** What's with the necklaces?
Rex is a whiskey mooch. His necklace is a manifestation of pure glory - forged from the irradiated bones of eagles and wolves. Also a tube sock.
See the origin story here: goo.gl/JMc2Hr
Daniel is a whiskey sommelier. His necklace is a token of his sommelier level, and he trains whiskey sommeliers at The Whisk(e)y Marketing School in Austin Texas.
**A Whisk(e)y school?
Yup. Here are a few things we believe.
** You don’t have to be a snob to appreciate and love great whiskey.
Whisky and Whiskey (it depends on where it’s from) have been an important part of cultures around the world from time immemorial. Whiskey is a part of the very fabric of Western society, and in most places, is as common and accessible as beer.
Like Jazz and wine, snobs have predictably hijacked whiskey appreciation, spoiling our natural, common connection with it and creating a false dichotomy of “good whiskey” and “bad whiskey.”
It’s time to break through the emotional bias with facts and science. That’s what this school is about.
** The only valid definition of “good” whiskey is “whiskey you like to drink.”
Learning how to share your love of whiskey in a way that connects people to the history and the story has more to do with public speaking and storytelling than it does with facts and tests.
The best way to learn about whiskey and share that love is to drink whiskey and talk about it with friends. Study the history, find the stories, and discover the culture and the methods that have been developed over hundreds of years. That’s what you’ll do when you attend The Whisk(e)y Marketing School.
** You don’t need a marketing degree to learn how to share your love of whiskey with the world.
There's an old saying, "In business, it's not what you know... It's who you know."
Regardless the industry you're in, most people are clumsy and ineffective when it comes to "networking" because they ignore a very important rule - Relationship First, Business Second.
There's a tremendous amount of curiosity about Whisk(e)y today. It's a great excuse for you to gather a group of people who want to have fun and learn something new. The Whisk(e)y School teaches you how to tap into that curiosity, and share your love of whisk(e)y in an unpretentious way. You're demonstrating knowledge, expertise, and an engaging personality - things valued by every gatekeeper, in every industry.
Or would you rather hand out business cards and cross your fingers?

Oh man! My favourite review so far. It’s got everything. The Moochness’ classic wit, Daniel’s knowledge, talking over each other, Rex hurling insults, Rex trying to sound smart with Chad editing over the moment (PPM). This one is a true classic 🤣!

Need to try the 35 year old Ben Riach it blew my socks off.

[@1987thomasangelo]

This is one of my all time favourite whisky. I love it so much, I got triggered by the few drops you poured outside of the glass :D

[@peterwiley2780]

just saw that jesse from still it is sending you his product; can't wait to see the review! love both channels!!

[@maxphillips8895]

Sooooo I’ve crossed the line to Rye.....AND I LIKE IT!!

[@MyBoomStick1]

I LOVE THIS WHISKY!!! I always get a taste that I can only describe as a big piece of smoked cheese over a piece of apple with a little peanut butter. 🙏🏻😍

[@rippinrye506]

Hello guys, really like your show. Quick story for you.. over the past few months I have gradually got my girl friend into whiskey. To my surprise she is really into the smokey whiskeys! She recently became a fan of the vault/tribe too! Anyway, yesterday I was having a glass and I got wondering were all my whiskey has been going, I keep buying bottles and it keeps disappearing. My girlfriend was walking next to me and said " I'm your whiskey mooch ". Thanks Rex!

[@maxphillips8895]

Bullet Rye has been added to my available mooch shelf, at the good professors house. And 1st off, the nose takes me back to California, and eucalyptus trees......wow, it’s there! And then the overall taste....is smile on the face of the cranky old man!! I feel like I’ve waisted years on this one!

[@mattkurtz7578]

Bought one of these due to this. Nicely played.

Another great video! Glenfinnich 21 rum cask

[@JoeH_2]

Welcome to the Whiskey Vault, here’s to fighting, stealing and drinking..

[@nathandebruin5853]

Another great video on a great Scotch. Any change you guys have a bottle of Royal Brackla in the vault? Heard it has great flavour and some interesting history, would love to see a review on that. Thanks again for the video

[@ErikWaitWhiskyStudies]

December 28, 2020 - I am watching this video and comparing notes as I will be reviewing this soon. I love comparing Highland Peated Whiskies like this with Islay Peated Whiskies.

[@haraldspiess8210]

I like the Curiositas very much, it is such a tasty one. I have lids for my whisky glasses and I like it very much, when the glas stays in the kitchen for the night or even longer and you open up the lid and smell things yiu never dreamed of in this intensity in a whisky.

[@onggia850]

A Scotch on Bourbon Day!? And also...surprised me to find out that Rex brought Daniel into the Wizard Academy and not the other way around.

[@TGrabs22]

I love this whisky so much

[@maltymission]

cutty sark prohibition is a big step up from the regular. Bottled at higher ABV and very affordable (around 30 bucks), it's probably one of the better standard blends available and definitely bang for your buck. Check it out if you come across it

[@laplantski]

In this episode the scotch hobit and the man formerly known as the mooch review scotch on national bourbon day.

[@RwingDsquad]

I’m sold. I’m buying it.
