As an MB, we all know the "best" whiskey is the whiskey you like to drink, the way you like to drink it. So what's your favorite whiskey to mix with coke? Assuming you're a heathen dog that would dare do such a thing. 🙃

[@elliottanderson9507]

beam and coke

[@OlySandvich]

Evan BiB is about it for me

[@theyreMineralsMarie]

Elijah Craig, the cheap one.

[@AdamKeele]

To not use Coke. My favorite back when I drank more things mixed with whiskey: Dr. Dickel - George Dickel and Dr. Pepper. Forget whether I liked No.8 or No.12 more. But I’m also from Tullahoma 😎

[@Sagalarsson96]

I don't know if I can say anything bc this is the only version I have had, but Talisker 10 and coke is really good!

[@imjustbudder]

So, now that we’ve paired all the whiskeys of the rainbow with Coke. Distill the Cola.

[@RichardCranium321]

beat me to it. they need to get like 5 or 10 of the big fountain soda syrup bags

[@MrWhangdoodles]

Might become toxic though.

[@CrisHarrison]

Yes brew the Freken Coke! I second the motion! ❤ ~~ Cris H 😊

[@Davidjones-ox4yk]

My takeaway from every episode: “Oh, they don’t have an HR department.”

[@StayZero556]

My kind of company. 😂

[@mknewlan67]

I assumed Brianna was the head of HR.

[@nicholaslaning3010]

In the best way possible

[@Mazimo]

Excellent comment - I LOL'ed

[@BMLGaming]

Rex is clearly the head of HR

[@quantum_entangled_tardigrade]

The looks on Daniel's face during this episode is the perfect summation of what it's like to be the one sober person in a group of drunkies. Luckily, I've never been that one sober person. Cheers!

[@patrickhannon4217]

Same, Daniel is like "I hate you both, so, so much" 🤣🤣

[@duckcc73]

Love the moments where it’s like they are a doing a group lab but Daniel is the only one focused on the assignment 😂.

[@jaredliebergen1179]

"This is like if kindergarteners had a show" -Daniel

[@tt55k]

Have you seen Irish people try…

[@samfisher6606]

This is why I watch this channel. Not for the distillation experiments, not for the distillery tours, not for the vlogs where they make a new whisk(e)y, but for Brianna and Rex's drunken antics.

[@samsham8218]

INDEED.

[@WhiskeySanta]

I'm so glad they've kept "mouth it" around

[@jakebenoit1458]

@@WhiskeyTribe yasss!

[@ashrowan2143]

This really does prove that what you're looking for in a whiskey to drink by itself vs with a mix is two entirely different ball games.

[@christiankoch9123]

Briana's experience with whiskey continues to be same as mine - 100% genunine but also still learning.... thank you for including her in these episodes so we all feel part of the group!

[@tigga1231]

I love that so many they didn't like immediately assumed to be Jack Daniel's and low score, then when they actually had Jack it was A/B. Lol

[@ashrowan2143]

I think ultimately Jack Daniels doesn't have what most people want from a whiskey if your drinking it for the whiskey, but when you drink a whiskey and coke your not drinking it for an advanced whiskey your looking for something entirely different and Jack is a popular mix with coke for a reason

[@dumpeeplarfunny]

@@ashrowan2143 Have you tried the single barrel select? That one is actually worth sipping neat.

[@TARider2]

I sometimes wonder if this channel should be called "whiskey guy with the 2 drunks" lmao. But seriously u guys are awesome Briana's reactions are always hilarious

[@HardTimesFamilyPride]

Awesome to see y'all doing & promoting a dry week. I'll be five years sober in June :) Really enjoy these videos where you try different stuff and get really complex with the descriptions, kinda helps me continue to enjoy the world of whiskey without actually drinking it!

[@inguss27i]

Never been a fan of whiskey but always find the channel fun and informative. About choked on my coffee a couple of times from laughing. Thank you all.

[@calebevans3690]

I used to not be convinced that Brianna has ever been sober in her adult life. This episode has proved me wrong

[@ShanobyKin]

I personally loved Makers Mark with coke... made it into cherry coke... actually good imo. Personally not a fan of Makers Mark... but it was great to mix.

