My favorite episode thus far.

yes - this is for science - while pouring more whiskey and Rex is looking at the camera and smiling :-)

The mooch moment at 10:22-25 is Rex working on a whole other level of mooch expertise ... I am stunned and amazed

I broke down and bought the purple Longmorn 16 this morning. I went to another store in the afternoon and found the original Longmorn 16! Seriously?!? How could I not buy it too after this episode??? I think I'll never open it...

There you go with walnuts again. Tried the Bulliet again and I'm still getting walnuts. It's become my third gravitating body of flavor in the Bulliet Bourbon. Hoping to find some Longmorn 16 and give it a try.

Bought my first bottle of Longmorn in TX in '95 when The Number One Son was just a nipper. Went back for more and it was not to be found. Over the next five years I moved to SC and AZ. Everywhere I went, I searched for Longmorn. It wasn't until I moved to HI in 2000 that I found a bottle. One. In a Davidoff store in the Ward Warehouse complex. I bought it immediately. Nursed it for a few years, and when it was gone, there was no more to be had. Until I was tricked into going on a cruise in 2007 and found it on the bottom shelf of a duty-free shop in Progresso, Mexico. That lasted for a while and then famine returned once again. In 2010, Blanpied said he was going to Scotland. I told him to buy a bottle of Longmorn and I would reimburse him whatever it cost. I was in the pink, or the drink, once again. A few years later I scored two of the last three bottles in Austin. A year or so later it suddenly started showing up on the shelf without fanfare as if it had always been there. Always chalked it up to poor distribution. Now it sounds like they're going for an exclusive, scarcity model. On purpose. Go figure.

Just cracked a bottle. I think I have a new favourite. That pepper at the end! Oh man!

I had the original 16......it was even a step above this....was sitting on my shelf for years, unopened....gifted to a mate...he never drinks without me present......in my top 5 whiskeys of all time....it is incredible....sipping a Blandoch 11 (13-May-22) while watching this review some 5 years later...i remember your channel when you had 70k subs.....your whisky collection is insane.....easily $100k

Thankyou Dan for expressing in the best layman's way. That's why I follow you and Rex. FYI, I bought a bottle of Longmorn Purple to try for myself. Sure it will be great.

So I’ve been watching your videos for sometime now, and this is by far my favorite. I think I’ve watched it a least 10 times. And I was lucky enough to find a bottle of Longmorn 16. It’s the most money I’ve spent on liquor ever. And I’m so thankful for it. Thank you for my newest obsession. Don’t forget Sober week is coming up. Fran

damn. yet another unobtainable Scotch to add to my list. you guys are ruining me lol

Amazing channel guys. You have mastered the double hosted whisky video when so many others have struggled. I will have to send you some Kiwi whisky one day. From Christchurch New Zealand.

Third gravity thing happened to me with glenfarcias 10 cause I started with buying 10, 12, 17, and 21 (because of you guys) mostly sir Daniel but so I open the 17 first and then the 10 and thought it was sub par but came back to it later and well all have their own personality… and enjoyable. Thank you Whisky Vault and Total Wine and more 🤤 DRINK ON

Third Gravitating Body.......This channel and Rex!!!!! Love what you guys do!!! Cheers

would you look at that! Daniel, You have reached a new level in your som' journey! You were talking whilst pouring! They grow up so fast don't they Rex?

You guys are growing so fast im scared youre gonna become mainstream XD but congrats and may the whiskey forever flow

This video has made me buy a bottle of the Longmorn 25 Year Old Boutique-y Whiskey Company bottling! Can't wait to finally try Longmorn!

I hadn't heard of Longmorn either until I saw you pull it out in Modern Rogue. After hearing how much you liked it I immediately went out and luckily found one at my local Total Wine. It's the 16yr in the green bottle and I loved it as well. I tried to buy more but they only had one bottle left, which I bought. I even had a friend in SoCal pick me up a 21yo Longmorn from Duncan Taylor that is incredible. I may have to send you a sample of that bc it's heavenly.

I'd be interested in hearing your take on Old Pultney scotch. In case you aren't familiar, the distillery is located on an island right off the coast, which gets a constant sea-breeze. I'm not sure how much of it was the placebo effect from the bottle saying it, but I got a delightful briny finish that's unlike anything I've ever had.

Like a blister in the sun Daniel!

Daniel, you just broke the whisky drinkers rules on Longmorn - one does not talk about Longmorn. Its much better just kept amongst ourselves. Love the old 16 I still have a spare bottle, just incase it disappears.

