition, three cases of the perfectly preserved whisky were discovered, frozen into the ice beneath Shackleton’s base camp at Cape Royds. The whisky was excavated and flown to New Zealand where it was carefully thawed by the New Zealand Antarctic Heritage Trust in a purpose-built environment and public gallery at Canterbury Museum. After its discovery frozen in the ice, world renowned Master Blender, Richard Paterson, carried out painstaking analysis to re-create this antique whisky, and used this as the foundation to create Shackleton - a modern Blended Malt with ice in its DNA. Whiskey is all about stories...

[@williamumbach592]

Kirby with The Tribe!

[@ryanwilliams1733]

Two of my favourite channels combined! Thank you for this.

[@justinwinningham4892]

And they’re so different lol

[@MichaelBSteeleAviation]

One of the best Texas crossovers 🔥🔥🥃

[@danmiller5881]

Two of my favorite channels. This is awesome!

[@bradleyharvey4250]

Words cannot express how happy this video makes me.

[@krollic]

I do not drink but it doesn't change how interesting these topics are.

[@kariusbaktus165]

Whiskey and menswear, my favourites.

[@michaelmason4206]

OMG. One of the best vids! Funny, informative and bro loaded. You gave as good as you got. Cheers!

[@aranvanderstarre]

Great video! I love it how Daniel and Rex are on a different level of style then Kirby but the three of you still enjoy and connect over the history, quality and tradition of whisky! Cheers!

[@chunkychinn]

Well done correct spelling of these Whisky`s

[@trevorbain4637]

Didn't know what to expect with this video but was very surprised as it was really good fun and entertaining another great video.

[@SludgeWarehouse]

This was a really great video. As someone who really loves Bourbon and just whiskey in general, I found this to be quite informative and enjoyable. Not expected from your channel but I definitely can see the connection and applaud you for venturing out into this kind of content. Also just want to express my appreciation for how nicely you have time stamped the different topics in this video.

[@raphthecollector3824]

One of my favorite videos to date. Good fun hearing you guys chat!

[@RobertMaxRees]

Of course Rex is wearing his troll shirt in this one. AND you got a coveted pour of Daniel's favorite old format Longmorn 16. Beautiful stuff.

[@JohnBrown-go1ro]

You were all very articulate up until the last 10 minutes, loved it! Added to favorites and thanks for the education.

[@jordanwilliams553]

im not sure if its just because im enjoying some whiskey at the same time as im watching this video, but i cant just feel the passion and energy these two bring, theyre more than two guys drinking alcohol , truly concourses in the craft of whiskey and its making me even more excited to watch, keep up the great content kirby. This channel alone embodies the gentlemen lifestyle i want to achieve.

[@danielblythe6617]

Great video, Kirby! Keep up the great work!

[@carlosmarrero6155]

How did I miss this?!!! Fantastic!

[@vicentegregorio6476]

Great video! Enjoyed it very much. Thanks.

[@kojiattwood]

I absolutely agree regarding their collective description of good japanese whiskey. An interesting parallel with the culture, in general.

[@MrThreescoops]

Kirbs, you've got some life my man....

[@jacobroa2563]

Awesome job on this collaboration Kirby. You are awesome!

[@PlagueKing_LordFalix]

Well, this just wasn't long enough. Give me more. MORE.

[@bourbonlover2713]

Outstanding and informative video. Top marks!

[@samuellopez6579]

I've just recently started to watch your exquisite channel, I was already a regular of Whisky Vault, they're great! It's awesome to see a crossover of great connoisseurs.

[@sonata2477]

This is the most informative video i have a cross to in youtube about whisky

[@beetlejews]

Kirby’s guiltiest pleasure was hilarious I’m dead hahahahaha

[@MysticDonBlair]

I have loved both these channels for a long time now ✨🤩✨

[@caseyjonesbklyn5796]

Great video. Enjoyed the discussion in definition of quality

[@gregvlant3752]

Brilliant video Kirby.

[@BrutusMaximusAurelius]

“A level three sommelier, and of course Rex, who’s a mooch”. 🤣

[@staylit007]

I can tell you guys were buzzing even before the recording haha

[@cindyschnittgrund9407]

watched this last night and with the suggestions offered I went and purchased red breast 12 and Balvenie 14 Caribbean Cask. Christmas presents for my husband

[@tt55k]

Wonderful episode , love the conversation, I am a single malt guy myself , prefer the highland single malts over the peaty single malts .

[@musicIistener]

love it!!

[@ascajc]

Daniel: “Like McDonald´s…” Rex: “We were classy for so long, you ruined it!” Hahaha

[@yakub1695]

Finally!

[@cortomaltes923]

Your eye reveal that its good whiskey! ENJOY KIRBY!!

[@donke7171]

Wow Rex next to Kirby......love it

[@litticus2771]

I'm not going to lie and say my life isn't calm and enjoyable and that I don't get to enjoy luxuries more than the average person, but boy I would be lying if I said I wasn't envious of Kirby's life.

[@rrwjes1571]

Two of my favorite Subscriptions together. How cool is that?!

[@weneedyourfeet3212]

Great video. I enjoyed my glass of Booker's with you guys, yes, Daniel, McDonalds breakfast is best

[@hiteshahir2671]

Oh they are my favorite.

[@smallsc111]

Damn my two favorite channels crossing over

[@TennesseeExplorer]

This is a great video. Love the discussion and insight as always. I live in Tennessee and there has been an explosion of craft Tennessee Whiskey distilleries opening since 2009 when the state made it legal for an additional 40+ counties to distill spirits. I'm hoping to at some point send Rex and Daniel some of my favorite Whiskey's from these distilleries to review. I think they would really like what's coming out of Tennessee right now.