[@keharacek]

Got the same experience with that.. Took a bottle of Maker's which I didn't really enjoy drinking neat at home with me for a company party and loved it with coke 🥳

[@Scattaminkey]

I like making a Old Fashioned with Makers. My version is 2 ouces Makers, 1 tsp honey (mixed with finger to heat up and allow to dissolve faster), 2 shots Angostura bitters on ice. YUM

[@PaulWebsterLincoln]

Whick makers; just the standard straight bourbon / 45 %

[@ShanobyKin]

@@PaulWebsterLincoln yep standard 45%

[@Tisjustafleshwound]

Try that makers w/ some barqs/virgils (you want the "stingy" root beer). Goes so well w/ the mm!

[@jimneary2802]

Hammered Brianna is freaking hilarious

[@donaldwert7137]

I was perusing the back catalog when I first found this channel and saw one of Brianna's earliest appearances. I recall Rex asked her if she had to go to work later and she said '"No" then he asked if she was going to drive home. She said "Yes" and he said "No, you're not." Kept thinking about that all through this episode.

[@michaelleech6295]

My only complaint about the episode is the white background. It's so damn bright! You guys have created the most beautiful and perfect backdrop that's actually behind you and tangible. The white is so aggressive

[@dumpeeplarfunny]

It reminds me of the Irish folks trying things channel.

[@reecemilliner1578]

I actually just tried the Highland Park in my coke and it actually made it like a smokey vanilla coke experience. The blending's somehow really nice like it actually transformed the coke somehow.

[@venturous1v]

Briana is infectiously adorable and her and Rex give off such father/daughter vibes.

[@johnconnor2753]

Get off the hub

[@calebwarden5791]

Absolutely one of the best episode concepts y’all have ever done!! DO MORE

[@LORDUnLuCkY13]

First video I've seen of you guys and it was a great watch. You have really awesome energy. Liked!

[@aarongrefsrud7660]

as an excessive sugar fiend who's not ashamed to mix any and all whiskeys with coke i would love to see even more of these!

[@Matthewkey25]

"The best" video for me today. Man I enjoyed this one! Lots of laughs and great content. I even grabbed an Arbeg 10 and Coke to test it out. Thank you guys for the amazing content!!! The 3 of you (and Alex) are amazing! Greetings from South Africa. Thanks for making my evening worth while 😀

[@otaharmstrong6149]

Ardbeg 10 happens to be the only single malt scotch at my house today. I'm tempted to try this too.

[@WhiskeyTribe]

Greetings Matt! Thanks for the kind words and for being a bastard of the up most magnificence, cheers!

[@SwapBlogRU]

This is one of the most creative alcohol channels out there. Thank you guys for existing.

[@Wolfofthenightt]

I'm glad to see mouthing it is still the go to phrase. I've even been using it in my everyday vocabulary.

[@TheCrumbyBeard]

The chaos here is contagious. Currently considering some very daft video ideas. Love it! 😂

[@Sanspepins]

I guess Brianna didn't have lunch for this episode she was drunk after the second cup hahaha 🤣

[@captaintrips8651]

I love Briana so much! She always puts a smile on my face.

[@Joe_J-MT_Boy]

The Lagavulin 16 initial reaction almost put me on the floor...

[@Drake844221]

I'm actually very fond of Jameson with Coke. In particular, I like to pair Jameson with Mexican Coke. The one with cane sugar, rather than high fructose corn syrup. It's got a very smooth character to it, complimenting the coke while also rounding out the profile.

[@ernielopez272]

Once again, a great episode love I may not agree with all the flavor profiles but the true personalities between all three is great, but have to admit Brianna is so much fun. Love it, she’s crazy crazy, remind me of all the crazy ladies we drink with.! definitely keep her around. Love it. Love the crazy.

[@spencerbookman2523]

I drink my Jack and Coke with a lemon wedge squeezed in there. That elevates it surprisingly.

[@JDWindtPlaysGuitar]

I lost it at "this smells like 2x4s"

[@whiskeygamesnerdstuff789]

Always enjoy watching the videos

[@billywilliamsacou]

Honestly haven't laughed as hard as a KZbin vid in a while. 10/10

[@gfrank9772]

TX Blended and Coke is a perfect desert treat. It’s like a coke float and it’s glorious!

