I was hoping Nick Offerman would just step in and mooch his own Whiskey

I love how the special effects for the current tribe are just as good, if not better, than older Dr who episodes

Is this basically Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Whiskey Adventures?

Solid first whisky for vault 2.0!

You guys are Epic, I have been watching you for a few months now and love what you do!!!!! Keep it up fellas!!

I like the new room/backdrop, it's like the channel just grew up a little more...

Rex was spot on I took a Buffalo trace barrel selection from my local store! Awesome new vault btw!!

I love how creative these guys get! cheers!

The lighting and sound are so much better in the new vault. Y'all did a great job

I’m all in for this ride man!!! Love these last 2 videos

I can't believe you're not at a million subscribers. We need to share this with friends and others who love the great things in life.

This is exactly why I love this channel! Keep up that silly sauce. The great bung hole demands it!

The new vault looks amazing. I would love to be able to sneak in there for an hour or two of alone time.

That animation is amazballs! It took me back to watching Dr. Who with my dad in the 70's and 80's.

Just opened my bottle of the offerman edition 11 year aged bottle and my god it's my new favorite whiskey. The smokiness in this whiskey is amazing.

Even when I eat honey dew melon, I don’t say, “Oh, this tastes like honey dew”

Nicely done fellas. Really digging the lighting. As the new setup becomes a bit more refined you’ll build on an already impressive set.

Received a bottle of Lagavulin 16 as a wedding gift, and I absolutely love it! Had a bottle of the GoT Lagavulin 9 to help me power through the last season of GoT, and I loved that as well. Last trip to the liquor store I saw they have Lagavulin 8, GoT 9, 11, and 16. Islay is my go to scotch. I'll have to check and see if the 11 is the special one, might have to get a bottle :D

Great job with the new Vault, it looks stunning! Also my OCD is very thankful.

love the advice rex. I'm new to whiskey but fell in love with the buffalo trace as a great way to enjoy a high quality whiskey for a low price.

Acoustic tiles for the ceiling maybe? Picking up a bit of tinny echo. Love the bunghole of knowledge!

Holy hell production quality is amazing especially compared to earlier episodes. Very nice.

I want to think you guys! I've always been a bourbon guy. I do HVAC and a customer of mine makes bourbon so good that it ruined all other bourbon. So I had to try something else. I am sold out for Lagavulin thanks to your wisdom! Thanks guys! Cheers!

Old Forrester 100. An absolutely beautiful budget bourbon. It is my new "go to" bourbon for sipping. Ewbib for mixing, old Forrester for daily sipping and eagle rare, four roses single barrel, and a plethora of others for nice whiskey- centric night.

Thank you for that review I am currently looking to get a bottle of Lagavulin for my stepfather for Christmas but I don't have any opportunity to test any of them so I really appreciate your review today

I love the look of the new vault.

I love the new setup

new set looks great!! love it

Wow I just got my hands on a bottle of this myself. Great timing boys!

1700 bottles ...and I thought my 250 was going somewhere. Well done what an investment. Great review, especially the lineup 12, 11, 16 yr. The 12 is a monster

great lighting and camera!!

Just picked up a bottle of this for my buddy's birthday really excited to get to try it Glad I get to now also reference whiskey vault review.

Just bought this bottle today. The last Lagavulin I tried was the 8yo Game Of Thrones Edition. I wasn't all that impressed but my tastes have changed, and I've been on an Islay kick for over a month now. The Offerman edition is fantastic! Very balanced and delicious. Still not able to justify the price of Lagavulin, though. I could get an Ardbeg 10 and a Wee Beastie for the same price. Guess I'll have to reserve this for special occasions.

For some reason, I was under the impression that this would come in a nice wooden box for this special edition. I was happy when my two bottles arrived, was disappointed that they are in cardboard boxes. Still pleased with what is in the bottle, but as a woodworker myself was really looking forward to a wooden box. I guess I now need to make one.