[@ARlELATOM]

Amazing content 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@tyjameson7404]

Epic 🙏🏼❤️👍🏼👏🙌🏽🌹

[@onurcanyol605]

I love when Daniel poured more Longmorn for himself!

[@swollenaor]

Hear me out: (Kirby + Davidoff of London) + Whiskey tribe = awesome content?

[@expatexpat6531]

Very enjoyable discussion. May I suggest you do similar videos for port, sherry, and champagne?

[@markm.9731]

I have ordered Redbreast 12 after this video.

[@ahpadt]

you wont be disappointed. its really lovely. green spot is also a great recommendation at the same price point. single pot still but very different flavour.

[@alt5494]

Suggestions for next time take Rex shopping for proper shoes or wardrobe, and get his amazing wife to do a runnings commentary😙

[@danmiller5881]

Jeeze, Rex could have least put on a dress shirt for Kirby, LOL!

[@humanbass]

I follow both channels and expect this crossover lol

[@technolotree5690]

43:11 - Can't pull one over on Kirby, bro.

[@Sjackson2369]

Daniel wore the usual uniform, black shirt and jeans. At least rex dressed up for the guest.

[@technolotree5690]

48:46 - I would start off Daniel with an Allen Edmonds Higgins Mill boot. It fits his low key style, he could break them in, and I think he would start appreciating shoe construction.

[@yayayaokoksure]

I could live in that room.

[@technolotree5690]

46:40 - LOL. I think this is the first F-bomb on this channel. HAHAHA

[@revtmyers1]

How in the world I missed this I have no clue. Almost lost my MB status. LoL.

[@OneTonneNoodles]

Profanity at the start of a Kirby Allison video. I love it, very honest.

[@FrankCastle-he8fl]

I've been watching these guys for a long time and I'm going to be moving to Texas not too far from where they're at in the next six to eight months and I'll bring them some Cuban cigars and give them a cigar class since the last Joker they had on taking about cigars didn't know his head from his ass

[@danieldeburgh8437]

$40 is unfair. It’s over €60 in Ireland.

[@occultrealms]

I feel everytime one of the Whiskey guys curse, Kirby's necktie curls up an inch.

[@technolotree5690]

48:39 - For Rex, since he likes the ease of sandals, well, Allen Edmonds makes a sandal called the Oscar. It's okay. But I would advise him to try an AE Chukka Boot or a Chelsea. Both easy to put on, and again, fit in with their casual style.

[@greggani4716]

I have watched many if not all your videos and enjoyed them very much. But, you could have told me sooner that Allen Edmonds didn't make a quality shoe/boot before I invested in 9 pairs in two years! Smh! Lol.

[@kirbyallison]

🙄

[@kirbyallison]

If you send them to us to be properly resoled, they will double in value! A lot of the lost finesse w AE comes down to their bottom finishing.

[@greggani4716]

@@kirbyallison I will do that. Thank you. Back the Blue and Happy Thanksgiving.

[@biblestudynetwork2949]

What did you call that guy , a bouch? Lol or mouch haha.

[@davidjessee7701]

Bourbon has to be from Kentucky or it’s just whiskey!!!

[@Mister_Phafanapolis]

KZbin played me an Allbirds commercial before this video. Such disrespect to Kirby!

[@randall5145]

Oh man, the art of BS is alive and well!

[@joedirt3449]

😢😢😢

[@bene7013]

Your biggest crime: 21:53

[@JI-tz1gz]

Very refreshing episode, hope there is more. Just one thing, yes, if it doesn't have an age statement (distillers trying just to cheat money from you), it is chilled filtered and non natural color... yes it is dead to me

[@RS-686]

How is no age statement a distillery trying to cheat money?

[@JI-tz1gz]

@@RS-686 If you blend two malts different age of SAME distillery, it is still a single malt not a blend. Then, if you mix a 12y malt with a very small fraction of and older malt say 14 to give an extra flavor, you can call it "Masters Edition" and charge a hefty premium well above de 12y versions price. This is only one of many examples. This also happens with blends, a good example was JW 15 years replaced for some time by the Green label no statement. Unfortunately distilleries resort to that when their stock of a particular age is low and they want to keep the sales volume, thus all those "specials"....

[@intramolecular]

You mention "Scotch" (personally I hate this term) and Bourbon but forget to mention Irish Whiskey. The Irish invented whiskey making and it was exported to Scotland, in my opinion a far superior drink is Irish whiskey. It is smoother thanks to triple distillation and lends itself more to cigar smoking.

[@davidjessee7701]

It has to be from Kentucky to be bourbon!!

[@paulmcgee1867]

It’s whisky

[@joedirt3449]

Very good

[@LeScandal]

Ha! Kirby is so out of place here. 😂

[@headgroundsman1650]

pride of ireland ....scotch whiskey????.....is it not just whiskey and scotch whisky?......can there be irish scotch??

[@HuskyHuey]

It’s a joke shirt

[@SarcasticSoul143]

What the fork?????????? Who are you sir???????????

[@longshanks90]

That room is like a porno to me 😅

[@gerardzonjee]

It would be so nice if Kirby would work on omitting the gap words “you know, like, kinda/kind of, I mean”. I’m sorry to bring it up, it can not be unheard now. I suggest a Highland Park 12 yr so you can finish the bottle in every episode...

[@LLUrbanAchiever]

A fair point, but misplaced. Kirby is not presenting himself as an orator here, he’s getting mellow with companions while presenting fine whiskey.

[@chunkychinn]

Whisky = Scottish, Whiskey= Irish, So why have these guys not put forward any Irish Whiskeys when they are wearing "Whiskey" T Shirts. Disgrace.

[@johnbenesh9663]

See you're the gatekeeper type that nobody here likes

[@AFpaleoCon]

Nothing classy or gentlemanly about alcohol.
