Donation Day! Midleton Barry Crockett, Forty Creek, Leopold Bros, Flóki Icelandic, The Peat Monster

[@olliewhite2844]

I agree!

[@vincecangelosi9403]

YES!!!

[@AskAScreenwriter]

I second this! How can we get (virtually) the same whiskey experience as some pricey whiskeys at a fraction of the cost?

[@marshalldyck7085]

I agree with this as well. More blends!

Good to see I may speak for the Tribe after all lol.

Fun fact about Iceland. About less then 1,4% of the island is covered by forest and most of the trees are short. There is a local joke "what do you do, if get lost in the woods? you stand up"

[@harrisontracy7674]

We should see some blending next week. Rex vs Daniel. Whoever can get closest to the original whiskey gets another week named after them. Maybe Sparkle-Master Chad is the unbiased judge? This is Daniel's opportunity to cut Rex month down to one week. This is Rex's opportunity to gain a week back and extend Rex month into the first week of November

[@christinavanness7697]

[@kvmedman6217]

Addicted viewer, first time commenting. A few ideas for Tribe week: 1. Best scotches for making a Rusty Nail. 2. Most expensive whiskeys that are still worth the price without any hesitation whatsoever. (You're welcome, Rex!) 3. Poor Man's Pappy, McCallen M, Redbreast 32, Ardbeg Dark Cove, or Laphroig Lore

[@bamboospout]

Can we have an episode comparing independent bottlers' versions versus original distiller's versions of certain age statements and compare (like an original longmorn 16 vs a Gordon&Macphail longmorn 14)? Or how different distillers in the same line up of a bottler compare with each other (Like two different old particulars that are both 21 yrs)? I'm curious to hear your thoughts on how big a difference independent bottlers make compared to original distillers, and whether the distiller makes a bigger difference or the bottler.

[@DanGodofThunder]

How about a week of suffering? Tuesday a whiskey Daniel hates. Wednesday a whiskey Rex hates. Thursday a whiskey they both hate. Having discovered I dislike severely peated whiskey such as Laprhoaig, I find that knowing what you hate and why is a part of knowing what you like and why. Liking everything is hard to differentiate from having no standards.

[@joeprestera2239]

You hate Laphroaig?! I sense a disturbance in the force...

[@DanGodofThunder]

@@joeprestera2239 I can't navigate past the smoke. It tastes like someone scraped a grill off after a BBQ, then made alcohol out of that. Most of the people I know who like Laphroaig smoke or have smoked and can work through it. I never have and have no interest in it

[@joeprestera2239]

@@DanGodofThunder I can understand that. I have never smoked before but I love the stuff. If I haven't had it in a while the first sip is powerful but I can get through it pretty quickly and find the other flavors.

[@DanGodofThunder]

@@joeprestera2239 Not gonna shit on someone for liking it. But it tastes like licking a grill to me. Of course to others all alcohol neat tastes like drinking fire, and we can agree that isn't true. I think knowing what you like and what you dislike is the important part, not what you particularly enjoy. My explanation is more complex than "it tastes gross and nasty".

[@joeprestera2239]

@@DanGodofThunder I hope you don't think I'm feeling attacked. Far from it, I love having discussions with people that have different options than me.

Tried Barry Crockett Legacy at the Midleton Distillery...still one of my favorite whiskeys

[@nikkorf64]

To clarify the climate question, brought up in the Forty Creek Confederation Oak discussion, since I live about 20 minutes from Forty Creek... Comparing Grimsby Ontario, to let's say Edinburgh Scotland... The highs in summer are 3 to 5 degrees higher approx, and the lows are 3 to 5 degrees lower approx in winter, in Celsius that is. Tried Forty Creek Confederation Oak on the distillery tour, it's good stuff, as sweet and friendly as us Canadian folk. ;-)

Glad to see the icelandic young malt, I'm going to see their distillery this winter.

[@somniator3205]

Fun Fact about the trees in Iceland. While there are VERY few trees in Iceland, the country has a different source of wood: Due to some weird ocean currents, trees that fall of cliffs in siberia get washed onto the shores of Iceland. This source has been used by early settlers for houses and vikings for ships and this "tree fountain" is still active.

