Whisky Review: Black Bull Kyloe with Sheep Dip Comparison + Brenne with TX Blended Whiskey Cameo

[@rengar56]

guys its ok that you review rare stuff I'll never drink, shit I'll never drink a lot of the common stuff as well. I just love the content and watching your reactions.

[@alyr9640]

yesterday i had a migraine so mid day i shut off the phone and laid down. My husband was out running an errand. Later after i woke up he says to me: "you feeling ok? I walked into the house and didnt hear that whisky guy's voice (daniel) and i got worried." HA! Guess you guys are part of the family now!

[@tambula24]

Finally finished paying off all of my student loans and decided to celebrate and get some whiskey. Bought some Lagavulin 16 and Ardbeg 10. To me Lagavulin tastes very similar to Talisker and Ardbeg similar to Laphroaig. Without this channel I would not have ventured to explore whiskey -- Thank you guys and girls.

[@ericschwab409]

I strongly agree with you guys that a special Friday Whisk(e)y Review would be a very agreeable and much appreciated change. We don’t have a regular WV vid on Saturdays (because it’s the Whisk(e)y Tribe video posting) and there’s nothing new posted on Sundays so doing the weekender kick off on Friday makes a lot of sense. I put a lot of value in these reviews as do many others. I’ve even been showing liquor store clerks some of your reviews and they are grateful for the info and love the highjinxs. I’m spreading the whisk(e)y gospel, but I often get funny looks because I think many people still have a negative view of whiskies. Drinking hard spirits in general is often only acceptable for some people when it’s in a cocktail. Your videos have helped me convince two of my friends that whiskies aren’t bad but a gift. Keep up the good work! 🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃

[@chrissyfears4299]

“We’ve done this five times already “, My short term memory is fine with that.

[@StarScream0722]

I like how there are so may cork noise bleeps in these videos but Daniel's flipping of the bird, completely untouched. Love it!

[@MrDestroyderek23]

Picked up a whiskey the other day just on bottle/cork alone and gotta say I was not disappointed. Have you guys ever had Caribou Crossing single barrel Canadian whiskey? I'm a scotch guy myself but I feel like I don't see a lot of Canadian whiskey being branded as single barrel and found this to be an interesting find.

[@geoffgaebe8354]

I like that you guys use your home bars to explore. Since starting to watch your channel, and (almost more importantly) finding a new liquor store with a vast selection (for NYC), I don't think I've repeated a bottle since Christmas. I'm currently sitting on a Classic Laddie, a Tomatin, Auchentoshen American Oak (which has grown on me since last commenting on it), Bowmore Bourbon Cask, one of each of the Jameson Caskmates, an Elijah Craig Small Batch, and the Corsair Triple Smoke. I've also started an Infinity Bottle that currently has remnants of Compass Box Artist's Blend and Redemption High Rye Bourbon.

[@tdolan500]

I’ll really wish you would tell me when you mention me. Hearing my name from the tv while it’s on in the background never fails to make me jump 😂

[@jkam3507]

Terry Dolan lol i know right. I never thought my question would get asked. But soon as the question started i knew it was mine.

[@ericschwab409]

That mention was also your advanced notice....it’s a fast paced world in Austin. I think they don’t have time to do anything but taste whiskies and pump out vids. Lol! Besides, Rex probably likes making people jump!

[@SuperScoooty]

Also... I'm definitely not a rep. Because I'm a baker and I bake for this distillery. Catoctin Creek rye. They have 3 kinds. I like the roundstone rye. Plus they have expanded to 26 states, Washington DC and even ship outside the country. So it's not really obscure at all. It's a rye... It's 100% rye (rare), it's delicious and it's more available than some things some people send in. I'd send it to you but I don't have the cash for that stuff. But this place is great and deserves a review by the best whiskey review channel out there... Other than whiskey impressions. Shout-out to my whiskey friend.

[@jimtaucher791]

Scott LaBruyere. Wait. Let me get this straight. You are a baker who bakes for a distillery. You sir have my dream job. Ive been baking for 30 years and i have not come across this job in the want adds. Cheers brother. 🥃

[@SuperScoooty]

Jim Taucher I bake just one item got them. I actually work at a bakery. I went in for a tasting and we started talking. Now I make spent rye baguette chips for them.