Lagavulin 16 one of my favorites....wish I could try that 11. I think the answer to the guy's "what should I brink to the snob meeting" is spot on. Angel Envy might have been a good choice for the bourbon.

When is see the (e) used in Whisky I die a little inside. Scottish malts the best in the world. My grandmother would give me a wee sip when I was a bairn. Loved it ever since.

Love the new Vault!!!!

Was on Islay last year on a cycle trip,soaked to the bone, tried to get in to see Laphroaig Distillery but was fully booked so went to Lagavulin (just up the road from Laphroaig) went on the tour which was ,as you Americans say, awesome, at the end they gave you a wee nip of the Lagavulin 16 ,which is now my nip of choice if someone else buying, a wee glass of room temp water ,either to be added or sipped to clear pallet adds to the experience. Got ferry to Jura (where Orwell wrote 1984) and cycled up to the distillery, soaked to the marrow, drinking a peaty whisky on the Scottish islands when the sky and landscape are black the rain is lashing and the wind howling is metaphysical.

is that shelf up, that was supposed to have the cornerstones of each whisky category on it? as someone who is still kinda new to whisky, am looking forward to a video on that.

I'm loving the look of the new vault! I just wish it had the natural light the other vault had. Still on the hunt for the Offerman bottle

Picked this one up it's super good.

I’ve seen this bottle for a few months down in OH, and was curious how it compared. Thanks!

got 2 of these from flaviar now looking more forward to this.

Lighting is pretty dang great in the new location 👌.

Titan of Whiskey? Maybe the high tier should be "Great Bunghole of Whiskey"

This channel is slowly turning into the RedLetterMedia of whiskey.

The sound is so different in the new vault. Almost sounds like you are in a warehouse.

Love what I've seen of the new vault! Great pick for the first Vault 2.0 whisky review. 3 things immediately jumped out at me. 1) It's interesting/somewhat-appropriate how Rex's (first?) instance willingly sharing a whisk(e)y is not with any person.... but with a bunghole... 2) Two episodes with Vault 2.0, and I'm already kinda missing the outro toast! 3) Daniel... seriously?!?!? 1700+ whisk(e)ys?!?!?!?!

I know you guys were lacking in shenanigans, but this seems like a whole another game. So congratulations, you have succeeded.

Extremely MST3K vibe, boys. I dig it. As for Bourbon recommendation, EH Taylor small batch has affordability, presentation, and amazing flavor.

Awesome new vault! Looks amazing! If you both had mics on you, sound would be much better!

You forgot the TOAST!!!!! Love the new vault. I will be there Friday if you need to get all the lights working...:-)

Great episode timing, just 3 days AFTER I try the Offerman side-by-side with 12yr. While good, the 12yr remains the best scotch experience for me. My advice for the partygoer with potential whisk(e)y snobs: Bring Benchmark 8 in an unmarked craft store bottle, and claim it was from the personal collection of your grandpa. Nvm, that may be a bad idea. Just bring what you like, and keep friends with the ones who appreciate it.

There needs to be a funnel in the bung hole leading to an infinity bottle, and every episode a sacrifice to the Great Bung Hole must be made, in turn creating the most glorious infinity bottle that could ever exist.

Wow I haven’t been staying current with your videos lately but the new vault looks amazing. Nicely done...love how Daniel does his eyebrow raises when you bastardized Someone.

There's something about the focus the makes the new vault look like a green screen behind them. It makes it look cheap, but in an awesome way.

Great to see the new vault, wonder where you will go next, Virginia maybe, sometime - just a hint guys. Also, will there be a virtual tour so we can see our sponsored shelf? PS: the audio sound smaller in the bigger space - more echo too. Hope you land well.

Ok, I might be crazy here but the back ground is so neat it looks like a green screen

I recommend store picks for a balling on a budget tasting. You can get store picks for under $70 that are good. A Four Roses, BT, or Whitmeyers store pick can be found for $49-59$. You are bringing something others have tried but with a new spin.

