** 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?

[@sabrewolf9567]

Adam Capwell I went out too grab some to but I live in a small town with 3 liquor stores and none of them have monkey shoulder ☹️. So I got four roses definitely not bad but I feel like I’m missing out on monkey shoulder.

@@sabrewolf9567 order it online?

[@j.r.5803]

@Jerome b williams Its interesting when you start going for more concentrated stuff as chocolate, cigars, honey, whisky, etc, when you go into less flavorate things it tastes and feels as nothing. Good for begginers tho, start with the less, as so you can enjoy later more the sophisticated ones.

[@SoapAcademy]

I tried it and wasn’t too impressed. 🤷🏼

[@jacobjarvis1318]

I do not like the monkey shoulder

[@Astrogerms]

I just bought the first two you showed in this video. I just cracked open the Monkey this evening and it was delicious! I literally am just getting into Whiskey and really appreciated this video. Thanks guys!!

[@WhiskeyVault]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@buggyridge]

I never learned to appreciate whiskey until recently and almost age 65. I drank my share of JD and WT 40 years ago but never appreciated them. Bought a bottle of Laphroaig Quarter cask last week after watching one of your reviews. Almost spit out the first sip it was so unfamiliar. I won't say bad. but the second sip was different. Not good but not bad. After third sip I started to fall in love. Thank you for making the rest of my life much more enjoyable! I think my wife has a crush on Daniel.

[@dons8764]

I love the non snobbish approach to whisky these two have. Great watch. This shows that you don't have to spend a fortune on single malt scotch to drink great whisky. I've had roughly half of these and now need to try the rest!

[@00tjrider]

Love this video... have watched it several times, as I've bought several of the bottles talked about. Very educational. Thanks guys!

[@jonatanlehtinen6725]

Thank you guys very much for all this great content! Not only are you not snobby and pretentious but you guys truly give good information on whiskey and just enjoy it! Im a student from Finland and have been for a long time on a quest to find the true beauty of whiskey, and the more i drink it the more i love it, and through your videos my knowledge about what it is that i enjoy has expanded greatly! Thank you, keep it up!

[@Newtibourne]

The sparkle effects added while you said, "it's all bright and sparkly!" were a very nice touch! Thanks for the video. I just found this channel and am really enjoying the content and the personalities!

[@notrob1214]

Thank you guys so much for all your videos. When I turned 21 I got a job at specs and didn’t know Much about alcohol(especially bourbons and whiskey). Yall have taught me a lot and help me earn a lot of respect from customers and fellow employees. If you ever have trouble finding something special please come down to specs at San Antonio! I’ll be more than happy to help you out in anyway possible.

My favorite Laphroaig description from their campaign was "The sweat on God's brow on the 7th day."

[@Buddhabebop]

that is beautiful. I hope I never forget it

[@MsJavaWolf]

My favourite was "A burning hospital" because I find it so accurate.

[@FawleyJude]

A woman who was working a whisky sample table at the Heathrow airport duty-free described Laphroaig to me as having "that great horse-piss aroma".

[@magicsteve5523]

I would describe it as “peaty water in a bottle”

[@rodneyhoward8423]

Taste like drinking the charred waste water after a barrel of this burned

G'Day Daniel and Rex. I discovered your Channel through The Modern Rogue but it was Daniel's magnificent beard and freakishly extensive Whisk(e)y knowledge had kept me coming back. I love the Whisk(e)y facts almost as much as Rex mooching your drink when you turn away. This has happened on at least three occasions. I"m 18 years old (which is the legal age to drink in Australia) and I have recently completed my RSA Responsible Service of Alcohol. This allows me to legally serve people alcohol. Your explanations of how Whisk(e)y is classified has been a big help as i have recently applied for a Job at a local Club. Keep up the excellent work, you've got yourself a life long fan.

[@WhiskeyVault]

Glad you're here!

[@sugarcaneross]

I bought myself a bottle of Michter's Unblended American Whiskey from this video, and I have to say I'm absolutely astounded. It's become my consistent go-to when sharing a whiskey neat with a friend/guest. Cost me $45 here in NYC, but for me is vastly superior to so many other American whiskeys I've tried around that price point. Great recommendation, Rex!

[@D3rklp]

I am a total beginner and my father showed me my first whisky. Laphroaig 10. Somehow, I hated it and I loved it the same time. The first few scotches I tasted were the very smokey ones. Then I tested my first Bourbon. Woodford Reserve. My whole world changed. That was I think the greatest experience I had in 2020. Greetings from Germany

[@morebeer7673]

I started with Scotch and stayed with it for over 20 years. I've only recently started deeply exploring bourbons. The bourbons are comparatively like liquid candy, lol. Good stuff!

[@jedicouncil66]

Laphroaig 10 is probably the best in the world. Simply unmatched.

[@scottydont29]

As a new whiskey drinker I’m glad I found this video and now monkey shoulder is now my whiskey of choice thank you for the info

[@assassinierer47]

Love your Channel. So nice to watch you two drink and talk about my favorite drink. Really nice job. BTW the Glenfarclas 8y is a really nice whisky for not a lot of money. Got it for about 20€ in Northern Germany.