[@jimtaucher791]

Scott LaBruyere. Awesome. I actually baked at home and sold bakery items at a brewery here in cape coral Florida up until about 9 months ago. I incorporated their beer in many products i made. Im hoping to be able to do that again sometime. Unfortunately that brewery was bought out by another so i lost my opportunity there. I love your story man. Keep baking🥐🍪🥃🥨🥖

[@morandirdraugmor4130]

That is the greatest answer ever, may you have that drink Rex sir. May you have that drink

[@BrianPellerin]

Love your videos. I’m entering the whiskey world via Gibson’s 12 right now.

[@southdubify]

Hey guys, love the show, and much to Daniel's dismay, I am a Bourbon (Kentucky Straight) fanatic even though I live in Houston, though I look forward to visiting the distillery when you're done. My question is, if you are sipping your whisky slowly, is it better to cover the glass with some sort of cap in order to prevent the whisky from getting too much air, or does this not matter at all in terms of flavor? Keep on keeping on men, may your adventures be swashbuckling

[@ericschwab409]

You can use a dished piece of glass called a “watch glass” to cover your glencairn or other drinking vessel. The trick is to find the correct diameter watch glass to cover your vessel. Watch glassses are used a lot in laboratories to cover beakers etc. You can buy them online. I think a 50 or 65 mm glass would easily cover a glencairn glass. www.labconusa.com/Watch_Glass_50mm.html Amazon has a number of different sizes available too for reasonable prices. The Pyrex ones are the best (tough)

[@Robert.Sheard]

How would your home bars change if you didn't have access to the vault every day?

[@vorticalcomet85]

Long time whiskey and coke kind of guy but your videos have made me want to step up my game. So I bought a bottle of monkey shoulder to try out straight but can't seem to get over the alcohol taste.just gives me the shivers every time I take a drink. Is there any advice you can give me to find the sweet friendly flavors that you describe or would drinking a few whiskeys and coke help me acclimate to the alcohol? By the way love the channel keep up the good work!

[@jdnlv]

Thanks for the post as I was considering a bottle of Brenne as my next bottle. The review has moved it down the list but not off of the list. AS always the information and shenanigans are appreciated.

[@ericschwab409]

There is an other French single malt whiskey I would like to try. It’s a Breton (from Brittany next door to Normandy) and called “Armorik” and the distillery is Warenghem which was founded in 1900. It flew off the shelf at one of the liquor stores I frequent.....unfortunately I didn’t catch one of the bottles.

[@AFR_PGH]

Hoping to see a review of the two bottles sent into you guys. the 200 proof XFBEV and the 99.8 ABV Vodka sometime soon. How about you guys review my bottles on my 50th Birthday on June 15th.

[@WhiskeyVault]

Erik if we do it, it will likely be in conjunction with something else since neither are whisky. But I'll make Rex do it. I already tried them and they nearly took my head off.

[@SheFlungDung]

Do you have any secret outlets or website that sell hard to find stuff? Other than auction sites? I'd like to get my hands on pappy. Wanted to try it and see what the hype is.

[@jacobgastelum3006]

Dear Daniel and Rex just started drinking whiskey and can't seem to get past the burning sensation. Any tips from the pros?

[@ericschwab409]

Try a gentle Highland Scotch like Dalwhinnie or add some ice or water to your whiskey. The ice shuts down the flavors a lot but numbs your tongue a bit to the burning of the ethanol a little. The best thing to do is actually drink more whiskies and your brain 🧠 will become accustomed to the ethanol and it won’t be as harsh. The reaction you have to the alcohol is a natural reaction to a potential toxin. If you drink it more, your body goes down to defcon 2 and eventually ignores it

[@Koby616]

About to buy my first black bull. Thanks guys 😁

[@khicks72]

I love the over-the-top emoting Daniel puts into the toast since Rex gave him shit about mailing it in. :-D

[@glfrjack]

Have you ever tried eating a sugar cube before tasting whisky (or whiskey) that is "overpoweringly sweet", as a way to acclimate your palate?

[@ItsBrantner]

I would like to see what you guys think of Crown Royal XR. It's one of my favorites!

[@olethanatos8173]

So in Baseball you 2nd and 3rd string pitchers, do we have a 2nd or 3rd string Mooch to step in and help in times like these? Cheers.

