- We invaded Scotland with a busload of Magnificent Bastards for science and glory. AND, so you can see what it's like over there! Thanks to Bruichladdich for sponsoring this video! They lived up to the hype, and their team gave our crew an amazing experience.

Sorry for making it awkward on the walk to Lagavulin (I’m the ex-Mormon guy from the video) and I won’t blame Rex ENTIRELY for my apostasy, but he did help a little.
I'm another ex Mormon who got into whiskey. We can both blame Rex lol. 😉
I have close family in the local Ward so I feel for you. I’m not or have not been a Mormon but have peeped over the fence. I raise my glass to ya!
I'm the one in the grey sweater who was there! I thought it was awesome (and hilarious). Made for a great moment!
Saw your comment sitting there at the top. My wife is an ex Mormon too. Christian now. We spent a lot of time diving into Mormonism as a lot of her family is still Mormon. They definitely don’t like talking religion with me though. Great video comparing Mormonism to Christianity for anyone interested. czcams.com/video/S7tyCH3rBtU/video.html
You following a different spirit now
Fellas, from working with these loons to helping entertain the Tribe, it’s been an honor. Thanks to Rex & the whole damn team for an awesome last trip. Pour one out at my (very real) grave in Scotland.
Definitely going to miss what you bring to the tribe, good luck!
thanks for everything Fancy Dan, the tribe salute you
Dude! Where you going?
Aww man, I am going to miss you a lot. I love your editing style!
Best of luck, Fancy Dan!🥃
Rex, you MOOCHED a tour at Ardbeg!? Savage!
The 10 hour layover is hilarious. You could go to King's Cross, get on a train, go to Edinburgh, get back on the train, go back to London, and still have 2 hours until your flight.
Uh, not quite.
Hour from Heathrow to KC,
30 mins pissing about waiting for your train,
4 and a half hours to Waverley (if you're lucky enough not to have any delays)
At least 45 mins for another train to take you back the way you came, repeat
1. Gonna miss Dan! Did I miss someone saying where he is moving on to, or is that not shared?
2. I think Brianna's Revenge should be taking MBs to Japanese distilleries without Rex.
yes!
Wait! What happened? Where is Dan going?
So are you suggesting sending Briana with no filter to Japan, a country of history and specific way of living. .. oh the storyline. Lol.
IM IN!!!
@@wasabista1613 and respectfully enjoying the hospitality given to us.
Always fun seeing Scotland through the eyes of outsiders. Makes me appreciate my homeland more!
Yes! As a Scot living in the States it's awesome to see this! You bastards made me homesick AND added an Islay trip to my next visit home. 👍
10 hour layover? Might as well just take the train to Scotland then
Exactly, you could even just drive in half that time
Thought the exact same meself when I heard it.
Yes but they're from Texas, they don't know about the trains
Four hours on a pendolino, right into Glasgow.
@@melleploeg6713 Texan here, and this is a valid point.
So long fancy Dann! and good luck in the future endeavour. I'll raise a glass for you.
But, who gonna give us those fancy edits. Who gonna make sure we that "Funky" closed captions.
Bruichladdich, Laphroaig, Ardbeg, and Lagavulin in one day?! Absolute heaven!
I like how CZcams offers a "Translate to English" action for this comment.
@@chymchymx2351 precisely! And it doesn’t change!
Leave me at Ardbeg, I'll be good... ;)
lol, the next day, maybe not so much
Absolutely heroic. Any 3 on the island in one day is going to kill you to do justice to them.
Islay! My friend and I just made our first pilgrimage out there a few weeks ago! It was amazing. We were cycling and camped out on a beach near Port Ellen. Made it to 7 of the 9 distilleries, Bruichladdich was an amazing visit, they were so nice, and I finally got my first taste of Black Art! I can't wait to go back some day!
Love Black Art!
That "Castle" you saw as you crossed the Aray Bridge is in fact the family seat of the Duke of Argyll, home of Clan Campbell.
Ok it id confirmed Rex and Brianna are like brother and sister. Siblings rub it in the face how great their vacation was , I have an older sister just to let you all know.
I always find it funny when americans come to Europe, and they are so amazed that buildings are old. As a french it seems so, well, normal. Even though I live in one of a few cities that were basically erased during world war 2. But as I said, to see or visit old castles, churches, monasteries, houses seems so natural here! Thanks for making me realise how lucky we are !
Historical man 👍🏽. If only the Romans made whiskies 😂
I personally find it interesting that there are bricks in buildings older than the country I was born in.
That's true ^^ And I live 1h away by car from the Cairn of Barnenez, I recommand you look it up, it is older than the egyptians pyramids !
Actually, London bridge is in Murica now and the new one is dull so you took a picture of the Tower Bridge which is close to the Tower ("you call it tower? Try Sears Tower, friend!" - Ron Swanson).
it looks like you guys had a blast! im from Glasgow, Scotland and its great to see people visitng and enjoying themselves.
That old church isn't so super old.
It's St Conan's Kirk, on the side of Loch Awe and building was started in 1881.
The castle in the next scene is Kilchurn Castle and it is a magnificent old ruin.
great episode guys!
Cheers.
