I love whiskey, and have been watching for about a year. The thing that makes me happy and worried is my newborn(literally 5 days old) is more calmed than myself watching you guys talk about the water of life. Thank you for helping cause sweet dreams.

[@RyanErland]

Hey guys just wanted to say thanks. Finding the vault was that push I needed to start my whiskey journey 6 months ago. But wow the tribe is better than I imagined, reading comments/stories plus you 2 has helped make this a journey instead of a simple list of bottles to try.

[@CimInc]

Just got home from a 4 day trip to Dublin, visited the Jameson Distillery on Bow Street and got myself a Distillery Edition (only obtainable there) and this triple pack as well. Very happy with my visit there and the Whiskey is sublime, for a fan of the Irish flavor profile.

[@ErikWaitWhiskyStudies]

I appreciate these videos, especially at the beginning of another manic Monday, I wish it were Sunday, because that’s my fun day... oh, crap now I’ve got that song stuck in my head!

[@SamuraiHuey]

High level Futurama reference, Rex is officially my favorite now

[@kevinhamutov8778]

Will Brent tis a good Zapp Branigan reference.

[@Davidjones-ox4yk]

I loved the comment about dodgy bars always having Jameson. That’s EXACTLY why I started drinking it! I now love Irish whiskey

[@barrygriggs4099]

Guys I was a whick(e)y drinker in sleepy hibernating limbo...I just drank Jack and Jameson and Johnny and thought I’d had what was to be had....then I found you..you magnificent bastards! ....and now my cigars have the best of friends to tarry with! Thank God you made whisky cool and interesting again! With that I have but one quintessential question to ask you....HOW DO YOU WHISKY? Greetings from South Africa. ( which I believe have a huge consumption of whisky compared to most countries actually. Love the show and love the history and information.

[@pyornkrachzark]

I recently bought a bottle of Redbreast 12 this weekend because of how much you all praised its magnificence. It truly lives up to your reviews! Next up is the cask strength!

[@canadianwhiskysmith6453]

In my area, the Cask Strength is only about $5 more than the standard. Still not in my budget right now, but when I take the plunge, it will likely be to go for the cask :-D

[@Cynical496]

Just had the cask strengths and the 12. Cask is uncomparable

[@danielstipich3680]

At the end of a long day, 500 miles away from my home (and my own vault of brown, liquid comfort), this video is exactly what I needed. I love Irish whiskey and I can't wait to get home and get my hands on some more

[@samuelkallis4943]

"We've done Cooper's Croze before". *proceeds to walk towards Irish wiskey* *realizes it's too high to grab for his hobbit stature* Daniel's internal thought process "Dear God what have I done! Rex will point out my ass in jeans, again! I have an idea." *Waves in general direction of whiskey with a limp wrist* "It's over here."

[@Saw_Squatch]

CONSIDER YOURSELVES CHALLENGED!!! I can't believe you haven't done it already but I'd like to see you guys either on this channel or the whiskey tribe pair one bourbon, one scotch and one beer together. You can match them however you like and in whatever order but I'd love to see it and I know you'd love to drink it!

[@troyjeffrey4311]

I've been trying to learn how to distinguish notes as I've gotten more into whiskey thanks to these two magnificent bastards. Daniel's advice is A+. I used to get just one bottle at a time and I'd be completely lost. Now I always get multiple bottles and compare them. The difference between Aberlour A'bunadh and Suntory Toki is so great that anyone can immediately start recognizing specific notes. At the very least you'll be start to understand the differences between certain types of whiskey which is a good foundation as well. I'm still very much a beginner, but I feel with the help of Daniel, Rex, and the rest of the Whiskey Tribe I'm getting there.

"Podunk" Indiana is basically every town outside of Indianapolis, in Indiana. I know this having grown up next door in BFE, Indiana, which is just the other side of Middleonowhere, Indiana.

If your doing Canadian whiskey I would suggest Gooderham and Worts, Is my favorite by far, (coming from a Canadian)

[@bmsmusician]

It is clear that Rex is a bit of since his normal answer to "which were you favourite of your three" would normally be "a little bit of each" and make a nice blend with Daniel nervously, but excited, giggling.

[@bryanbijonowski1333]

Those Jameson bottles are spot on! Would love to find something like that around here in AZ...

[@kylemartinez61]

Started watching you guys about a month ago and you guys have made me really want to get into whisky more, love the channels. magnificent way you guys go about rules and just enjoying everything. When you guys talk about the smoothness of it are you referring to the taste of it, or how easy it goes down(alcohol burn)? Do you ever get use to it or learn to love it? Lol thanks for your time!

