** 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 like the Old Gran-Dad Bonded 100 proof. It's young enough that it isn't going to choke you to death with the wood tannin in the finish. It is a high rye mash bill and it's high proof and spiciness makes it perfectly compatible with ice for a hot day. While it's depth isn't going to boggle your mind for hours, at $20 it is a whiskey bargain.

The basics are always good. Wild Turkey is a good foundation bourbon, good for mixing. Wild Turkey 101, Longbranch, and Rare Breed are beginning to step up to the next levels of quality with more complexity. Sometimes though you just want a baseline bourbon. Wild Turkey was my entry into bourbon and I still like it. Though now with Ezra Brooks 90 it is a definite competition in my humble opinion. May you all enjoy the whiskey you love!

I cheered in the beginning when Rex finally got a new shirt, praised the whisk(e)y gods when Rex developed "The Mooch Necklace", had my mind blown and marveled at Daniel's intelligence when he dropped the epiphanic "I just bought new underwear" wisdom bomb, and laughed until I sprayed Glendronach 18 all over my monitor at the Holy Whistlepig tale, but now am empty inside with the worst case of Binge Watchers' Remorse. Oh well, back to the beginning, just to see if I missed anything. You know, for "The Science".

I could not find the first bottle. But i did find the 101 at 46$, and the Rye at 72$. They also had the rare breed bourbons from Wild turkey at 88$ So even a rare breed special edition of wild turkey is somewhat affordable here in Denmark. thats not bad. So even though it might be considered "budget" in the states, it is actually something special over here, mainly to do with supply and demand

Around my area, Wild Turkey 101 is the mainstay, and it's priced usually in the 22 to 30 dollar range with WT 81 usually priced at the same price point. The large liquor stores sell the WT 81 under 16 dollars while the bigger box retailers actually try to sell the WT 81 at a higher price than WT 101 simply because they order a smaller quantity of WT 81 to sell over WT 101.

I did a blind taste test of Crown Royal Black, Wild Turkey 101, Maker's Mark, and Jack Daniels No. 7, at first I chose the Maker's Mark, but then wavered, and went to the Wild Turkey. I'm no connoisseur, so I was probably judging based on smoothness. But I had at #1 Wild Turkey, #2 Maker's Mark, #3 Jack Daniels, and at a distant 4th, the Crown Royal.

Just tried wild turkey 101 based on this review. Why am I tasting like they added flavoring to it? It almost seems fake? Like fake Carmel? Or fake something I'm not sure. Still working on identifying my tastes. Comparing it to EH Taylor, or Buffalo trace, or angels envy it just seems as though it's the "fake flavored" bourbon. What am I tasting that is causing that? Is it truly fake? 😂

Have you tried mixing 101 and Rare Breed? I was running low on both and wanted a sipper without feeling too much burn and felt the Rare Breed lacked something when I added a touch of water, yet 101 lacked something in general but was decent... I mixed 1oz of WT 101 and 1 oz of Rare Breed and really quite like it. I love 81 as a mixer with ginger ale... nothing else other thin a high rye canadian rye seems to work as well in the mix... Buffalo Trace was sooo washed out yet plain old WT stood up in the mix... which is what you want in a mixer... I tried 101 in a mix but hate myself for doing it... especially at the price... 101 here is generally north of $45 Luckily lately I've found Rare Breed and 101 for $39 so have been indulging... I quite like the mix of 101 and Rare Breed 50/50 (haven't tried other precentages)

There is finger lickin chicken and then there is kickin chicken 101. Had more expensive whisky's and bourbons and I drift back to 101 every time. As for Jack Daniels at the same price it is a pure coker. KC 101 is nice with a bit of water or an odd ice cube.

I love this channel. Daniel and Rex have an amazing chemistry. Keep up the great reviews guys. I would like to know if you can review the Four Roses Single Barrel. From what I know, and from the majority perspective I've heard, that's the only bourbon that comes as close to the deliciousness of Angel's Envy (my personal favorite). I'd love to get your opinion!

Costco makes a 101 whiskey, Tennessee Bourbon, for around the same price, but the bottle is so much smaller than Wild Turkey's. I love to put a shot of this in a mug of 11% alcohol content beer, makes a great boiler maker.

While you Folks are doing Wild Turkey, are you familiar with their Russell's Reserve. It comes on a 10 year old version and single barrel. They also Russell's Reserve Rye versions.

For years I have enjoyed Wild Turkey 101 but recently I purchased 2 bottles with the same lot number and had a very off taste. I have been in contact with their costumer service and they indicated that this has been a recent issue and assured me that they would replace my purchase with a replacement. It has been a month and they have yet to make good on their promise. Customer service is key to any product, and will be switching to Maker’s Mark.

Just a note you missed, I believe, the only two bourbons made without "GMO" corn are Four Roses, and Wild Turkey..... This is a significant fact.....

Its the fact that the more natural stuff takes more craftsmanship and has a little more character. The gmo stuff seems to cheapen the experience! The non gmo stuff is a more natural taste, what whisky is MEANT to taste like! And yeah there is a difference!

Ok I'm new to whiskey and been taking yalls advice/guidance and decided to buy my first scotch can't haven't been able to justify a Delmars yet but I did go with Dewars 12 instead of Dewars white label after yalls fairly negative review of it. And wanted to see if y'all could review Dewars 12 or atleast comment on it. I feel it might become my "daily" atleast for now.

I think it should be obvious that 101 is better than 81, however we should really talk up the awesomeness of 101 in its own right. A classic that any household should never go without.

Wild turkey was always considered good. The last couple decades for some reason other newer brands got popular. I think wild turkey suffers from being around and a solid choice for so long. Jim bean is another one that suffers from familiarity

Started drinking 101 due to the fact nobody ever asked for a drink. Then i started liking it. Still drinking it, still love it. Is it the best whiskey ever? No. Its a damn good drink. Reminds me of pipe tobacco like carter hall or prince albert. Is it the best? No. You can buy it at a gas station, but its always satisfying and just what you want for a budget product. I really enjoy 101 and is my go to, but it is no angel. While i profess my fondness for this particular drink many will dissagree, and that is good. We all have diffent tastes. Bourbon comes in many flavors for the many different types out there. Like religion bourbon can find its following in a specific sect. Then there are the true faithful. No matter the brand just appreciate it.