[@bamboosaint]

Rex-- Great recommendation with the Michter's whiskey! I've fallen in love with this whiskey. Thanks from a former wine enthusiast!

[@RedSoxFanatic4Life]

Great job, as always. I’d love to see annual update videos on this crowdsourced list, as prices and availability change from year to year and distilleries continue to add new entries in the budget(-ish) category.

[@stenn.4472]

After finding out about your channel "Oh I need to get THAT wiskey, oh and that one, and THIS looks awesome...and...and..."

[@ascaye]

I'm intrigued and when payday rolls around I will buy a bottle of Michter's. I also enjoy Crown Royal Black.

[@chrismccannIRL]

You guys have inspired me. Went out to my local whiskey spot. Had a midleton very rare 2016, red breast 15, bushmillls 21, Glenfarclas 25, yellow spot, red spot, and a Jameson 18. Loved them all. Then oddly had an Appleton 12 and Ron Zacapa 23 rums. Lovely too.

[@Daniel_Scott89]

Recently tried Monkey Shoulder and love it. It’s my current favorite for the price

[@joestriker2100]

Michter's American Whiskey is my all time favorite right now. Something else that they do to make is smoother, is that they already add water to it so that the alcohol content is lower when placed in the used barrels. So it's not just the bourbon getting absorbed into the wood, but the water also. EXCELLENT whiskey

[@kretzjr]

I Love Monkey Shoulder. Just found you guys a couple weeks ago and I'm loving the content.

[@oldgoat8861]

I found your channel by a different source. "Old Fart" here (retired now) and enjoy my Whiskey as a Neat Sippper/or 3-5 drop water drip (sniff, slow sip, hold, taste, swallow, hold, breath) meathod. I'm no damn snob...a hard ass working man...but I relax and enjoy my Whiskey as a reward to a day or weeks work. I subscribed after watching a few videos, because alot of what you say is "CORRECT"....no KZbin lies here. Well done!!!

[@justinprice6033]

Been watching your videos for about a week. Love your content. When you list the boozes talked about in the video, you should include a link. Keep up the great videos

[@kevinjones7980]

I love Laphroaig. It instantly reminded me of the old Creomulsion cough syrup.

[@tallguy1998]

Just tried Highland park 12 year, really appreciate that recommendation! I think I have a new favorite.

[@theboss4169]

Try the 18...Much better imo.

[@astronoteimportant1753]

You guys are the best. I got some Buffalo Trace last night and was not at all disappointed. I have also tried some of your recommendations from other videos.

[@christopherellison5689]

Because of you two guys, I finally purchased a bottle of Monkey Shoulder. I'm amazed how much I like it. Keep up the good work!!!

[@DirtBike12oClock]

Glendronach. All of them (No colloring, non chilled filtered, high ABV) top notch sherry scotch.

[@NoNiceUserNames]

I am big fan of sherry cask whiskey and hadn't heard of this. Appreciate the suggestion

[@paulbliss8241]

Only tried the 12 year old ,was excellent!!One of my favourites!

[@hansmeier837]

So sad that Glendronach is chill filtering now. Maybe Glenallachie is able to fill this gap

[@Conquistadorr]

Agree. One of the best basic whiskys

[@nicknelson634]

I live across the river from Portland Oregon. Can't stand the city but it's a great place to go for whiskey as there is no tax on it

[@phillipbaritone3843]

Man I remember being able to get four roses single barrel for about 40 bucks before the pandemic. I miss that, it was so good for that price, but for 50 plus bucks now it’s definitely a splurge. Still a damn fine bourbon! I got my start with whiskey on the monkey shoulder

[@TexasGrizzlyBear]

Thanks for the recommendations! I was able to find Monkey Shoulder in Hillsboro, TX. Love it so far, great whiskey period, not just for the money.

[@Draknareth]

One of my favourites for the money is Glenfiddich 15 Solera reserve. To me it's around 95% of the complexity of Glenfiddich 18 but for nearly half the price, and that is pretty significant.

[@benson6158]

I have a bottle of 15 and 18 in my cabinet, the 18 is much more full than the 15.

[@TRZN91]

I love Buffalo Trace!!!! My go to budget bourbon. I have never understood the Monkey Shoulder love. It's by no means terrible. I'm also not a smoke snob, I can enjoy a whisky on the mellow, or sweet side. I just think there is far better Scotch at similar price points available (atleast everywhere I've been). I'd make an argument for Knob Creek, Single Barrel for bang for your buck. If you factor in Taste, availability, typical price, and strength. Don't need much of it to get you going, taste deceptively good for the alchohol content, you can find it just about anywhere (in the US) and it's usually not to pricey 30-50 range most places I've been

[@douglasfisher4401]

Gentlemen, new to the page and love the content. Truthfully enjoy the whiskey/whisky reviews. Tampa Florida native and the pricing is double here though.. Keep up the good work guys!

[@remander3873]

Picked up a bottle of Michter's 10 year single barrel rye recently. Definitely not cheap, but amazing. Worth the price for sure.