[@mamuka1977]

You guys are awesome!, Sincerely, every time I watch this type of video you makes me happy they are hilarious and fun. I hate rye in Coke. I do like peated whiskey but it has to be low or medium peat(Lum Reek , highland Park and so on) and 100% agree with you shude definitely enjoy whiskey just the way you want it and we all mix it sometimes.

[@andrews4321]

I'd be interested in seeing a comparison of whiskeys with different mixers. Common sodas like coke, sprite, ginger ale, Dr. Pepper.

[@azraelf.6287]

Yes. Like the drink matrix that Greg does on How to Drink. Put 4 spirits on one side, 4 mixers on the other. Compare the 16 drinks.

[@MegaWeagle]

That would be pretty cool!

[@wysestone]

Highland Park 12 and rootbeer or Pepsi is good

[@wysestone]

@@azraelf.6287 Just hopefully it doesn't almost put one of them in the hospital like one of the matrix's did to Greg

[@BeastOfTraal]

I Like Jack Daniels with root beer an, Rittenhouse Rye with Moxie. I haven't tried it but Green Spot would probably work with a ginger beer.

[@chadscatharsis3287]

okay I have to start with , I don't drink. BUT I don't watch for the booze. I watch y'all because no matter what you will CRACK ME UP!!! I'm guaranteed to end with a smile on my face!! Keep the GREAT videos coming and I'll keep watching and hitting that thumbs up!!

[@Alex-zi1nb]

im so glad you guys wrangled a whiskey goblin. i would be lost without dear brianna

[@DivusNicholas]

“Call it Salisbury steak and put it on F” -Daniel 😂😂

[@JesseCohen]

God what a revelation this episode was! I also am a smoky scotch fan, and it never even occurred to me to try it in coke! 😮 Perhaps because I’ve been more of a rum&coke person in the past anyway. Fortunately I have had access to Highland Park at a discount, but my go to smoked scotch from work is called Finlaggan, which I often refer to as “half the smoke, for half the price” when compared to Lephroig 10, another shelf staple. I also have some barrel proof bourbon with a peach brandy barrel finish on it that could prove interesting… Thanks for the inspiration, and the giggles. All three of you are gems!

[@tt55k]

I somehow missed this episode , did you try the highland and coke ?

[@JesseCohen]

@@tt55k Not as yet, but not for lack of trying. HP’s signature expression is missing from my local shelves. I’m guessing import delays of some kind. So I’ve added it to the “Pending” list, which is fine. I’m nothing if not patient. The Finlaggan worked ok, though a tad bit saline if I’m being picky. It wasn’t revelatory. And the barrel proof Broken Barrel:Peach Brandy bourbon expression landed a little better, but it’s almost gone, so I won’t be doing that on the regular. I’ll try and come back here with a update, should the Highland Park come my way in the not-to-distant-future.

[@rschmid6652]

This was a good laugh. Thank you, I needed that.

[@hbh2470]

I love the channel . Too bad that I can't get most of what is shown on here. Up here in Manitoba Canada, we are limited to what the LC has. Mostly Canadian whiskeys... I have purchased some online, but the shipping costs are crazy. I drink my whiskeys with ginger ale because I find that coke / pepsi gives me heart burn ...

[@mhsbosco]

my side hurts from laughing with/at briana, this is too good

[@DemonbreedGaming]

Highland park 12 makes my favorite old fashioned as well. Just a brilliant mixer or by itself.

[@coltonstokes4322]

This video inspired me to try out a new variation on an Old Fashioned that turned out great. It’s 2oz Old-Grandad BiB (peanut and caramel forward bourbon), 2 dashes of angostura bitters, 1 oz of Coke, and an orange twist. Try it out! Got that classic peanuts-and-coke vibe but not too sweet (didn’t add any extra sugar)

[@StinkyPete69]

WT 101 is my go to whiskey coke. Usually do doubles just to have the sweetness up front but that extra bite at the end.

[@mike06422]

Once I brought a bottle over to a friends house as an upgrade from our regular Jack and Coke…. It was Gentleman Jack and found that union to be amazing…

[@benzles8492]

Agreed, All the good points of normal jacks and coke but def MUCH better. And worth the extra $$ without breaking the bank too.

[@OkellaWood]

Rex: You've seen those movies on the internet? Daniel: No! HAHHHAHAHAA

[@TheDudeOnTheDrums]

There's some type of note here. 10/10 best review. Absolutely glorious video, I cried laughing with the final review.

