RARE WHISK[E]Y FRIDAY! May 8th, 2020

[@MrLawjet]

As a step adult that has red hair I find your step child jokes very funny. If we can’t laugh at things then where are we in life. Never change your humor.

[@sjm2833]

The video honestly jumped up a few notches every time they got more and more excited about the whiskeys. Their enthusiasm is contagious

[@Jake-jl8lt]

Living in Indiana has never been sweeter knowing that I have a bottle and access to these fine Starlight Distillery whiskeys at anytime I choose 🤴🥃

[@nicknorthcutt7680]

I love your guy's arguments they never get old 😂😂

[@kenshin21bob]

Rex is the master of expressing the taste of a whiskey through facial expressions.

[@maxphillips8895]

Way to go guys! This is one of the best you put out in a while. It has all the characteristics that I come here for...the clowns in a room full of whiskey, but also just getting blown away by something and seriously talking about all the little details. (A mint hole?). That’s why we like whiskey because it gives us something to think about keep it up I’ll see you again at the end of dry week

Love the content and editing as always, good work Dan

[@Justin-nr1mj]

I suspected that I was 'hate watching' these videos. The fact that neither of you had a pocket knife confirms my gut feeling.

[@NicholasSlabaugh]

I love the Starlight Single Barrel. Had it at a Bourbonfest here in Indiana and immediately bought a bottle.

[@cougarkitt]

This channel has introduced me to many whisk(e)ys... However it has also introduced me to "the girl from impanema" via Daniels rendition of it that pops up now and then in these reviews. Well done that man. Smashing stuff!

[@ryanandres8523]

Hey guys! Love returning to this video. Went to starlight today and picked up their Double Oaked, Sherry finished small batch bottled in bond, and their new single barrel ( blakes pick ) and they just keep getting better and better.

[@Gtraxx1]

The editing starting at 5:16 had me dying lol. Y'all are so entertaining.

[@johnrosenbalm8645]

Welp, I'm glad that Mooch Man and Dram Boy enjoyed episode two of Indiana non-MGP offerings. I'm doing my dry week a week early, so I can't drink these along with you. Out of curiosity, how many bottles gets me sainted? I am searching for more whenever I can. stay tuned for Episode 3, Attack of the Skullet. Stay safe!

I just wanna thank yall for bringing me to whiskey. (Other than Fireball and gas station southern comfort lmao) Happy Dry Week

[@steffanwamsley7575]

Hopefully you have local Distilleries and can give them a try. I'm curious what's near you. I'm with you, this channel took me from dabbling to appreciating whiskey.

[@CarlitosWagon]

Austin Murph same here, drank the same 2 Irish whiskeys until these guys opened the door to everything

[@austinmurph9248]

steffan wamsley cincinnati. The bourbon world is my oyster lmao.

[@johnrosenbalm8645]

Hey, Daniel if you really do want another bottle of the bourbon... I could make that happen for you. Well, update. Just stopped in where I picked it up. Bourbon is sold out (sorry Daniel) there are about 4 bottles left of each of the corn and wheat whiskeys. And they are 39.99 on the shelf.

Thanks for another great episode. Would Y'all ever consider doing an episode talking about the different sherry casks?

[@gilbd]

Good Job guys - high marks for entertainment. The Ironroot I'm nursin' makes it even better ...

[@contentioushackery]

I think it might be nice if some MB with some cabinet making skills who lives near the vault would make a wee platform to replace two books Daniel uses. It should have a drawer to hold that nice knife that MB handmade for Daniel to open bottle with and a shelf in front to hold the bottles while the glasses sit on top.

[@Sea-Jay]

Worked at Hubers and live within a few miles of the farm. Love all their products - a little pricey tho. The bottled in bonds are solid! Great to see a local place in the Vault

[@akareject]

Rex better be wearing a tuxedo t-shirt in the next episode!

[@Jake-jl8lt]

Now this is what I've been talking about! I have been recommending and posting about Starlight Distillery whiskeys and asking for Daniel & Rex tasting and giving their opinions for months, and even posted my dram of them on the Whiskey Tribe facebook, and all I got from many of my fellow MB's was comments that Daniel and Rex wouldn't like or care to drink these whiskeys from Starlight Distillery. I'm happy to see they love these Indiana whiskeys!

[@ColinRichardsonMUSIC]

Well, guess I need to go to Indiana when this is over

[@I_NeedCoffee]

Buckwheat honey is a dark funky honey. Has some of the funk that molasses or sorghum has. Also, the new person doing the editing is doing a great job. Love the bits of comic relief that is put in now. (Tootsie Roll)

[@qthemusiq4461]

How about a "popcorn" bourbon ? Could it be done?

