Nobushi Japanese Whiskey Review

[@fancydan1498]

My mistake on uploading the wrong version of this video sans animation! Had the complete vid and didn't realize this was the rough draft until after it went live. Forgive me Pat Kane, you Magnificent Bastard - I've been flogged accordingly.

[@stvsueoka1]

As someone who is actually Japanese and Mexican, I agree. I am a very glorious combination. Thank you for the recognition. FINALLY SOMEONE GETS IT!

[@unclemikiesworld]

Is there a thing as Mexican style sushi?

[@stvsueoka1]

​@@unclemikiesworld yes and it's not great hahaha ... ceviche and mariscos on the other hand are fireeeeeee

[@tommyp2561]

Well boys, it was a good run but it looks like it’s time to go back to standing up while you drink. How many episodes did you shoot the same day before this one? 😆 Honestly though, great episode! Shenanigans and unpretentiousness are what makes this channel so awesome. ✈️

[@jimbokyzar8170]

There was Rex coming off as knowledgeable, professional, intelligent, well spoken and all it took was minor effort by Dan ( my hero ) to make Rex lose it and blow all the credibility he had painstakingly amassed. Cheers Dan, you magnificent bastard!

[@timshulepov]

Yeah, I have to say, it's kinda cool, if a bit unusual, to hear Rex talk business with such seriousness. I'd say it's hauntingly beautiful. 😁

[@johnny1873]

@@timshulepov I agree, I loved how serious (but still with a light touch, like the whisky ;) ) they both were throughout this video. Rex was really great here!

[@dichotomus3764]

I would just like to say that the close up shots of the bottle are super cool and very much appreciated.

[@noahgarber]

No MB animation? *sigh* …at least we got an enthusiastic announcing on the name of the donator.

[@ericnix5034]

The insight on how you guys met is awesome!!!

[@brettAnichols]

6:41 They are too shy to outright tell their meeting story, but Daniel gives it away with his actions: back in the age of Middle Earth, Daniel found himself alone in his hobbit village. The last he remembered, someone asked him if older whisky is better...a few weeks into his answer, there wasn't a living thing for thousands of miles. So, desperate for social interaction, he wrote a message "FREE WHISKEY" on a pice of paper. He constructed a paper airplane that, when launched, traveled through time and space and summoned the Mooch Lord in the realm of Moochstonia. The rest is well documented on their channel.

[@fauxfibfaux]

Drunk at 11? Somebody needs a dry week😂😂😂😂. Awesome comment

[@saintsfan39475]

@Brett Nichols, Excellent my good man! Well done and bravo! I think I'd buy your book of the Histories of the Whiskey Tribe.

[@gyangearon8729]

OMG ROFL

[@oscarmakavelli]

You guys need more Episodes on the Couch. Awesome Session of Shenanigans!

[@cody_t]

Please bring back the constant 2-shot. It’s best to see them both at the same time! Thanks!

[@unclemikiesworld]

This sounds like a great addition for a list episode for whiskeys that are entry-level to neat pours

[@unclemikiesworld]

I will never win a grammar Rodeo

[@WhiskyLoversSociety]

I love how you had to dig deep to find something nice to say about it. Love the background. Cheers from Belgium

[@johnny1873]

I REALLY liked this episode! (I don´t know if it is the sitting down or something else). But I think you had such a great balance today between talking about the whisky, having a great conversation (where you let each other speak etc., everything felt respectful and wery pleasant to watch and listen to). I hope you keep doing videos of this style! 5/5!

[@markpeer-lee2126]

🤔 Was that an editing error or is there no more MB animation?

[@IAmPeterCole]

It seems like it, there was even a tiny black screen flash like it was meant to be edited but wasntn

[@benjamineddy1392]

Yeah wtf guys get it together

[@codykendall2846]

Daniel: runnink (not running) Rex: *takes a sip of whisky*

[@gerritgreveling]

Quite surprised. Lovely whisky Ow something else. Did you guys tried the currach Irish yet? Breathtaking mindblowing. Please find one. I’m living on the other side of the world. So impossible to send a sample.

[@Wilvekio69]

Good morning fellow MB's

[@islaymmm]

Curious it's written 野伏（nobuse） rather than 野武士（nobushi）. You did a good job of pronouncing those place names and the name of the whisky btw, at least for an American

[@Groupal]

From now on, I feel like every video should end with "What the hell Dan!" !

[@anewlinii]

Really liking the sit down thing. You seem more comfortable.

[@robviousobviously5757]

GOOD MORNING YOU MB'S... 🥃

[@InfernalBanana]

Fancy Dan sleeping on the job with the MB animation. Just kidding; the animation probably wasn’t wanting to work/render properly, so he might have had to remove it last minute.

[@OrionDauphin]

Thank you for an amazing “Origin Story”. This has easily become one of my favorite episodes.

[@johnny1873]

Top 3 easily. The calm and respectful attitudes were a plus.