[@lionpeter1]

Hey guys, really appreciate your videos.. I was a very casual Johnny Walker Black "on rocks" type of a guy and after watching one of your episodes, it went from casual JWB "on rocks" to frequent single malt "neat".... Although this adventure did cost me a ton of money, but the first bottle that I got was Laphroaig 10 cask strength and I never looked back.... Peated whiskey is officially my favorite, but I am trying to train my pallet... I have a long way to go..... P.S Yesterday I went to a local liquor store, where I have never been before and they had a great scotch inventory, I spotted a 16 YO Longmorn the discontinued bottle on the shelf and bought it without blinking an eye, it was their last bottle.... Now I am debating to taste it or just preserve it for the next 10-15 years... What are your thoughts on that?

[@SarcastSempervirens]

the Distiller's Safe was the first Jameson I've tried, on a Whisky Fair.. bought two bottles right there and it's been my favorite Jameson since then. hi, Eric Schwab :D

[@BrandonColonel]

Will you guys review Jameson Black Barrel? I just recently got that one and really love it!

[@erinpage9068]

Blenders Dog is my Absolute favorite!

[@tblightningbolt8902]

i agree 100%

[@noelquiambao1447]

Great reviews on the Irish whiskey. That’s my go to drink and tequila lol. Jameson 12 n reserve is my fav so far. Can’t seem to find here in Vegas anymore, from what I’m told Jameson doesn’t make it anymore.

[@michaelmedrick6891]

Yes! Jameson Caskmates Stout!

[@karl_alan]

Just had a thought since you were talking about looking for flavors within a whiskey. One idea for a dry week would be having a day where you recreate whiskey flavors, like blending pear juice with cinnamon, coconut milk, and apricot, etc. I think you have done a hijinks riddled version on the other channel, but trying to truly achieve a non-alcoholic equivalent would be wonderous.

[@eriksonofander]

There's no Podunk Indiana, but is a Podunk in Vermont, New York, Michigan, and Connecticut.

[@montyhibdon3016]

another great show guys... DANIEL I will be getting a motorcycle here soon and would love to see a snapshot of what your riding....

[@moises2815]

So I’m new to this. I am totally a whiskey guy. I don’t want to be a whiskey guru... I just want to explore and find the best one for me. 🧡

[@josephpallas6265]

Daniel & Rex, if you had to order a Thorogood (one bourbon, one scotch, and one beer) which would you choose for each, and what what order would you drink them in?

[@daltonvanpelt8269]

Hello sir and hairless mooch. I went to Islay back in June. It took me thirty hours to get there between driving, flying and riding on the ferry. Anyway I’ll get to the point. I indulged I’m quite a few fancy whiskeys while I was on that glorious Island, unfortunately after taking my first tour at Kilchoman I couldn’t get the smell and taste of malting and fermenting barley out of my palate. It was so bad that every whiskey I smelled and tasted had that distinct sour smell and taste to it. It took quite a while for this to go away. Have either of you ever experienced this? How would I combat it?

[@tblightningbolt8902]

i love the Blenders dog.. awesome

[@ChadWinters]

Those would be very handy bottles for moving half bottles of stuff you keep for a long time into

[@davidlieux2558]

Great job... as always! Curious to know if you have ever tasted the difference in a whisky from a dry glass and a wet glass (from washing previous whisky out)?

[@ChrisinOSMS]

It would make sense if the distillers safe was new make, coopers crose was new wood, and blenders dog was a blended whiskey.

[@ginasoukey842]

Cooper's Croze is my favorite Jameson!

[@marztion7845]

I've been waiting on the Distiller's Safe to be released here in the states. Spoke with the distillers back in March and they should it should be here in the fall. You guy killed it on the review as usual. Do you guys have an affordable way to get overseas whiskey shipped here? Jameson had the "Deconstructed" series that I've wanted to track down, as well as Jameson Crested

[@CrimsonBloodRose]

Question for you guys. Why is oak the wood of choice for barrels? We use different woods like apple wood or hickory to smoke things, why not for barrels? P.S. Give the mooch more whiskey, he deserves it for his wiley ways.

[@Mose2305]

What, no props for a awesome 3-point shot into the trash can? Rex, whatever you got its really taken it out of you buddy. I suggest a smorgasbord of stick to your rib comfort food followed by enough wine and whisk(e)y to the kick ass on whatever uninvited guest you have. Cheers to returning back to normal!

