** 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?

    I love Richard Paterson too. Another cool fact about him is that he helped design the Glencairn glass. It's hard to believe you via doesn't mention all the dark fruit notes in Dalmore tho. I get a lot of plum, grapes, red apples and raspberry. Love that stuff!

    I blame you guys (in a good way) for my new obsession with whiskey. I had been given a bottle of Crown Royale Reserve some years ago and had never opened it till just a few weeks ago. Then I tried a MacAllan 12, followed shortly by purchasing a bottle of Dalmore 15. Thank you for opening my mind and tastebuds to the world of whiskey, and damn you at the same time!! Keep the awesome videos coming!

    It bothers me that he has 50 videos of him greeting his whisky three times, but I haven't seen anything where he explains why. If you look at Highland Park's channel, they have a video about whisky-tasting, and he explains it right off the bat. It was so refreshing to lose all the bombast for unpretentious information.

My first 3 bottles were Laphroaig 10, Dalmore 12, and Classic Laddie, and I couldn't be happier with your recommendations. My thanks to you and a few other great youtube channels (Shout out to Ralfy) for showing the wonderful and non-pretentious side of whisky!

The Orangerie and Peat Monster I can see the appeal of, but I'm mostly treating them like an occasional novelty for now. Thanks again for the recommendation, and as I slowly learn more about Scotch, I discover there's so much more than just the overwhelming burnt bandage punch to the face that I got with my first Scotch ever (Talisker... I told my friend to "surprise me", and she sure as hell did)

    I decided this weekend to expand my collection by another two bottles and picked up a bottle of Monkey Shoulder and Bruichladdich Port Charlotte Scottish Barley Heavily Peated. I tried the PC last night and the Monkey Shoulder today and have to say, in my limited whisky knowledge, that both of these are damn fine. I don't have much to compare either to, only having one other whisky of the two regions, Speyburn 10 for the Speyside and Laphroaig 10 for Islay. The Port Charlotte is definitely less aggressive than the Laphroaig and will probably be what I use to introduce my friend into smoky whisky when they're ready, but I going to have to do a side by side of the Speyburn and Monkey Shoulder tomorrow to see which one I prefer.

    It’s strange, I had the Dalmore 12 straight and it tasted like fig newtons! Then I added some ice and it immediately turned to Black licorice! A few sips later and it turned back to fig newtons. I was also smoking a cigar, so that might of changed things. Either way I loved it. I’ve never experienced that flavor profile in any other whiskey before.

    Ok so i have spent the last 45 minutes going back and fourth trying to decide which is better. I agree with Daniels assesment on the 12 but it is way too close to call...so i blended them...2 parts KA3 and 1 part D12 and you have the perfect Dalmore. You get the fruity sweetness up front from the 12 and the better finish on the back end from the KA3

    Daniel, after watching several Ralfy Reviews, (which, along with modern rouge, i found because of you guys. I'm seeing a trend here) it sounds like many, if not most, whiskies add E150. Does that sound accurite? What are your thoughts?

    Just tried my first glass of Scotch Whiskey. Not much of a Whiskey drinker, but have lost my taste for beer, sort of. Thought I would give Dalmore 12 a try. My first impression hasn't gone so well, I am somewhat saddened by this. I will pick it up and try again . There was some things I liked. The roasted coffee taste was pleasing, I was overwhelmed by the cinnamon but disappointed I was unable to taste the fruits or sweetness. Is there anything I can do to dring out the sweetness? Jason Alexander 1 hour later: Never mind I have drank another glass. I'm getting some smokiness, orange and some cider or apple taste . The cinnamon died down some and coffee is still there. Interesting.

    There's obviously no standard for the definition of a Dad Joke. I think the tribe has become many and varied and we're picking sides based on who we think is the best parent :) Rex is permissive and fun-loving, but Daniel is strong and authoritative. Chad's probably the best of the bunch but I just can't bring myself to think about that threesome :( (I sided with Daniel. In the end, his rule is law)