Theres something about this whisky I really love. I started drinking it and within the first hour, half the bottle was gone. Not sure if this is a good thing or not

Nothing wrong with the old vault, but DAMN this is a nice room guys! Well done!

Now I’m curious about the 16. I love mint.

The lighting for the new vault shots is way better! Decent kicker light and everything. Next focus can be to tighten up the sound. It sounds like there is some combfiltering happening (shotgun mic indoors maybe). A solution would be a hypercardiod condenser mic. Also a sound blanket on the floor where you are standing and some cheap acoustic foam directly behind the mic will substantialy reduce the reverb. Also, I love the huge leap in production quality (I have to take you guys a little more seriously now).

The background looks sooo much like a green screen! I’m gonna be freaked out next time Daniel gets a bottle from the shelf!

Cheers fellas ! Just wanted to shout out some love . When ever im having a rough day these goofy videos are a great break !

That sound at the end reminds me of Chris Stuckmann movie reviews!

nice stain rex!

You forgot the toast of fighting, stealing, and drinking. Maybe the Mighty Bunghole will like you more, if you said it.

digging the DR who vibe in the early new vault

I hope an episode includes a tour of the new digs

I have the 2nd edition and As a long time Guinness drinker I can totally pick up the flavor of being finished in Guinness casks

Would you rank this whiskey Beginner, average or expert drinker in regards to pallet wise?

Traveling through the Stargate, sharing whisk(e)y with the inhabitants of other galaxies? This is the most magnificent thing you have ever magnificently done you magnificent bastards!

We’re back to weird videos. I would like to be the fly on the wall in the conference room discussing upcoming video ideas. 😁

If I'm bringing bourbon to a gathering, I generally bring either Wild Turkey 101 or Elijah Craig Single Barrel if it's a casual gathering and either a WL Weller or Blanton's if it's a nicer occasion.

Contemplating buying a Offerman edition Lagavulin or the Ardbeg corryvreckan, which should i pick up? Or, if possible, should I pay $50 more and drive 6 hours round trip for the 12 year 200th anniversary edition?

I was really hoping they were going to step outside and tour lagavulin.

The updated lighting is good

The old vault has natural light. It makes a big difference...

Was hoping for a review of Lagavulin 11yo, but there was none!

This is a Offerman I would accept.😁🥃

I feel you could work on the background lighting blending as it looks a bit like a green screen behind you. Also picking up a bit of room echo and it feels less personal oddly. Otherwise I'm loving the new video.

Whiskey! In! Spaaaaace! Now we just need some Muppet versions of Rex and Daniel.

Oh god I hate the gargling bunghole

Eagle Rare or Buffalo Trace? You guys are brilliant! Didn't I see an episode recently with both of those? ;)

The lighting setup makes it look like you're using a green screen

Also good way to start vault 2.0!!

Daniel, you have a watch on!!

Oh mighty bunghole. I bow in your presence

I have the Lagavulin Charred Oak Cask Offerman Edition with the scotch and wine barrels and I swear the nose is Latakia. If you enjoy Ten Russian's or Maltese Falcon pipe tobacco you will love this Scotch.

The background looks more like it's greenscreened on than ever before

You guys should look into getting some sound panels to help with the recording quality.

Looks solid! Is it possible to add a few drops of water to most future reviews for some added tasting notes? It seems like much of the tribe would like that!

On the show he drank Lagavulin 16!

For a not too pricey Bourbon, I prefer Maker’s mark for my manhattans and other such cocktails, but for easy sips I won’t turn away woodford since it’s generally more refreshing.

Should get some daylight bulbs on your left hand side for that classic look

I want this but I can't find any where I live and I can't get it shipped in from out of state. Do I just bribe my local liquor store to commandeer a bottle for me?

You guys should review famous grouse smoky black.

It would be lovely if you could get prmission from the Windsor Castle Guard Band for the theme music.

So is The Vault caught in a Sliders/Quantum Leap sort of thing?
