** 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: http://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?

Go eat some bread, Daniel.
I totally do the fungible thing 🙂
Last month I was attending my regular Whisky Friday tasting, but the rep couldn’t make it due to a family emergency. The store was busy, so the staff couldn’t take time out to lead the tasting. I was familiar with the brand (having sampled it a few times and had talked at length with rep on previous visits), so I started leading the tasting.
The conversation drifted into oaking vs aging, and I was able to spout knowledge gleaned from the channel as if I was some sort of learned expert. I thought about referencing Daniel, but decided not to.
I dont get iodine either. I do get dandelion and burdock fizzy drink (people in the uk and the northeast of the uk will know). Its amazing, thats all i get, and that is fine, its an amazing whisky for the money. Reminds me a lot of glenlivet nadurra first fill bourbon cask. Great great value from knockdhu
Without pound cake, there would be no Trifle!

Need quick help! Dalmore 2006 vintage, Nikka from the barrel, anCnoc 12 or Highland park 12 as a Christmas gift?
Your comment section is getting heavy guys so if you manage to find this comment answer me this.. Was there a cork sound over the word shift? LMAO the craziest shift ive ever had right? Shift work should be censored i agree haha cheers
You assholes, please stop making me use my precious money to buy whiskeys. I tried 5 bottles before I made up my mind to buy laphroaig 10. It is amazing. Reminded me of all the wood I burned for fun when I was little.

Well you learn something new every day. First person fungible. I have been talking about whiskey’s for months now like I’m a freaking expert to everyone I know. About 90% of everything I know comes from the show, but that is my personal knowledge now. I do tell them to check out the show though if they would like to learn more.

I actually prefer the distillery’s real name, Knockdhu. Though that’s mostly because I find the name easier to pronounce.
#TheHobbit #AnUnexpectedPoundcake
been drinking this for awhile knockdhu kicks major tail.glen garioch 12 is awesome too.
Go eat some f*cking bread !! LOL !! Now I gotta get me some an-Ca-nock
Thanks for recommending the 12. My new fav Speyside. Cheers from the UK
Don’t hear Rex complaining “what about the A you forgot the A” in Laphroaig.
Really enjoy your videos but you guys seems to dislike all of the whiskeys I like except Knob. I usually keep 1792 small batch around as my house whisky. Will you please shit on that one too, to make it a sweep? Maybe I can switch to vodka or something
REX you missed the perfect time to say “I drink and I know things”
If you two fuckers ever come to Denmark, I have GOT to meet you!
Nice video. Ancnoc was one of the first whiskies I ever got. I was in Inverness Scotland and we walked into a whisky shop. We asked for whiskies that would be hard to find in the States, and the lady recommended the 12. I really liked it. I walked out of that shop with the Ancnoc, a Benromach, and an Auchentoshen. My buddy got Caol Isla. It turns out, none of these are so tough to find here, but I sure enjoyed being introduced to scotch in Scotland. Thanks to the US Navy!
When is the pewdiepie video coming!?
Ardbeg Kelpie Committee release next??
anCnoc is distilled at Knockdhu. They changed the name of the whisky to anCnoc because the thought(think) that Knockdhu is too similar to Knockando, which is another distillery in Scotland.
I have had the 12 and it’s fine but definitely a starter whisky. I find it a lighter version of the much more maritime Old Pulteney 12, which I don’t think you’ve reviewed?
#TeamPoundcake
POUND CAKE FUCK YA!
I’m thinking I need to get my hands on some pound cake and Lagavulin and make some smoky cake.
Pound Cake is awesome, but how can it beat Red Velvet or Tres Leches?
#PoundCakeIsBestCake
Bread is awesome too.