The three body problem is an example of a chaotic stochastic system, which is found all over science and studied by chaos theory. It also contributes to why is hard to predict the weather. Might want to work something like that into future explanations. Or not. It's up to you really.

This video was much needed. Thanks for letting me escape my day for a bit. cheers

Rex more talking, I know this episode is from 2017, but haters gonna hate. I just ordered a bottle of Longmorn 16 (purple bottle), for my birthday. I'll take fantastic since in 2019 I don't assume to be able to find and afford the original work of art. Can't wait to visit Texas in 2020 for a conference. Will be taking some extra time to visit you guys... well your area... tasting room... maybe can time it right to take a class!

I have a bottle of the old Longmorn 16 and the new. I haven't found a reason to crack the seal on the old one but really want to know the flavor. "An unparallelled work of art" sounds pretty good.

I have also found a toast especially for Rex "May the winds of fortune sail you, May you sail a gentle sea. May it always be the other guy who says, “this drink’s on me.”

If you ever find yourself in gothenburg. Eat at THE GOLDEN DAYS. They have a seperate book for whisk(e) y and beer. They even have Longmorn 15. Proud 19 year old fan here. I turn 20 this mounth and in sweden you can then buy boose leagaly.

Love your enthusiasm for the old longmorn16 Daniel...I have just purchased 2 bottles at auction...one to keep and one to drink . I have just started doing my own whisky reviews (badly). I think there getting a little better I think....I am building up to reviewing the longmorn16 in the next week or so I am just getting to know this whisky well enough to do it justice....once again I love watching your vlogs...hope you get to catch my review soon lads....

wow wow wow pump those brakes team!! Thats two days in a row with flawless intro delivery. You guys going pro?? :D hehe

I have a 15 (labelled as a Highland not a Speyside), a 16, and a Distiller's Choice, and oh man I love'em all. Longmorn is second only to Lagavulin 16, in my humble opinion.

Nice review. I want to warn folks that the purple box 16 is kinda trash at its current price point. Stick with something from Aberlour if you are going for this type of expression and can't source independent or discontinued bottles. Cheers from H Town.

Hey guys! Would be interested to see you do comparison between Johnnie Walker Blue label, and Johnnie Walker Green label. I have heard many people say that the green label is a superior whisky and it is less than half the price of the "overrated" Blue label. I have watched your review on the green label but would like to see how you guys think it stacks up against the blue label.

If any of those original 16s are up for sale/trade, let me know! I fell in love with it just as they went out of production. Was able to special order the new "luxury" release and going to crack open tonight.

11 bottles of longmorn under your stairs ....Hmm I didn't see Rex pour that into 5 gallon water jug 🤔

just blew my mind with that physics stuff

So while ya'll are in scotland you should try to get ahold of the couple that signed the glenmorangie bottle and see if he'd let you interview him for the channel

I was following Terry's argument, but it lacks the next level of logic. Daniel is definitely a mooch. However, Rex mooches off Daniel. Therefore, Rex is the master and Daniel but the apprentice.

Hey Daniel... you know what... the longhorn 16 years original, it's still readily available in Belgium about 15 miles from my home, I just bought 6 bottles this morning :)

Down to my last 2 bottles of the old 15yo, a great malt and was $45 back in the day!...and it is BETTER than the 16yo.

I found 2 bottles of the Original 16 yesterday for $116 a piece...I literally cried with joy

This is my favorite review. After visiting speyside this last fall, I'm kicking myself for not visiting this distillery.

Thanks to you two, I have started my own long journey down the road of scotch, and love it. Because you have opened my eyes to the lovely world of things like Dalmore, Oban, Glenlivet, and even Ardbeg; I'd like to make a donation from my local distiller, Rogue. They are an oceanside distillery in Newport, OR and do everything in house and make a damn good single malt, they also have their dead guy and make a rye. Let me know what you'd like to try and how I might get it to you, Cheers!

King's X, now there's a band I haven't heard in a long time!

Terry well said, Daniel is lucky bastard.

Screw breaking into a liquor store. Mental note, stairs closet in Daniels oriface...

