Alcohol and cigarettes addiction actually destroyed my life. I could remember several years ago after divorce with my wife which brought me into my disastrous journey on Alcohol and cigarettes. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got diagnosed with cptsd. Not until a friend recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Much respect to mother nature the great magic shrooms.

I was horrifically depressed since childhood. It was relentless. I assumed it would ultimately end me somehow. About twelve years ago I randomly accepted the offer from a friend of a few doses of mushrooms. I did them two consecutive nights alone. First night was pretty mild. The second night? Wow. I saw my depression from every angle, realized much. Next day: depression totally gone. Never came back, never coming back. It's like it's a forest far away I can remember, and could probably find again with enough effort, but it has zero impact on anything in my life or mind. They honestly saved my life and improved it immensely. I never did them again, either. I wish there was a good, organized way to administer them to people who would benefit from them. ,

Go to whiskey bar or look at brewery menus around the local towns to see if they offer a decent selection of interesting whiskeys. Some will even hand out a sampler for you to experience what works for you. I say give it a shot. Even if you're in a relatively rural area, you might find something in the downtown area to explore.

11:55 "it's not necessarily banana-hammock aggressive." That phrase felt violently Rex-esque and I am stealing it.

Funny story. I took my friend to a bar a couple of weeks ago. He's a total newbie whisky drinker and most of the time when he decides to drink aged spirits he picks some kind of flavoured Jim Beam and drinks it with coke or sprite on the rocks. I don't exactly know his experience with Scotch, but I'm a little more into it than him, and can comfortably enjoy neat whiskeys (I've been through drinking with coke as well). Earlier this year , having enough of what I've had so far, knowing how much left is there to discover, I'd decided to try something more premium like Johnny Walker Black Label and even had my first single malt... no surprise... Glenfiddich 12. . Back to the night with my whisky newbie friend aside. Totally out of the blue I felt like I have to go even one step further and have some peated whisky. I had no idea about the names, so I asked the bartender for help and she poured me... an ARDBEG 10! It was fricking AWESOME. My friend was sitting at the table, drinking Jack Daniel's Honey NEAT (surprise!) when all of a sudden he went "let me taste some of what you got there". I moved my glass of Ardbeg towards him to let him smell and have a sip. I saw the smell pushed him away from the glass but not as sharply as with the blends, he went for a one gentle sip. I could clearly see his mind getting blown away by the taste. When he could finally say anything he was brief - "that's the best thing I've ever had". Left me speechless :D From cheap blends with coke on the rocks to neat smokey whisky in one night. That's a progress!

Ardbeg Uigaedail.

Associating flavor and nostalgia definitely played into my whiskey journey. I never liked Islay scotch until my friend and mentor, who adored them, passed away. Suddenly, the category took on a whole new meaning and I understood it. Now I have a shelf full of them, and a daughter named Isla.

That part where you mentioned nostalgia. I love that toasted oak flavor and I especially love that toasted oak smell in a freshly drank dram of bourbon. It gives me an uncertain nostalgic feeling of being at a lake house of a relatives'.

I can identify with the recognition part of the whiskey. I have always loved honey and when I drink different honey whiskeys I can't tell you so much about the non honey notes (other than broad general strokes) but the honey comes out strong for me and I can tell the differences in the honeys used. I didn't get the flavors that people pull out of whiskey until I started tasting the honey ones, especially back to back. Being able to pull out the subtle honey differences makes me get how people pull out the other flavors in whiskey if I had built up my pallet for them. Same as in the video pulling out the smoke because of BBQ where a person is familiar with smoke differences. I know most honey whiskey is not real whisky because the proof is too low, but I love them. Personal favorite is Wild Turkey Honey. I like to drink it neat.

These videos where you guys introduce whiskey to people are great. You should keep them up if possible. I didn't really have anyone to introduce me to whiskey and had knowledge of it.

I was a huge whiskey hater up until I tried the Laphroaig 10. This was exactly what I needed to change my mind. Thanks for doing these, they definitely helped me to find my match!!

Great banter at the end. Is anything more hipster than claiming to not be a hipster? :)

...claiming not to be a hipster while wearing a V-neck shirt. That’s more hipster.

That's ridiculously stupid logic going by that logic everybody is a fucking hipster then because who would go around saying they are a hipster

Them: "Is this one rounded or pointed?" Me: "Yes"

just so entertaining! I love whiskey, but I'd watch this just for the fun of it! Great job guys!

Love these videos. Its really cool to see someone find something they like.

Give him LAPHROIAG! It's so damn smooth and delicious.

Rex and Daniel ended up crawling into a bottle and to never be seen again after finding out their hipsters

This was great fun. I'm not a whiskey drinker myself, but oddly I find your videos very entertaining and interesting.

Nice trick to give him lots of blends and simple whiskies, and then the Caol Ila 12 to give him a taste of the great stuff just to finish with the majestic Lagavulin 16. Masterful lineup to convert anyone into good whisky!

Daniel is way more hipster. Black v-neck t-shirt, skinny-ish jeans, beard. Although, now that I think about it, Rex does the man bun thing sometimes. That might be the hipsteriest thing you can hipster. Great video though! It's fun to see some whiskey noobs figure out what they like.

Ha, awesome to see, this was me the first time I tried Lagavulin, instantly reminded me of bbq, and loved it!

Oh dude, I'm a bourbon guy but I straight up geeked out when he liked smoke. I love it.

Reminds me of GTA V when Michael was calling Trevor a hipster.

Great video. Love the concept and the hipster observations at the end are pure gold.

Well as another newbie im trying all of the little bottles of Bourbon to see which I like. This was helpful love the channel

Rex you're wearing sunglasses indoors... that's definitely hipster xD Now that I have your attention, I got a question :) I'm from a small(and considered poor) country in Europe, and I always had an argument with my friend wether big whiskey brands (J. Walker etc.) sell different whiskey here, then in other richer countries. So I always claimed no big brand would afford to do that, they have a name to keep, and cheep whiskey is just bad everywhere. However we decided to test that, and brought a bottle of JW Red Label from London. I bough one from the most famous liquor store here, and I had one more at home, from a big supermarket here. Guess what? The two bottles bought here both tasted awful, like strong spirt. But the one from London nothing like this. It had darker color and tasted more like whiskey than a pharmaceutical. So WDYT, do big brands import worse products in smaller/poorer countries, or I just had a bad luck ?

I think you bought counterfeit bottles with similar (or possibly exactly the same) labels. Is your country a member of the EU?

@@MrNikolidas It is, yes. But it's popular with cheap and counterfeit alcohol, specially in the summer.

So cool to see a beginner be so into smokey scotch! Just shows the difference in taste and association makes a whisky not usually recommended to beginner be perfect for some.

Just gotta love how he's instantly hooked to Lagavulin. 🥳🤩 This one builds up real nice.

Daniel has the musician excuse for the few quirks that get attributed to hipsters. Rex looks like he is typecast as the dude but not trying for it. So I rule Rex is hipster adjacent but is riding that line, hard.

I can’t help but agree 100%. Rex is a total hipster on paper but he’s just not there attitudinally. Hipster adjacent sounds so correct

Yea, I use it to Marinate things also, like myself. LOL

I love how nice and supportive you are. That's why I like this channel

Lagavulin 16 was the first scotch I ever had. I was instantly hooked and my preference for scotch now is pretty much anything peated, especially Islay.

Sometimes the people can make or break a whisky session.