[@paladonis]

Should be Nobushi Review and Origin Story Review lol. Appreciate the share guys

[@kennethgoldie5257]

"'Burns night?' 'Close, it was St Pats'" As a Scotsman, I had to do a bit of a double take there

[@gyangearon8729]

Loving the new set. But how does Daniel reach those upper shelves? :)

[@Qub3rs]

That's what Rex is for...

[@kaylavanslette2118]

Nice! Have you guys done one for Shibui?

[@Ireallydonotunderstand]

Ain’t gonna lie…I almost skipped this review…didn’t know about the amazing story at the end…so glad I clicked anyway…cheers gents

[@chawks37ckt]

If Canada is Americas hat, is Mexico Rex’s beard?

[@Abby_Normal_1969]

I have limited experience with Japanese whiskey. Having said that, the words light and fruity so far always come to mind.

[@SwapBlogRU]

I've only tried two - Suntory and Tenjaku. Both were less rich in color than your typical scotch or Irish whiskey (probably because they add less caramel coloring to them). Suntory was just unpleasant and overpriced for a blend, Tenjaku was pretty nice, kind of sweet and bourbon-like.

[@jaychung6622]

They did not tighten any laws re: japanese whisky. What you’re referring to are voluntary guidelines made by a trade organization. Not all distillers in Japan belong to this group, there’s no requirement for distillers to join this group. & there’s still no real enforcement mechanism for group members who violate the guidelines.

[@elixwhitetail]

The notion is that distilleries will be kept in adherence to the guidelines by shame if they break them. It's in the industry's best interest to stick to an actual, meaningful definition of Japanese whisky. But you're completely correct that these are voluntary industry group guidelines and not law.

[@leeknowlton7303]

Sounds like u guys nailed it. Delicate, light ,softness, perfumy. Typical Japanese whisky. Can you point me to a Japanese whisky that slaps me in the face and stuns my palate?

[@Tinman3187]

Your comment about wanting Mexican/Japanese made me think. Has anyone tried mixing a Bourbon and a Blanco tequila? Anejo tequila is usually aged in used Bourbon barrels so I'm curious as to whether they actually tast good together.

[@michaelb1761]

Not mixed, but Dewars has a scotch aged in Ilegal Mezcal barrels that I think is very nice and interesting. I learned about it here.

[@person_suit3064]

Cool backstory. So...how did you two determine to open a distillery then?

[@-RONNIE]

Good video 🥃

[@j.o.p.9270]

There’s a restaurant named “taco sushi” and they sell Mexican food and sushi

[@IDLExHANDS]

I've only had a few Japanese "whiskeys." I'm not a fan of the delicate flavors and I like bold flavors that are blended well together. The whole purpose of whiskey is the journey of different smells and the flavor pallet of whiskey that makes me want to try and find my next favorite bottle.

[@stockicide]

I wonder if we would've gotten this thorough origin story if the boys had been standing the whole time. I like the more relaxed vibe of the seated episodes, personally.

[@prestonw3878]

The true purpose of the temporary seating revealed

[@AndrewHarnett]

So….you’re going to stick with the sitting thing? Or are you guys slowing getting closer to the ground? on one knee next? Then both knees? Then lying down?

[@seanmcgeehan6253]

they cut out the animation lol

[@wasabista1613]

Here in Japan I order most of my whiskies on Amazon. Can't do it in Canada. Can you do that in the States?

[@hotdog99100]

Not in the US...

[@unclemikiesworld]

How long did it take before you felt comfortable enough to refer to Daniel as a Hobbit? Was there some kind of defining moment that made it possible?

[@Repubcreek]

The When Rex Met Daniel Story: I'll have what he's having. I cant wait for the movie

[@hellastrafe]

tbh, latin american cuisine has a lot of japanese influence (thinking peru specifically)

[@jchristianwall]

As a Canadian all I'll say is we're bigger and we're on top :-)

[@bluecrab78]

Okinawa especially is so damn hot and humid, I wonder if just space availability that’s keeping them from making new charred oak “bourbon” instead of malt

[@KillCoMentalMusings]

So when I show up for Somm 1... soonish, I should only talk about how much I love Canadian whiskey then? :P

[@Grizzly_6623]

Fancy Dan is probably having a great morning

[@danf321]

I love the seating arrangement! Great Man Cave vibe👍.

[@surprisek3918]

You are being shadow banned. I cant find this video on my office computer but my phone, subbed, yes.

[@hotdog99100]

I have like issues. Most days I have to search for the Whiskey Vault. Does not show in the base feed, nor subscriptions, and I never get the email notification (yes the bell is on for all notifications).

[@jarheadcharlie2315]

Damnit Dan...

[@whatsgoodbro420]

Why no mb animation?

[@InfernalBanana]

My guess is it was glitching out when he tried adding it in and had to scrap it

[@ericnix5034]

4:27 Ahem; Rex that question was for the Pweopble🧐😂🤣😭

[@TehRealCanadarocker]

When they start talking about the bottle as strange, I'm sitting there going, "thats kind've normal for Japanese, kinda fits", then the thats kind of decision a Canadian would make....me as a Canadian, guess they got me.