I LOVE bourbon and a lot of ryes, and just about every Irish whiskey...having said that i am having a tough time appreciating scotch the way i could/should. I have tried monkey shoulder, many glenmorangies, dalmore 12, Mcallen and a few others. While I did enjoy them for the most part I "didn't fall in love" with any of them... If you could point me in the direction of one of these mythical longmorns of yesteryear, or perhaps be willing to trade one of your own for a ridiculously delicious whiskey of your choosing I would be forever grateful...I would also throw in a truly magnificent head accessory as a gesture of genuine appreciation! LOL

My parents live in Longmorn. The distillery is really close to Ben Riach.

Kings X. SRV. You two are beginning to reveal your depth. Drinking whiskey, having this tribe, combining music of spiritual cult following.....you're slowly indoctrinating us all into your creation. What are you plans, Sirs!!? Where are you taking us? What will we become? (as if knowing and perhaps not agreeing would stop us from following you anyway) Good to know Rex can take the full assault of his acclaimed throne and come out on top. Daniel seems to know his fate and embraces it without shame or regret....well, as long as there's whisky involved. Great vid guys. Tell Chad thanks as well.

Guys I love the old Longmorn 16 the new bottle is ok but not like the old!!! Am trying to buy as much as I can but its becoming a struggle to get hold of the old bottling!!!

Thrist!? I know I am. Great video guys!

as we all know, getting whiskey for free generally qualifies one as a mooch. but i recently got to take home a nearly full bottle of the classic laddie from work and im wondering if that counts as a mooching or was it simply just work since i was paid for it??

These original bottles are going for 300e.. I think I will be fine with buying the new release from regular stores..

Love the toast at the end boys!! I'm going to memorize that one!

I may have to pick this up now. I saw 1 single bottle at the store the other day. Got to admit, I didn't knew much about Longmorn and now I fear the bottle is gone.... :S

Fucking love Kings X. Never heard anyone else talk about them.

That is probably one of my favorite toasts

... Some one Should write down the 10-30 Seconds about the Tastingnodes they tell in the Video! Don't get me wrong. I come here Everyday! Including Sunday, to be like, Dang it, no video :D And i love the Storys we get told about the Whisky or the everything happening and stuff. By the way, I would love if Rex get his Whisky at the begining of the Video, so he Shuts up and i can get more Story time XD But to get back to the beginning, i also like the tasting nodes that are hidden in this videos like in a where is waldo book :P

The Longmorn Distiller's Choice is always on offer on Amazon. Have you tried this NAS version they've put out? I've kind of stayed away from it until now, no particular reason, I've just spent my money on other things in that price range. Also, is Rex the third gravitating body? A KZfaq channel with Daniel and whisky... good. A KZfaq channel with Daniel, whisky and Rex (aka the mooch)...magic. Or maybe not.

I. Love. Your. Hat. I have a thing for "cowboy" hats, in almost all their forms. that is a pretty hat. Almost as pretty as the slick hairdo on Darth Mooch

Okay, I found the old Longmorn 16. Rex, how was it? You didn't actually give your opinion and Daniel is a fan, so the emotions might be clouding the verdict.

Best damn episode yet!

This channel is like a 3rd gravitational body!

Ha, great reference to King's X. I was thinking Dream Theater or Pixies as other examples of 'bands that only other bands/musicians listen to.'

Hi: Love this episode. How does someone get the older Longmorn 16??? Any help would be appreciated Thanks John

It's not exactly that three gravitating bodies create unpredictable futures in the sense of something totally unexpected happening. It's that the system cannot be modeled precisely since the equations describing the motion of a three-body system have no closed-form solution. (That means, you never end up with a simple X+Y=Z type of equation where you can plug known values into one end and have an answer pop out on the other.) Instead, the system must be solved numerically, using computers to rapidly cycle through ever more precise approximations to the correct answers until it converges on some stable solution within a set tolerance. Since our computers are now very, very fast and can solve these equations in seconds rather than weeks, we can now model this kind of motion with fair accuracy. What tends to throw the thing out of whack is less the equations themselves than components of the rocket performing within acceptable tolerance, but being "off" by enough to perturb the system. (Simply because there's a limit to how precise we can make any kind of device, no matter how well-engineered.) Even so, the corrections are fairly small, not representative of some kind of paradigmatic change. So I'm not sure that's the best metaphor. (Fun fact: "computer" was once a job title, not a device. The women profiled -- with fair accuracy -- in the film "Hidden Figures" were computers. Their job was to take these equations and tediously crank out cycle after cycle after cycle of approximate solutions.)

Damn it Daniel I want to know the story about the hat

gonna have to find me a bottle of the longmorn 16 now... I NEED TO KNOW WHAT SORCERY IS IN THAT WHISKEY!