[@jimdgrousedogs]

Talisker Storm, Talisker Dark Storm, Talisker 10 comparison. I've tried them and am curious is the tribe feels the 10 is worth the extra cost over the Storm. Besides who can turn down Talisker?

[@Saito369]

Talisker 18yr is amazing.

[@Lewclark123]

The dark storm is my fave

[@geoffgaebe8354]

The boys have done a Talisker 10/Storm comparison (if memory serves). I was pleasantly surprised to find that I wasn't alone in the opinion that the Storm is (of the two whiskies) the preferred dram... which isn't to say that I'd turn down the Talisker 10. Haven't tried the Dark Storm as of yet.

[@thatsgoodgb]

Lets make them Talisker 18, 25, Dark storm ahaha it's Rex Month after all

[@neilcooke980]

Opening new scotch bottles, unwrapping the foil and taking the cork out always gives me the same kind of feeling that I got when I was a kid opening hockey or baseball card packs. Apart from tasting scotch it's kinda the best part. I wonder if would still seem the same if I opened as many bottles as Daniel.

[@JaysonBucy]

I mean ostensibly I'm opposed to the "dark mooch", but I would love to see a comparison of Octomore 6.x/7.x/8.x

[@KillCoMentalMusings]

I am glad this came up (seriously have no idea where Rex will end up with this) and I had a thought as a long time viewer. I admit I am what is likely a whiskey noob, I have many bottles of whiskey but I haven't even gotten to try all of them yet HOWEVER I did enjoy the whiskey advent calendar from last year. I have comfortable settled into drinking Johnnie Walker Black as my usual drink of choice, I know, how very basic some of you might be thinking. My thought stems from a comment I heard just yesterday while re-watching Whiskey Vault Ep 141 - 6:00min mark. Would you be able to sample a number of JW types - Red, Black, Double Black, Green, Gold, Platinum, Blue - whatever you can get your hands on to sample, compare AND as it seems to be just a good idea. Mix them all together to see what happens. Somm is glad to sample and compare, Mooch is happy to drink all the types and blend at the end. I seek balance in all things.

[@CLardPercussion]

A true Grey Triber. Balance in all. I totally dig your idea, it would be cool to see a comparison of all (or as many) JW varieties available.

[@mr.scully8661]

I would like to see that i do like JW only cause its so smooth. Wondering how smooth it would be with them all mixed hmmmm. I am also new, i have seen the Daniel make mixes that are super close.

[@waynecostanza2280]

[@TheDestructor217]

Hi, I'm a very long time viewer and first time commenter, I had an idea for a video, a list of "One-Note" whisk(e)ys. I struggle to identify some notes in my whiskeys so to sharpen up my palette I thought you could do a video on whiskeys that really heavily showcase a single characteristic flavour without too much muddling from other flavours. So when you say you get Oloroso Sherry, or Iodine, we could have whiskeys that teach us what those flavours are, rather than buying expensive wine or licking a band-aid. Bonus is that the tribe get excuses to buy more whiskey and we all develop our tasting skills. You're the "experts" so I defer to your good judgement on the viability of this idea. Cheers, Will

Master Mooch, pls heed my plea, for I have an idea. After watching Daniel's, sorry Danny's week, he made it quite clear that Laphroaig lore takes a very special place in his pretty little heart. I propose that in one of the future episodes, the pair of you play a drinking game (SHOTS!!! MAHAHAHA), with a bottle of laphroaig lore. Potential game ideas include 'Never have I ever' or 'Whiskey Pong'. Thank you Master, for that is all. FOR THE PEOPLE!!!!!

[@shuboy05]

Techincally Barry Crockett retired a few years ago but I believe he still shows up at the distillery to select the whiskey going into the Legacy (which is a yearly limited edition). The whiskey are all ex-bourbon casks that were finished for a period in new oak.

[@michaelmcloughlin1747]

I have a generic distilled spirits question. When drinking Cognac or other brandy the custom always seems to have been to warm the liquor by holding the snifter in your hand to transfer the maximum amount of heat to the glass to encourage evaporation I would guess to intensify the nose of your drink. Doesn't it follow that the same would apply to whiskey?

The second thing I would like to have explained is where all the flavor notes come from, why those flavors get into the whiskey, and how they get into the whiskey. Basically, I want you to science the shit out of it for me. I love it when Daniel touches on the science of whiskey, but I would like it all kind of put together in one place.
