Donation Day! Old Potrero + Kinnickinnic + Trailer Park Boys + Nikka Yoichi Woody & Vanillic

[@foolishjonny]

Thanks Rex for giving the boys a chance. Darling Dan just doesn't get it. But worst case Ontario I'll just go out and get me some sassy dirty liqour.

[@JefferyEPetrone]

The best part of waking up is donation day in the cup.

[@kghostone]

Jeffery E Petrone ... so... day drinking?

[@duanebrimhall2556]

It's day somewhere in the world...

[@JefferyEPetrone]

kghostone or another cup of Folger's...

[@jordanpike5816]

Or Folgers with a shot of whiskey

[@TheWYman31]

Thanks to you both, I have successfully converted my dad from a rum and coke guy, to a whisk(e)y neat guy. I started with the Balvenie 14 Caribbean Cask, then onto the Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban, after was Glenfiddich 12, and then I convinced him to try the Laphroaig 10 at our local whisk(e)y bar and he loved it so much we had to stop on the way home to pick up a bottle. Thanks to you both, I can now sit on the patio, smoke a cigar, and enjoy just about any whisk(e)y with my dad. Cheers!

[@TheWYman31]

Update: I’m now convinced my dad loved whiskey all along, and the reason why he was so open to trying the whiskeys, was that I was buying them. I got mooched.

[@huntinggamer100]

You guys should make an Infinity barrel

[@lippy22]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYqtZoGon9-grLs. They did, and it was glorious.

[@thomaslinden7598]

yes REX you are sprouting the grain(starting the growing posses) then heating them with peat or wood to stop the growing process

[@nathanhuey3734]

I love that Rex flinched and instinctually pulled his glass away when Daniel poured the Bourbon Cream.

[@BeerNye]

Yeah, that Old Portrero was.....mine. I....left it there. Yes, I definitely did that. /looks around nervously //sweats profusely

[@shilohstore6086]

You mean....us yeah yeah us....yeah that's it I saw you leave it there that is TOTALLY what happened 😂

[@eltonbillings4443]

The Old Potrero I like because it's different. I had assumed the leather note was from the toasted barrels.

[@ih8people544]

Malting, heat it up and get it moist. So malting is the foreplay of brewing?

[@xantose_]

Wow, your channel has grown so much over the past year!

[@violentmeadow]

I am about a month late for a haircut, but looking at REX these days makes me feel better about myself. The head shaving can't come too soon for the mooch

[@ericschwab409]

Rick C. #RexBald!

[@Dafoodmaster]

malting produces sugar in the grain, so it's definitely gonna affect the flavour... malting grains that are traditionally not malted for whisky production is a really cool thing that should be explored more.

[@ericschwab409]

Potrero is either a town in California, landform or a horse breaker... en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potrero en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potrero_(landform)

[@johnmichaeljose5048]

Im new to whiskey and the first that i bought was monkey shoulder and it was friendly.i prefer it with a drop of water which brings out the flavor for me.then i decide to go for an islay.im looking originally for laphroig but lucky enough i stumbled upon ardbeg 10.i buy it and i thinknit was great,it was savory for me.there is no turning backni think

[@drax14QC]

Trailer park Boys whisky... deeeecent!!

[@karl_alan]

Did that first one, the red hot, have the typical pickle or licorice notes, or just the spices?

[@funandgames7847]

I can’t believe you said KK right people that live here can’t say it great job. As you can see we just say KK lol. Again love the channel boys cheers.

[@jasonsauceda7501]

Are there any distilleries that use malted corn?

[@mattpoynter5243]

I would love to see you try the Balvenie 12 Yr single barrel, like Ralfy I find it one of the most complex highland/speyside whisy's around and a personal favorite just this side of Bruichladdich 16.

[@Furry_Viking]

Do we need an unknown Bastard ceremony? lol

[@kc5sdy]

Just ran across a good dad joke... What does the Titanic and The Sixth Sense have in common? Icy dead people.

[@samuelkallis4943]

Favorite thing to do with these videos is drink the whisk(e)y that they are, so I have a unopened bottle of Ardbeg Grooves sitting on the shelf screaming drink me. Yet, out of principal I cannot. Do the review you magnificent bastards!

[@ericschwab409]

Lol! To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering. He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you. He who has a why to live can bear almost any how.

[@foodquig]

There ain't nothin' better than donated whisky...

[@ericschwab409]

If I had a pet black bear, I’d name him Ol’ Potrero.....yep!

[@acelee632]

hey guys! glad you finally got around to the Yoichi, it's probably the best of the 3. (Other two are Sherry & Sweet / Peaty & Salty). BTW the 12Y is discontinued, so the one I sent is NAS.