[@GetofFenris1]

Very good whiskey

[@rossfudd256]

That is a cool bottle, WHAT are you talking about.

[@marcusmanchester1995]

Sushi Tacos...Tashi... Sushacos. Definitely Sushacos!

[@rossfudd256]

Rex "the kind of person that is likely to watch a whiskey review....they're nerdy enough". Daniel talking over, "Morons." Daniel just call the tribe a bunch of Morons.

[@Flameshredder]

We spend $100s on literal poison because it tastes and makes us feel good... I think "morons" is spot on ;) Cheers!

[@saintsfan39475]

Well, he's not wrong.

[@ryanschroeder560]

Ya I miss the old style

[@kaiser6755]

Hello whiskey tribe I just turned 21 and thanks to this channel I chose laphroaig 10 as my first liquor drink neat. I was more surprised how tame it was compared to seeing peoples reaction to it or even monkey shoulder. So I guess I didn’t do too bad.

[@michaelb1761]

Laphroaig wasn't my first whiskey, that was Wild Turkey 101 many years ago when it still had an age statement on the bottle, but it was my first scotch. I was also worried based on other people's reactions, but I loved it, all of the different and interesting flavors.

[@jeffklock5516]

Ok, that's it, we're gonna send all the Canadian geese down to Texas to teach y'all a lesson. :)

[@Kevin-xi6pj]

I wouldn't call this refreshing. When I first got this bottle it was hot. Very delicate, but hot. Just smelled this again and I can see some of your notes, but I struggle to see this as better than most suntory products (40$ nobushi v 18$ toki)...

[@mackal]

Get some bottles of Found North ;)

[@timothysweet6182]

Dan gotcha.

[@Acesian]

I think we need an official origin story video, I'd say use cuts of lord of the rings to portray the viuals

[@hotdog99100]

Daniel, a jump of 48 rows on the sheet from the last episode...

[@danielwhittington826]

I feel like I’ve said this a half dozen times now, but the sheet is not time accurate for when donations were received. We had multiple people entering things into the sheet at the same time. The way the bottles appear in the show is time accurate

[@mr.b6330]

Please go back to standing, you guys exude an energy unlike other channels. You take it down a notch by sitting. Cheers you MB’s.

[@coachster]

Regarding the bottle style, on behalf of Canadians, I was offended but not more than two seconds after I was laughing.

[@onggia850]

Daniel's beard is equivalent to Bob Ross' hair style, forever tied to their "brand" whether they like it or not. 😂

[@hexus9198]

I miss having my hand sanitizer smell like bourbon

[@wildtwindad]

Can we all raise a thumb to the reverse ship in a bottle, full of bottles, of whiskey A whiskey bottleception??

[@lockguy2652]

Hmmmmm.... Rex’s legs, nope 😂

[@saintsfan39475]

What the hell man, no MB animation!?! That's just not right!

[@silmarilcirth4630]

There is a secret language called "Kouya kodo", Ranger action in meaning. Though "Nobushi" seems to say this "Kouya Kodo" since "No" means wilderness "Bushi" means fighter. This means they are doing troll action to somebody. hmm. I know there are so many people doing this "kouya Kodo" around my living and some executives of some companies are paying their employees to do so. That is why I have to help people get marriage to be said. Then people got married have cause to support my side. That is what I've told.

[@sabu5322]

Not a fan of the sitting scene.... I like standing better...

[@ejbsee6081]

I am in a Kentucky bourbon frame of mind as I sip MGP as Toasted barrel Nulu

[@zanderwow]

Wait wait wait.....so you're telling me that you guys have jobs beyond just drinking whiskey?! 🤯

[@chancebaker6042]

No we like to say America is are pants, we have best whisky in the world we just keep it Canada and don't let it leave to the rest world. All for us

OH ya try it in coke things change

[@blackfrancis55]

I'm out. It was fun while it was fun.

[@hotdog99100]

May want to hang on. In the Friday shoot Daniel and Rex noted they are going back to the stand up. They went to this format striving to save Dan editing time. The couch shoot did not so they are going back, but with some different camera angle. So back-ish.

[@blackfrancis55]

@@hotdog99100 Sit, stand, I don't give a F. Could they just review something that was not an oddball, obscure whiskey for a change?!

[@jeffbayer569]

The video is going famously until the end there.. the cameraman is probably Canadian. 😆😆😆

[@brettAnichols]

Drink your lover's heart!

What the hell dan.

[@scottyharrison2709]

Looks like a medicine bottle

[@silmarilcirth4630]

If you got married by the pair build by someone and if you betray that person, you and your wife will tern into illicit affair and will loose job. This kind of bias is called "Hugiri" Law in Japanese. "Giri" means you are helped so you have to help him/her for return. So if you got "Kouya kodo" then you should help building marriage pairing for many.

[@YoJimBo851610]

[@lockguy2652]

Bad angle