Every now and then you guys let the ass hat veneer slip and we see a little more of the profesional. Just watched 9:20 - to 12:10about 8 times!

Daniel's used to feeling leather on his bottom.

Hey guys, what does that note say that's taped to the bottle of writer's tears? I can make out Jon, but that's it.

So, when you tell us about the hat, also let us know if Jon got his Writer's Tears... LOL

How long till the Longmorn 23 review is up!?

I'm struggling.. I'm going to finally splurge a little on a fancier bottle. So, I am no currently chosing between the new Longmorn 16, and Hibiki Harmony. The Japanese whiskey scene is completely new to me and holds a certain level of novelty, which is intriguing. But I've heard so many good things about Longmorn.. Brace yourselves.. in my country the Hibiki, is 85e and 96 for the Longmorn. Thoughts?

Hi guys!, I have been watching you for a while now and have learned a lot from you. I have always been a fan of whisky and mostly speyside whiskys. I have happened to have an old Longmorn 16 and loved it, but then didn't realised how rare it now is. I have now picked up a Longmorn master distillers choice. I think its really good, would love to know what you guys think of it if you have tried it?

i recently purchased Monkey shoulder and i must say, i love it. it is such a nice blended malt. I have only just gotten into whiskey and have tried a variety i like. Are there any scotch's you would recommend for someone that has a £50-£60 per bottle budget and likes smoky scotch but also Irish whisky?

Hey Daniel why do all single malt whisky have corks while blended whisky don't, is there a reason?

I've heard knob Creek makes a good Rye....

Anyone know any stores in London or Scotland (Edinburgh) that I could find this?? Traveling there this next week

Pickles are the third gravitating body in the Popeye's Chicken Sandwich.

Hey you Magnificent Bastards! I just booked a trip to Ireland in May. Are there any interesting whiskey's I can purchase there that I can't find in the US?

......I want one

Their Supreme Moochestry Moochallosaurus Rex

Love you guys. My day is not complete unless I watch at least one new eipsode. Daniel you said you are a Geek. Love it. So here is a Geek question for you. You have done all of these reviews of whiskey's and you even have one on how to drink whiskey, but I haven't seen anything on how you should store and care for your whiskey. For example, as the volume in your bottle recedes at what point should you be concerned that there is too much air in there and how do you rresolve that problem? Do you use those vacuum seals like the ones used for wine bottles? Or do you pour of them in a smaller container? After you open a bottle and there is quarter of it gone is there a time limit on when that should be drunk? I'm sure there is more information I should know. thanks

Rex really listened and didnt talk, and we dont know if he like the longmorn or not? im going whiskey shopping tomorrow, if you can get one compass box whiskey which one would it be?

So I just walked in my local liquor store and I was browsing when stumbled on to the Longmorn 16 in dark brown box so I opened it and it was not the purple leather bottom but the brown leather. Could this be the original blend or did the started to repack it the old style?

Spent about 3 hours trying to convince my local bottleshop vendor that all bourbon is whisky but not all whisky is bourbon!

Rex is the third gravitational body

Longmorn changed the color of the box from green to purple, same 48% abv and tripled the price. They are more expensive than Macallan now... and they go into the Chivas Blend... total BS

I dont have a Longmorn to compare, but i just had a Jura Superstition and i felt like it had the same pepper spice peek you described. Can you confirm this?

I found a bottle of the new purple Longmorn 16 yr at my local Total Wine for $99, is this malt worth the price?

Daniel's a long mom aficionado.

sooooooo... before I say anything else, can I ask who wrote that sign? Because if it was one of your kids, I don't want to say anything insulting, but, judging by that handwriting... wooosh

Ahhh, yeah. I never thought about that. Who is the real mooch? LOL

what does the paper on the Writer's Tears say?

STOGIE WOLF'S TRIUMPHANT RETURN!!!!

Wow.....you can get your physics questions answered here too! Who knew? Lol!

You think Daniel likes this whiskey?

Just want to start of by saying love the channel. Question: I have a great liquor store within 5 minutes of my house here in Michigan and the owner says he can get me a bottle of Longmorn 18 first editions for $197.. can’t find much info on this bottle online from a review standpoint but was wondering if you think that’s a good deal? Have you tried that particular version and if so do you recommend I pull the trigger??.. thanks

Daniel, your medallion is on backwards (at first anyway).. :P

That *old* hat though
