The Rhode Island/Connecticut Somm powers are strong! Glad to see Cliff hit the big leagues as a TITAN OF WHISKEY!

“…I’m multilingual…” I love how some of the things Daniel says flies under the radar.😂

[@JazznRealHipHop]

There’s some pretty fantastic independent bottling’s of Caol Ila out there. This one sounds like an interesting one that may need time to open up. Keep those scotch reviews coming please! 💯🥃

[@mpyle27]

I have a 25 yr CI. Been waiting to crack it for over a year. Cheers!

[@PiperTallMatt]

I have some great SMWS bottlings from Caol Ila... *cough* I mean... *cough* ... _Distillery 53_.

[@XxGallowsxX]

Let's go! Appreciate the amazing content gentlemen, thank you as always!

[@PiperTallMatt]

Wow... I happen to have this one thanks to my visit to Irene Tan last year. :D Cheers!

[@rurugby]

I got it from Irene Tan too. 😊

[@b1gsteve251]

The full titan celebration is facking awesome. Y’all are the blueprint for whiskey reviews.

[@bendarel]

I want to see you guys confuse Briana on the tasting notes, that would be amazing :D

[@Cog1123]

Yes! Let this happen😂

[@robviousobviously5757]

GOOD MORNING YOU MB'S.... 🥃 TGIRWF... Beard Sparkles 🎉

[@William.Knight]

I've got a Berry Bros. & Rudd single barrel, cask strength independent bottling of Caol Ila 12 that is one of my favorite Scotches I've owned. I finished a bottle of it, found out there were less than 250 bottles produced from that cask, went back and bought another. That same store has a 7yr independent Caol Ila that I might have to snag.

[@matthewsawczyn6592]

Brianna would absolutely just laugh and go: WHAT???!😄

[@rachellejaniga9716]

Thanks for the baby vomit note, Daniel. Love that I now have words to put with that sour funk note I sometimes get with Scotch.😂

[@-RONNIE]

Thank you for the review guys 🥃

[@tommyp2561]

“Did you just burp in the midst of hearing?” 😂😂😂 Best intro ever. Also, there’s such a bounty of amazing flavors to be found in mezcal! Glad to hear you guys talk about it. Side note: I am also multilingual, yesterday I burped and farted at the same time. Cheers!

[@the_whiskeyshaman]

Old particular gets very unique. For sure. I have had there Ardmore 18 and it was pretty intense as well

[@WhiskyWolf514]

Finally a bit more Scotch on the list. I understand you guys need to keep up views and probably most of it comes from the US hence the 70% American whiskeys you review but I have to be honest I really miss the balance here. If I need to consider buying a bottle of scotch or Irish specially with more recent distilleries or bottlelings - the Vault isn't my number one go to channel anymore. It's honestly too bad as I genuinely love you guys and the conent you make. Cheers

[@verpine3534]

I've always preferred the full length Titan animation. There's always something about "Rex and Daniel destroy the Sun" that whispers, "As the prophecies foretold."

[@davidfurr6004]

Is there any chance of a review of Bushmills "Prohibition" edition (with a "Peaky Blinders" tie in ?) I can't decide if it's merely Red Bush or regular Bushmills at a higher proof.

[@mortenfrederiksen3063]

We have a great descriptor for these upfront young rowdy whiskys in my group of friends... We refer to the "high drama" as a knife fight in a phonebooth = a beautiful mess.

[@safromnc8616]

The power of suggestion...that's a fine line to tread... ***The SLB Drinks guys are going to be down in Austin would love to see you guys collab w/them. Trenton comes up w/all kinds of crazy tasting notes.

[@LostBravesFan]

Wow 2 full length Titan song in 7 days. Almost forgot what it sounded like.

[@TheDarthSoldier]

Hope you all enjoyed my contribution of the Askeg single barrel

[@Gary-du4xm]

Another great vlog MBs

[@rurugby]

I really love this bottle. I'm surprised you didn't like it more. Everyone's tastes are different though. Maybe it's a different Barrel of Old Particular Caol Ila 8 Cask Strength.

[@SchmiddiAlive]

Has anyone an idea what the music in the intro is? Absolutely love it!

[@tonywestin9018]

Full length Titan intro. Nice.

[@robviousobviously5757]

Daniel: A-B comparison in class, IN CLASS.. completely dodging Rex's mooch ability 2 points team Daniel

[@tommccafferty5591]

I wonder how this would compare to Ardbeg Wee Beastie, at 5 year old. As an aside, my son and daughter-in-law just visited Oaxaca and bought me a bottle of Pechuga Mezcal. Mezcal de Pechuga is Mezcal that is distilled with something hanging over the still. Pechuga means breast in Spanish, and it is usually a chicken breast that is hung over the still. This version says it was coyote that was hung. Very earthy.