[@WakeUpWolfgang]

Woot got a bonus today. Now what should I do with it? Buy Whiskey? Whiskey Somalia class? Or something else. I was debating about Demigod status but its not enough for 3 months.

[@billposton2878]

Question.. Would an Rhetoric Orphan Barrel be worth adding to collection?

[@ericprince1990]

Thanks for the videos y’all! Found you through the modern rogue. Picked up a bottle of Laprhoaig and really liked it but didn’t have the proper glassware. Then just Saturday bought a pair of Glencairn’s. Man what a difference! I absolutely love the smell and taste even more. Any recommendations as I start my journey into whisk(e)y? I don’t mind getting slapped around by anything so any rec is a good one

[@sycojuggernaut]

Where can I find this pack of three? I absolutely love Jameson and would love to find this. Cheers to you all... I just joined the whiskey tribe! Celebrating with a glass of Jameson black barrel :)

[@CptDankWaffles]

Great video, I really enjoyed it. I'm wanting to delve into some Japanese stuff. I have tried the Nikka pure malt black and I really enjoyed it. Do you have any recommendations?

[@jjb9739]

I've learned to trust Daniel's opinion on Irish whiskeys. Recently tried green spot. Freaking fantastic, well worth the extra cost here in bumble f@#k Missouri.

[@TheBigZapper]

Did Rex just quote Zapp Brannigan?

[@karl_alan]

I wish more distilleries did the 200ml bottles. Especially craft American. There are so many that due to rarity and small production are priced at 50-80/bottle, that I would love to try (and also to support my local businesses), but cannot justify that much for something that you cannot find any reviews or info on to know if it's gonna be worth it.

[@Cjinglaterra]

I’ve only had the Dog, but it’s awesome.

[@michaelgildersleeve5330]

I don't think there is a Podunk Indiana but I will tell you there is an Intercourse, Pennsylvania and a Blue Ball, Pennsylvania.

[@gordonbobby1]

Welcome back Rex.

[@derrickluckini8900]

Hi Daniel an Rex, I would like to say you're doing a really great job with the videos and I appreciate you guys. I would appreciate you more if you made a video about whiskey pairings with beer for boilermakers . I think k we could agree that being appreciated more would be great for you as well as me. I will help you with the first couple pairings. Jack Daniel's is great with New Castle and Jameson stout cask is great with Guinness. Please make this glorious video a reality. Thanks!

[@maxphillips8895]

Knowing what my base taste is.....this is why I always have Ashentosen American oak

[@thomasgregory8397]

shoulder definitely try hellyers road from tasmania, its really quite a good drop

[@rosscarballo3162]

Hey guys, got a question for y'all. So like Rex, I was sick last week, but because I have poor judgment, I still dipped into the whisk(e)y. As expected, my tasting experience was somewhat dulled, but oddly enough, certain flavors started jumping out more. For example, I finally started picking up dill in a rye and the brighter notes of Laphroaig. Now I can't really endorse drinking while you're sick, but since you've said to try whiskey "all the ways", do you think there's something to this or was it just a coincidence that I was sick as my palate was opening up?

[@RM-dq9ne]

What i dont get is how some ppl can describe stuff tasting like 'nail polish or wet grass'. How do you create those links? Are they just impressions on a person and therefore different for each and every person?

[@RM-dq9ne]

To continue.. i can get ppl tasting ginger bread or banana or vanilla.. but those are thing I've actually tasted.. and therefore much more tangible

[@iananderson-ley1847]

Oh I want that taster set

[@kingjonny963741]

Hey Rex and daniel Long time watcher first time commenter My 25th birthday is coming up and I was wondering if there was any recommendation for any quarter of a century whisky. I like subtly Smoky and hints of vanilla

[@BearWolf925]

Daniel, staying with jameson's caskmates, when i drink it I get a weird kind of swelling sensation in my throat, have you heard of this? No other whiskey does this.

[@kevinhamutov8778]

I wonder, why Daniel and Rex use bland Glencarin Glasses instead of Magnificent Bastard or a Somm and Mooch custom glasses......

[@nicojuarez8599]

Because theres would be 2 glasses less in the market, that's all

[@atb8660]

I like it how Rex said short bread biscuit first as if it was a Freudian Slip, it’s ok Rex embrace the truth

[@maxphillips8895]

Con. ....Oak on hand...and taste it often. That triple distillation just allows the “barrel” to be front and center....then I can note things that are not always barrel components ...

[@justinolsen1034]

[@zackzenron]