[@perciusmandate]

I live right by Starlight and went to high school with some of the Hubers. They make pretty darn good whiskey and AWESOME wine. Ask somebody to get you a bottle of Pop's Reserve. I'm not even a wine guy and I love that wine.

[@cher.1878]

Would you been open to buying a bottle or two to ship? Could definitely add on a fee!

[@perciusmandate]

@@cher.1878 I'm gonna buy a crate the next time it releases. It only comes out in the fall and is usually sold out before Thanksgiving

[@zacknewman6697]

Huber's is local to me and its almost a religous pilgrimage everyone makes once a year around here. Glad someone else likes their whiskey as much as i do.

[@braydenfrazier1344]

Have you guys tried the Breckenridge Dark Arts Malt Mash? Recently took a trip there and was able to pickup the last bottle from batch 5!

[@stacieh4023]

Would love to see a review of The Liberator. It’s a small batch Irish Whiskey finished in Tawny Port casks. I just got a bottle, it’s definitely unique

[@nick115311]

Live a few hours away and was able to track down a store that had it in stock. Ordered all three! Just FYI the distillery does not have them in stock though they have other exclusives in stock there.

[@realrich4641]

I've always wanted to try a Sherry bourbon aswell as a peated one!

[@briankay0357]

OK tribe, I've got a question about legal requirements for finishing bourbons in other casks. Daniel's comment about the sherry cask reminded me. In some of Whiskey Tribe's vids, it sounded like bourbon could still be called bourbon even when finished in other (sherry, port...etc) casks. In other videos it was explicitly said that bourbon cannot be called bourbon when finished...a little clarity would be awesome.

[@jimmunger8658]

I’ve never seen you two gush so much I’m sure this distillery and those who sent it to you are thrilled. Wasn’t iron Root doing some things with old varieties of corn. Enjoy dry week

[@liamnoel332]

I grew up 10 minutes from Starlight (or Huber's as the resturant/winery is called) and the temperature down here is incredibly high during the summer. Also I absolutely love every one of their spirits I have had. Apart from maybe the blackberry whiskey because of how sweet it is

[@lancestoops975]

Huber’s is 25ish min from Louisville, KY so plenty of bourbon options in this area, of course, so they had to make it well...and they did. If you come to KY for the bourbon trail, give them a visit. Awesome place.

[@smytree]

Found your channels last week, you guys are my new best friends. Love this.

[@ghostrx12]

Neat, I used to work for big red about a decade ago. Didn't know hubers was working on whiskey.

[@WilliamSmith-kv3kg]

You guys should deffo try gelstons Irish single malt, it’s available on amazon, and in my opinion the standard bottle is the best, be excited to see what you think

[@garystreet4260]

Love seeing all the Indiana (none MGP) whiskeys being reviewed!

[@possum297]

Can you guys please make a playlist for the bottles in the corner

[@boomanh63]

Starlight is damn near in Kentucky, very close to the border ... maybe same regionish having the impact? Just a thought, not a whisky guru by any stretch of the imagination ...

[@bdylanfan90]

Now I'm questioning if being a step child has lead me to be so interested in whiskey

Plain Daniel has a mission. For now, I'll just have to suffer through my just-down-the-street Westland selections.

[@wesleybayles7626]

I'm looking at grabbing a bottle of Westland as a grad present to myself (I live like twenty minutes east of Seattle and have never had Westland yet!). I can't tell whether to go with the classic American Oak or try for a funky adventure. What are your thoughts?

[@bryandambra6713]

The absolute indifference that Daniel has for Rex's problems was magnificent and should be aspired to.

Rough ballpark figure how much is that room worth with all that whiskey in it? - assuming they were all full bottles.

[@deerjerf1]

In regard to the Starlite Wheated whiskey, you guys didn't mention the "dry" texture on the palate that you've been wondering was an attribute of Wheat whiskey. Was it a note that you may have forgotten to mention, or was it just non-existent in that particular whiskey?

[@ScotchloverintheStates]

This is the most I've seen them argue and have different opinions out of all their episodes this is hilarious 😂😂😂😂

Do you guys experience whisky burnout? It feels like all the whiskies I've had recently have been uninteresting and it has been a chore to finish a dram. I guess it's just in time for dry week, but still, makes me a bit sad.

[@vagabondwastrel2361]

This is the difference in humor. Rex will take your truck and get it painted bright pink. Daniel will invite you over for a bonfire and your burned out truck is the fire ring, then as you stand there in shock offers you a marshmallow with a stick that is slightly too short, then when both hands are full tosses you your keys.