[@daspicer1]

I'm an American living in the Philippines and it's likely in the running for the best place on the planet to become an alcoholic :-) Johnnie Walker sets the stage here with the Black Label being probably the best deal going at only about $19 a liter; Double Black is about $10 more per liter. Gold Label Reserve is about $25/750ml. The Green Label is about $39/750ml. And the Platinum Label is about $59/750ml. I don't know how that's even possible. But if they're counterfeit then someone is doing a damn good job. For mixing, I've seen the Red Label for as low as $10 a liter. But the Philippines has a decent 5-year-old 80 proof whiskey (White Castle) that works great for that at less than $5 for a 750ml bottle. Glenlivet 12 is about $32/750ml, Glenfiddich 12 a couple of Dollars more. Maker's Mark is about $16.50 for a 750ml bottle. Bulleit is about $28 for a liter. Monkey Shoulder is about $32 for a 750ml bottle, 40% ABV.

[@bbcoachSupermanBR]

Jameson Caskmates Stout Edition is the only whiskey that my co-workers actually liked...that was after 7 others including Four Roses, Basil Hayden's, Jefferson, Old Forester 1910, etc. Just crazy.

[@HueyPPLong]

You mean after 7 shots they finally started liking the whiskey or on different occasions? Lol

[@Trihope]

Great video!! It’s interesting to hear price differences to what’s around here. I’m sure over time prices change as well.

[@magikmunchkin6362]

You really can't go wrong with having Buffalo Trace around as your everyday whisky.

[@HughRogers609]

Finally - someone using social media who gets it. You put your stuff out globally and acknowledge we all don't get USA prices. Price is critical when evaluating quality and value. If I could get Monkey Shoulder for $20-25, I'd think it was a great whisky. But I don't. It's $50+ here, so at that price, it's ordinary. Johnnie Black is cheap and better.

Russell's Reserve Single Barrel is my #1 best bang for the buck. $55 and 110proof. Full bodied and complex. Enjoyed the video (even if I am late to the party).

[@choppersplace]

highland park 12 was my first entry into scotch...love it esp at the price...just has so many nice flavours that don't overdo it...lovely tobacco ending that doesn't overwhelm you. can't believe jameson beat redbreast 12...but i do get it as redbreast 12 being about double the price.

[@therealmattmendoza]

I think Evan Williams is the biggest bang for buck whiskey. It's just a fantastic, if not plain and borderline boring because of how normal it is, bourbon. And you can get it for 12 bux here. Insane. OGD114 is also a fantastic high rye bourbon. Pert near barrel proof for just under $30.

[@sxssxs38]

Def agree about the Evan Williams. People turn their nose at it I think because of the low price point, but its truely a damn good bourbon. Search Corvus Mile for some good acoustic tunes and some whiskey vids.

Evan Williams treats me well and I enjoy it...and it is inexpensive.

[@tubeagespank]

Evan Williams is my go-to "Cocktail Bourbon" and I mean that with nothing but praise and devotion: Such a wonderful libation.

@@tubeagespank 1783 is my go to Bourbon and Coke mixer. Very affordable and mixes well.

[@dirk_gently]

I'm withyou. Evan Williams single barrel vintage is great bang for the buck.

[@soulesailor]

Wild Turkey 101 for best value! Never tried Michter's so I'm looking forward to that, thanks!

[@christopherdeluague385]

WT 101 is the best high rye budget bourbon. I guess I'd say Jim Beam Black is the best high wheat budget bourbon. High Rye and High Wheat Bourbons are basically two different spirits in my opinion.

[@andrewpeeters1288]

@@christopherdeluague385 I fully agree!

[@charlespratt8663]

WT 101 is probably the best of the sub prime bourbons.

on your previous video on Irish whisky, I tried the red Breast 12 and love it. Never bought a bottle of anything over 25.00. This was 60.00. Wee worth it

Hi Gents, wassup? new to the channel and finally found my drink of choice... Whiskey!!! Still a noob though, working on it or should i say my tongue and liver is. loving the content and watching all the way from South Africa... 👍🏼

[@onemon22]

One word "Grants" thanks for posting. I will see you in the next video.

[@cajundrumstik]

I know I'm late responding, but I am part of the group that fell in love with whisk(e)y because of this channel (and I'm only 21!!). I have to say, my first scotch was Monkey Shoulder. Absolutely hated it! Not because of sweetness or too dull, it's because the notes that I got from monkey shoulder reminded me of vomit. It took a while to figure out, but once I did, the bottle was given away to a friend who really enjoys Monkey Shoulder. Hope I didn't ruin anyone else's love for this scotch, but figured I would share my story. Keep drinking!

Try Johnnie Walker black

[@pennywise804]

buffalo trace and eagle rare my go to....4 roses single barrel option 3, sometimes option 3 is elijah craig small batch

[@gyangearon8729]

After watching several of your shows, and some others on whiskey, I need to try Four Roses and Monkey Shoulder. I tend to stick with the Irish whiskeys, but I can't ignore so many speaking well of those two. My current go to for keeping at home for sipping, bang for the buck, is Jameson Black Barrel.