[@rockthebuilder]

I appologize if this is a super lame question, but why is Rex referred to as 'The Mooch'? Im sure its been asked before but I can't seem to find the answer anywhere even after a couple google searches.

[@WhiskeyVault]

It's his roll in the vault. The guy who knows nothing about whisky but shows up to drink for free.

[@rockthebuilder]

@@WhiskeyVault Thanks, that makes sense now. (except he seems pretty bright) That is hilarious!

[@elh93]

Have you ever had Two James Catcher's Rye?

[@the-chillian]

Rex: Daniel was just being confusing. A malted grain is a grain that has been allowed to germinate, the beginning of sprouting. Growth is then halted by drying it in warm air. This converts the grain's starches to sugars, which can then be fermented. What Daniel did was to try and explain the physical steps in the process without explaining why they're necessary, or much of anything at all very clearly.

[@michaellamsscienceteacher7277]

Malting is not done to make sugars it's fine to get the grain to make the enzymes that can convert starch to sugar. Those enzymes convert starch to see during the mash. Drying stupid the grain from using up the sugars to grow.

[@marztion7845]

@whiskeyvault you all mentioned awhile back about a store in the area that does the occasional BOGO Free on bottles. Any chance to get the name of the store and how often they do it?

[@TheOriginalRaster]

Fascinating! I feel like I learned something today... Thanks!

[@jonclark2234]

4:32 is this the first time Daniel has ever poured for himself before he poured Rex a glass?

[@tyalan2579]

TPB Wiskey?! Decent!!!

[@samthegreatgenius]

I think it would really nice of you guys to offer a cigar pairing with each review for my benefit only. Make it clear that it is only for me.

[@midnight_melancholy]

Wish i could see that magnificent vault myself!

[@derickzellar6632]

This isn't the first time you have gotten the green leather note from a rye. At least the way you described the nose of the j Carver rye you gave the same green note. Just that it was more prominent in the j Carver.

[@coreyjames5568]

Hey gents could you review Cù Bòcan perhaps.

[@FightForSound]

Tyrannosaurus REX is the vision I got when REX brought up slap boxing... he did it with little short arm swipes... lol

[@ericschwab409]

Rex Codename: “Stubby Arms”

[@crow468]

Red Hots/Hot Tamales is my least favorite note in Bourbons/Ryes. As opposed to cinnamon bark note, which is one of my favorite. Go figure.

[@kevinhamutov8778]

Brandon Lee artificial sweeteners cinnamon compared to a natural cinnamon. I don't blame you. I'd prefer a natural cinnamon taste over a sweet artificial flavor

[@jonstothfang3800]

Cinnamon is one of those flavors where the artificial/candy version is so distinctly different from the actual flavor, like grape or banana (although I am aware of the extinct strain of bananas that the candy flavor was based off of)

[@ericschwab409]

Cavendish.....most common industrial banana strain currently in production

[@wildlifewhiskey3636]

If don’t believe y’all have but would love to hear what y’all have to say about Jameson stout.

[@dwighthopkins6566]

That was my donation! Not really. But if Rex and mooch whiskey I can mooch magnificence!

[@Mountain.man85]

You two are so damn entertaining! Keep it up guys!

[@NCNF]

Hay guys was wondering, how much does your dietary habits affect the smell and taste of the whiskey?

[@treythompson1879]

What is that hat in the corner? Is it by chance a Baylor hat? Sic ‘em Bears!

[@mikekollross8810]

Kinnikinnick is a Native American and First Nations herbal smoking mixture, made from a traditional combination of leaves or barks. Recipes for the mixture vary, as do the uses, from social, to spiritual to medicinal. -from Wikipedia. I know the term from fur trade readings as a plant whose toasted root makes a good coffee substitute.

[@alexpapa7524]

Im not going to word my question well I hope you can understand what im trying to ask. Based on Canadian pricing Bowmore 12 $60 Laphraig 10 $85.00 Talisker 10 $105 What gives? Is it quality? Is it the ability to charge less from distillary? How can an older whisky be so much cheaper than a younger one?