[@heatherrosenberry4078]

I posted something about III Spirits peated islay style whiskey from Oregon in the tribe that appears to have been deleted. I'm not a rep I'm a Corporal with ODOC. I was just trying to give folks in the PNW a heads up about it because it's pretty tasty. Is there any other reasons a post might get deleted other than someone thinking your a rep?

[@robdorn420]

Hey that's a coincedence, I had an abelour 12 yesterday too! Although my yesterday was at an european timezone.

[@drewm-r7249]

You guys are going to need to pick a 100,000th subscriber celebration whisky!

[@AskTheTree]

Did you ever decide on whether you are going to start on reddit?

[@Incubansoul]

I'm a big ol fan of butterscotch so every time it's mentioned as a note in a whisky that whisky instantly goes onto my buy list.

[@Incubansoul]

That would explain why it's my favorite :O

[@alyr9640]

Decisions....decisions....just picked up michters small batch american whiskey here.....the guys gave it a great review....cant wait to try it tonight!

[@ComptonCity310]

Get a Highland Park 12. Delicious!

[@JeremyArnone]

Thanks for the suggestion! Got it a couple weeks ago! Love it!

[@JeremyArnone]

Before these Magnificent Bastards life was simple! But they've turned me into world traveling, adventurous, flavor exploring, whiskey connoisseur...thank you Daniel and Rex

[@academiadesommelierdepuert4489]

Hi. Humbly: Where do you get a level three whisky sommelier title?

[@Tyler-ti3cx]

We would like to see you guys do a glendalough 7 year review.

[@neilcooke980]

Hey, you've talked about how different climates affect the distilling process with regards to taste results. What do places with significant climate changes do to standardize their products? I presume they do certain processes at the same time each year prior to placing in casks ??? If they do, do the distilleries say in Scotland, typically all do the same processes at the same time, kinda like a season for a certain process?

[@ericschwab409]

I think traditionally American whiskies were distilled in the fall after the corn crops were harvested. That was when farmers did distilling as a side job for extra money. It fit in with the end of the harvest and winter slaughtering of livestock (pigs were traditionally killed in the winter when it was cold because it helped preserve the meat). There doesn’t seem to be much info available about when distilling was done in Scotland or Ireland, but I’m sure it was done in sequence after the harvest was in. I think it probably didn’t matter much as to when much of the work was done though. You probably just had to have it warm enough so the water was liquid, the barley would germinate, the yeast would ferment, and you wouldn’t freeze to death when you filled the barrels. With consumption of whiskies at an all time high, I think it’s a year round business now for the bigger distillers. The smaller guys who knows?

[@ericschwab409]

Neil, Here’s a link to an interesting article on barley and scotch production. There are 5,500 strains of barley but only about 6-9 varieties are used for Scotch: flaviar.com/blog/barley-in-the-whisky-making-process

[@johnlafferty9135]

Have you guys tried the green label Sheep Dip (Islay Blended Malt)?

[@hartweld65]

Can't find that here in Ohio. At least I have not seen it here. Hey Daniel!!!! Which Rums and Tequila's do you have at home. Asking for myself... Also, don't you mean The Scotch Malt Whisky Society not Association?

[@WhiskeyVault]

Rum: Ron Zacapa Mezcal: Del Maguey Vida

[@JimmyLeg]

Yes, that's what he means.

[@waelfaris2297]

Bob Dylan is launching his own Whiskey this coming May. It's called "Heaven's door". If you guys can get your hands on it soon and review it, that would be a dream come true!

[@superhumanben]

It's not my favorite at all but my wife and several friends really like it. Daniel, have you cleaned up the wishlist yet? Reason I sent it was I didnt know your reviewed it and it was still on the wishlist. 🙄

[@michaeldraut8336]

GO TERRY!!! GO GET'EM!!

[@JefferyEPetrone]

Hey did the second attempt of whisky make it to you? Or the Heaven Hill 8 year old?

[@WhiskeyVault]

I'm pretty sure we got the new stuff. We're backed up by about 3 months at this point. This is what's on my received list to shoot from you: Dark Hollow PA Bourbon Whiskey Jefferson's KY Straight Bourbon Very Small Batch Old Bardstown KY Straight Bourbon KY Bourbon Straight Whiskey Trader Joe's Distilled by Bourbon Square Distilling

[@JefferyEPetrone]

Whiskey Vault thanks for reply, I was worried about repeat incident of broken bottles. Backed up is a good place to be I guess. Will possibly try to get my hands on another limited High West at some point.