[@jhr_illustrations4159]

Oy! I've been a follower for years now, really enjoy what you guys do. I am on a tight budget and I'm looking for a bourbon for someone that has a very pronounced sweet tooth. Are there any bourbons that you would pour neat for someone who's sweet tooth is bordering diabetes? Commenters are welcome to respond as well.

[@dylanlenn7836]

I knew a scotch tape reference was coming

[@ianreynolds494]

I get that bile/baby sick on almost all single malts. Can't get past it so have never really gotten into Scotch. Tried some Stranahan's and still get a hint that gets in the way of really enjoying it. Not sure if there is a way to desensitize.

[@jswebhead]

I was tasting a French whiskey with "novice" frind of mine. I think Brenne. He had trouble picking out tasting notes beyond "sweet" but was enjoying it. I noted it smelled like bazooka Joe bubble gum. He stopped, and said. "Oh, I HATE Bazooka Joe!" And poured it out. 😂😂

[@NRRenggli]

Use the ‘Wrong Tasting Notes’ for the L5 Som. Test 😇😅😅😅

[@billypilgrim2046]

THE COSMIC BUNGHOLE DEMANDS A RETURN!

[@robviousobviously5757]

the BUNG HAS SPOKEN.. Beard Sparkles 🎉

[@jacobrich7785]

I got that slight sick, fermenty note actually on a couple scotches recently but not every time I drink them Wonder if it's something i ate that day or just the young-ness

[@silverdale6780]

Every time I have a dram of my Port Askaig, I'm reminded of how similar to me it tastes like mezcal

[@jerrybarr3354]

Mezcal is my new favorite whiskey 😅

[@DonnerPassWhisky]

This is the kind of bottle that is fantastic to finish in a 1 liter mini barrel that has been readied with a couple of month prep of your favorite fortified wine. Some kind of Sherry, Port or whatever you like. You can finish 4 bottles in the barrel but beware the first one that goes in will only take 24-36 hours to finish. Each bottle after will take longer, 3-4 days for #2, a week perhaps for #3 and 2 weeks for #4. It's a lot of fun with these independent bottles that are young cask strength from a refill bourbon hogshead. Cheers

[@darrenj9013]

Maybe have a few whiskeys and 2 of them have bogus notes, others have actual notes and see if they can pick out real vs fake.

[@ThinkFaster66]

I haven’t been able to find caol ila for a while. The first isla scotch i fell in love with. …on the other hand I just tried michters bourbon. Son if a bitch that stuffs good.

[@duchessofislay]

😂 Always entertaining!

[@unclemikiesworld]

11:23 so true

[@dumpeeplarfunny]

If it's an immature whiskey, could it be finished in some charred oak?

[@johnmcelwain5884]

Scotch Tape note?.....thought you meant BUCKET. lol.

[@Hytaz_Fjord]

Mooch rating for this episode: 1 +1 for extra pour, all most got the comparison pour but sabotaged himself. What was that I have no clue. I think the pressure has gotten to him, he might be losing his mooch magic.

[@Wilvekio69]

TGIF MB's :)

[@FEWGEE1]

I've had some great independent bottlings of Caol Ila, and one awful bottling - Smoky Scot. It was 5 year bourbon barrel matured, and was almost completely clear. It smelt and tasted like a cheap white wine. Pure vinegar, instant headache, and the hangover was atrocious!

[@ManateeOnRye]

Age vs Maturity. Very apparent in this video

[@schill58]

I would be 100% on board with looking like a stooge and pulling off ridiculous, thoughts, mooching and genius thoughts.

[@erikevenson4303]

Since it's a fresh bottle adding water will bring the peat out

[@zegagenesis778]

Brianna and Schwood. She'd call you out and he'd look for it and bend to social pressure but not break. Until he did.

[@mattlars89]

I feel like you have run into some special effects all of a sudden :)

[@crusefitzgerald]

2:33 - Is that a Joe Biden quote?

[@djl8710]

I do taste what they taste, but it's more Munchausen by proxy then Stockholm syndrome in a placebo sorta way ya kno?

[@iissamiam]

A pity mooching is still a mooch.

[@sachinkainth9508]

The only thing I know about Wako is David Coresh.

[@Sman7290]

That's the nasty sour sick that I get from Speyburn 10 and from Writers Tears. Hard pass.