[@ericschwab409]

Yes. Bowmore may indeed be the older product, but it is not as interesting or desirable a whisky as Laphroaig or Talisker (in my humble opinion). As a result, I believe, Bowmore is priced much lower. I like all three of these whiskies, but two of them are far superior in their flavor and finish. Interestingly, the parent company of Bowmore, Beam Suntory, owns both Bowmore and Laphroaig. Bowmore was formerly part of the Glasgow-based Morrison Bowmore group which included Bowmore, Auchentoshan, Glen Garioch and McClellands. Beam Suntory had a market share of about 6% in 2016 according to Forbes. Talisker and Lagavulin, as well as many other great distilleries, are part of the ginormous Diageo conglomerate which has a market share of about 36% and produces one-third of all Scotch whisky. Their marketing reach is strong and widely felt because of the top quality of their products and the strength of their corporate portfolio. www.forbes.com/sites/felipeschrieberg/2016/09/28/the-4-companies-behind-34-of-all-scotch-whisky-production/

[@dwigtschrude]

Watching this over a year later I have to wonder, are they going to circle back, or did Daniel drink it all?

[@YoJimBo851610]

i usually get plum notes with Japanese Whiskies .

[@thomaselmer9728]

Thank you's should go to the "Unknown Bastard".

[@Sixx28]

A little trivia for you all: Cabernet Sauvignon is a hybrid between Cabernet Franc Grape and Sauvignon Blanc Grape.

[@graemeyoung5280]

I have always liked donation day until today. You really trashed all Canadian whisky and I would definitely not agree. Old Liquormans could in fact be the worst spirit made in Canada, as it does suck!!!! LMAO 😂 But there are some sublime single malts too!! Glenora distillery has several classic examples, that really would put several loved scotches to the test, and I would render to think most bourbons too!! I am a huge fan of the channel, but I am also a sensitive Canadian.

[@Golferguy1]

I saw that there is a Israeli single malt whiskey called Milk and Honey. Has anyone tried it yet?

[@ericschwab409]

Where is Wes? The Whiskey Cardinal?

[@ericschwab409]

We hasn’t been around for a long time.....are we no longer blessed? OMG!

[@bobcat224]

Rex still has Zero idea what malting is. You germinate the grain, then dry it to stop the germination. but don't take my word for it: Malt is germinated cereal grains that have been dried in a process known as "malting". The grains are made to germinate by soaking in water, and are then halted from germinating further by drying with hot air. (Wikipedia)

[@James-hn7vx]

A little late to this comment, but you guys are so hard on Canadian Whiskey! What's the deal?!

[@leeknowlton7303]

They find most of it one note friendly. Nothing challenging to explore after first sip.

[@kevinhamutov8778]

Should be working but this is important to watch in the name of science!

[@shootingstar3800]

All wshiskey taste the game

[@TheNecrotas]

hey guys, my name is david i am 27 years old and i am from austria! i learned about whisky from your videos and bought a bottle of monkey shoulder. i loved it and killed the bottle in one week (i dont know if that is good :) ) can you give me a good bourbon and a good rye for me to try some drifferent stuff? thanks for your videos and keep going!

[@LeatherDaddy97]

Rex's hair in this one makes him look like a budget davy crockett

[@andreylesko]

The Som is correct for once :)

[@paulsoldner3822]

got to work slowly to regain flexibility Rex! A master Mooch such as you needs to be more flexible to increase your mooching range of motion.

[@ericschwab409]

It’s too late......once you go stiff the party music changes and you gotta dance different.

[@effingosprey9434]

Forget about the Irish whiskey video again?

[@frusciantenc]

I think they ran out of a lot of the ones they wanted to review.

[@ericschwab409]

And they sent to Ireland for more.....by snail mail on a slow boat!

[@christinavanness7697]

[@ericschwab409]

She’s the high priestess, so you probably got a hex on your ass now Petrone! Lol

[@ericschwab409]

Christina, I think you should turn Petrone into a toad or something! Lol!

[@bobtheboozer558]

how off he rails did the Kinnickinnic go to have the guys holding the bottles, to not having any bottles, to them going to get the bottles? That took far more editing than it probably should have

[@Tsudoshi09]

I want to see someone put a whiskey in rum barrels

[@wolfgangBuonarotti]

Thats been done. Balvenie 14 Caribbean Cask, Pike Creek 10 Rum Cask Finish, many others as well im sure. I love different finish types, but its one of the less-discussed variables in whiskey, ive noticed.

[@abdokhoury2114]

What's with the cork sound?

[@ericschwab409]

It a cork being pulled and is used to hide less than polite language. It’s for your protection.

[@fenxis]

That's not a knife, this is a knife: Crocodile Dundee

[@caelebcandon2254]

Malting = enzymes, mashing = fermentable sugars.

[@nkervmedia]

Where’s Rex’s necklace though?

Kinnickinnic distillery is in Milwaukee, WISCONSIN. Which is annoying because I'm from Michigan which is the great lake state. I feel like they are mooching the great lakes name for publicity!

Not a very flexible person Rex I would think that marinating and all that whiskey you would be nice and tender