[@grossepatatedamour]

Is aberlour a good whisky? It's the only bottle of whisky i own and i don't think it taste good at all. Am i just better of staying in rum or try another kind.

[@alyr9640]

Perhaps you just arent a fan of sherry heavy whisky...DONT GIVE UP! Def try something different. I find the Aberlour 16 to be less cloying than the 12 (which is what i presume you mean...) now, what to try? Hmmmm....🤔

[@alyr9640]

Maybe try Glenmorangie original? Ive Never had it but it always gets good reviews, it seems easily accessible to most locations and the price is reasonable (at least where i am).

[@grossepatatedamour]

A R yes i was about the 12 i find it dry for what im use to drink with rums and thank you i'll check it out for sure .

[@FiairFlair]

It's good, but good in its own specific way. Very fruity and spicy and sweet, with a sherry finish. If that's not for you then there a very different whiskys out there. Give Bunnahabhain 12 or Oban 14 a go if you think you might like smokey whisky - they are good gateways in.

[@alyr9640]

LOVE Bunnahabhain 12 Balvenie also has a 14 year old rum finished bottle. Its pricier though...

[@jamesbaird1342]

I know you know this but Amber just bought MoM. Interesting that they now can't ship to U.S. some law and MoM also owns some beer that competes with Ambev.

[@mierdadeburo303]

If you mix them together would it make it bullsheep whisky

[@TheBioethicist]

Hey, is Rex not quite at 100%? I can't put my finger on why, but he seems to be a bit hobbled. Maybe it's that he said he was about 12 times.

[@jjy3k10]

Bunna 12 isn't peated! Mind blown when I found out

[@jleang12]

Here’s a whisky nerd question (sorry Rex). Do you have any guidelines with respect to blending whiskys? Are there certain flavors that stand out more than others? e.g. will peat overwhelm other flavors? What about stronger whiskys, like cask strength whiskys mixing with whisky bottled at 43/46%? Last note, can we bring back #rexweek?!?!

[@eddyvardas3854]

Wait I can’t get it in the us??

[@expel2354]

So, Rex and Danny, I don't care about the whiskys being reviewed on this episode. I've been really enjoying the Dalmore 12 and Naked Grouse lately. I was wondering what I should try out next.

[@ericschwab409]

Black Bottle and Cutty Sark before you try too many others.....some people look down on these but ignore that and just try them. I thought they were shit based upon experiences I had many years ago. That was until I tasted them again recently. They aren’t expensive but if you like grouse, these two I mentioned take you on a nice trip of flavor and history. Try Monkey Shoulder too just for the record. Then try Glenfiddich 12 and Bunnahabhain 12 at some point to get some single malt under your belt. These are just my suggestions. Others will have different ideas.

[@thomaslinden7598]

Obviously, the only logical reaction to too much whiskey is that you boys need to drink more whiskey!

[@Username-xd3qx]

Rex should just become a somm with a level higher than Daniel, all the while using 50% (or less) of his full tasting powers. That would be way more ball busting than anything else done before.

[@nikollebini]

Not 16 years! but 16 different single malts. ;)

[@SuperScoooty]

Ooooohhhhh... Sheep DIP. Ok. This is now ok. For a second... Never mind. I wouldn't have tried that one. But it's dip... Sheep DIP.

[@maxphillips8895]

Scott LaBruyere I believe....origin is that whisky smugglers would put contraband in containers marked S.D. Cuz no one is going to taste test that.

[@ericschwab409]

Sheep dip being the medicinal bath used to fight parasites on the sheep (ticks, lice, blow flies, and itch mites). Sheep dip recipes were either organophosphate (OP) or pyrethroid (pyrethrum from marigolds) based. The OP formulations were/are highly neuro-toxic to humans and sheep alike.

[@jeffkluge7152]

[@thatsgoodgb]

Take away form this episode: Everytime Danny boy blends something he ends up destroying the blend somehow or ruining the whiskies (see blendageddon).. Sorry to bring this up but... Rex is the Somm now

[@RhinoViper]

That isn't true at all...if he just throws stuff together, like he did in this video, yeah it doesn't go well. But if he tries to make a particular whiskey by blending a few together, he can damn near nail it every time.

[@thatsgoodgb]