[@bmac9936]

Now I have an excuse to try all my whiskeys with Coke, especially the Islays. Not sure if I can finish by dry week, so I may have to start over in March.

[@jalratke]

Love it! So entertaining. Daniel was somewhere else tho. That said Rex and drunk intern (lmao) are like Laurel and Hardy.. Take it on the road kids.

[@pokerman9108]

these guys are still going... haven't watched them in a grip. good stuff

[@mitchelhulse8671]

The whoa burp was amazing! 10/10! 😂😂

[@LondonWater]

Def. One of my favorite YT channels🥩

[@miketoopitsin9449]

Omg this was awesomely hilarious. Briana’s look at 13:16 told me she was definitely ready to mouth it. Thank goodness for no HR dept 🤣🤣🤣

[@jamesw6899]

I dunno…she was pulling her hair back in the previous one 😂

[@SardonicDog]

Excellent video. Loved the naming conventions. Now do the same with 7Up.

[@CybrSlydr]

This is Brianna and Rex's world, Daniel is just living in it.

[@chad53773]

So I am not a Highland Park fan...at least not neat, or on the rocks. Like at all. But I absolutely love it in cocktails for some reason. I can totally see it being good with Coke.

[@dryii]

Ohh, happy to say that I've both the Highland Park and Peat Monster. I'll have to give them a try.

[@ladylilithparker]

20:51 You cannot take this girl anywhere... without risking snorting your drink through your nose. Banana's the best!

[@fanficmistress]

My favorite is Knob Creek Smoked Maple and Coke. It is delicious!

[@tristiantriana]

I love wheat whiskey and Dr. Pepper, so I mix Makers and Dr. Pepper whenever I go out and feel like a cocktail instead of a neat drink

[@jszabolcs]

another brilliant and hilarious episode! loved Briana’s singing, she has great voice and delivery!

You all are having WAY TOO MUCH FUN. :)

[@charlesrense5199]

For a few years Coke was doing a Georgia Peach flavor in glass bottles. That stuff mixed AMAZINGLY well with whiskey! But covid seemed to have killed it. You can get a similar effect from coke and peach flavored whiskey, but then you don't get to try it with your favorite whiskey.

Highland Park 12 Year Viking Honour is my daily driver, and is in my top 10 list for sure. I have never tried it with coke, but i will now. I do want to note that my coke might be different than yours. Did your coke have real sugar or High-fructose corn syrup? In my country coke uses only real sugar, so the taste profile might be different.

[@Sniperboy5551]

High fructose corn syrup here in the US.

[@Gremalkin1979]

@@Sniperboy5551 Yea, suspected as much. I have tasted an american coke, you guys are missing out.

[@robertwright5942]

Double check your ingredients, they will use whatever is cheapest in the area, and recently corn syrup has become cheapest in many markets causing Coke to change their mixes without announcing it.

[@Gremalkin1979]

@@robertwright5942 The chances of that is almost zero here in sweden. The food branch of the goverment here do not like corn syrup. I think there are like 10 or 15 items being sold over here. Most are imported, like sweet baby ray bbq.

This was Briana’s best episode. She has a better palette than the sommelier and the mooch combined.

Just a thought, it would be cool if somehow in small print you kept what they are trying off in the corner maybe? I know you show beforehand but I forget sometimes, especially when im drinking.

[@theavereviewer7081]

Everything at 19:17 broke me 🤣🤣

[@Joe_J-MT_Boy]

A "Smokey Coke"... damn! That sounds good! I wouldn't use an expensive Scotch to build it, but this sounds like a cocktail that works. I'm definitely a scotch/whiskey "neat" kinda guy, but every once in awhile I'll tip over for an actual cocktail... like a really good whiskey sour, for example. This one is my next foray into the cocktail arena. Ardbeg + Coke... yeah, baby! Yeah! Note: Briana sounds like she's on her 3rd review segment of the day.

[@stevetech5150]

daniel, you have got to lighten up sometimes bro. this was a really fun vid to watch...its a "whiskey channel". this is what i expect to see. fun, mixed with well...fun. you have enough on the point material out there to easily let it fly like this one and still be completely legit. that sounds gay...but you get the point. you guys after watching prob 5+ years, still my fave channel.