I know I'm privileged to be a Scot but it's always nice to see people enjoy my country. Hope it treated you well
Sláinte
Yeah we're so privileged....pfft
@@cmcc3721 compared to the vast majority of the world, we definitely are. So I consider my self more fortunate than most
I'm currently out of work in the worst recession of my lifetime. Struggling to pay bills but, for now, I have a roof over my head & food on my plate. A lot of people can't say the same
@@PieceBoxHeid Well yeah. If you're going to compare yourself to some of the most poverty stricken places on the planet but i doubt they're gonna be in the YT pool of contributors.
@@cmcc3721 haha, that's a very fair point. I take it all back, I'm off for a dram
I feel like there should be a campaign to send Brianna over to do her version of the trip. And then have her break down the footage to Rex.
Especially if she gets proper tours and recordings of the places he didn't
Key point
You saw the Tower Bridge
London bridge is in Phoenix Arizona
It was purchased and moved from London several decades ago
came here to say the same thing, except i would point out that there is still a london bridge in london. they built a new one after they sold the old one off. the new one is a horrid boring brutalist mess, which is why nobody knows what it looks like
Not Phoenix, Lake Havasu.
@@patrickfreeman205 D-FENS
@@patrickfreeman205 True, but nobody told Gary P Nunn that.
I love how casualy Dan just blends into the scenery
Godspeed, Fancy Dan. Love your editing style on the vault and your character on the Tribe vids. You will be very missed!
4:27 "Saw London Bridge". God I love Americans visiting our capital! 🤣😂🤣😂
Was walking behind some Americans once as we entered Leicester Square. One confidently proclaimed it was Picadilly Circus and was called that because it was round.
As someone who is formerly a Mormon, I can for sure tell you the alchohol is not the main reason he left. But I bet it was a contributing factor as whisky is great.
Hahahah! It’s true! I was the guy, and the whiskey helped, but it was not he main reason I left.
@@just_joshing_around It wasn't my main reason either, but I do like trying most things at least once so I'm trying different alchohols at least once to experience the different flavors
Ex-Mormon whiskey lovers unite!
Ahh yes, another adventure enjoyed vicariously through the tribe. I’m living a great life 😅
What a send off! The wife and I went to Islay in July and had a wonderful time. Bruichladdich was great but we just did a tasting there. My favorite full on tour was Kilchoman.
It looks like y'all had a great time and I fully agree. The ferry is the cat's meow.
That church at around 24:00 is absolutely breathtaking. The rough, natural looking stone as a base, with the more finely carved arches and the wood, as well as the view through the windows, it's perfection.
I'm curious to know, an American Soldier who was deployed mailed a flag with the Whiskey Tribe Gentry insignia on it along with with military unit insignia as well as a letter and certificate. Was it received? Some of the Soldiers involved haven't seen mention of it yet and are curious as to whether or not Rex and Daniel have received it. They spent a year sober due to military necessity and the Whiskey Tribe helped add to their stress relief while overseas.
I used to be mormon too. Didn't try whiskey until being out a couple years and now I'm a huge fan. I'm sure there was a lot more to his loss of faith than your CZcams channel. But even if you played a small part, count it as a win as I'm 100% sure he's living a much happier life now. I'd love to meet him and compare notes. 🤣
Bon Voyage, Dan. It was a good ride. Good luck, you magnificent bastard.
Wishing Fancy Dan the best with his new adventure.
As someone who recently traveled the area with my wife, and experienced all of the fun that is being stuck in Heathrow, I very much enjoyed all portions of this video.
Man I thought you guys would do like 10 episodes in Scotland. 1 per each distillery at least.
Same. I was hoping each heavenly distillery would be its own episode. They could have cashed tf out on youtube ad cash by doing that.
Yeah it’s kind of disappointing for sure. This could have been so much better.
its great that you brought us with you virtually to share in this endeavor. Its great to live vicariously through you MB's
This video is a bit of a flashback for me, my first trip to Scotland was about 6 years ago and we visited many of these same spots. Good memories.
Godspeed Fancy Dan, you will always be a magnificent bastard, and don't you dare stop with your shenanigans!
My family actually went to Scotland one year (thankfully, after I was old enough to drink), and we actually visited Oban. It is 100% a lovely little town on the coast there. And yeah, England and Scotland... you are just surrounded with history everywhere you go. I really want to take my family to Scotland, and just roam around with them. One of the things that I _loved_ about my trip was that I've actually got Scottish heritage. My family has roots in Clan McGregor, which was a clan that were made outlaws by Robert the Bruce. One of the most prominent members of the clan was Rob Roy, and we actually managed to find Rob Roy's grave. On the grave were the words "MacGregor Despite Them." That's only part of the saying, and I knew the full saying even at the time. So, I was able to say "MacGregor despite them shall flourish forever. We're still here." And, like, no joke, I'm tearing up even just remembering it, it was that powerful of a connection to my heritage.
Oh, and old churches like that are _literally_ everywhere over there. Some still operating as churches, others abandoned. And yes, relics like the finger bone of Robert the Bruce are a huge thing in Europe. Bizarrely, they were the tourist attractions of the day. People would travel around to see the relics of saints and important people. So yeah, Robert the Bruce... massively important to Scottish history... also... _not_ a great guy as far as my clan is concerned. But, hey, on my mother's side, we're related to an offshoot of clan Bruce... so... I've had to come to a bit of a peace with myself. Heck, I've got English-Welsh conflict, English-Scottish conflict, and Scottish-Scottish conflict in my heritage XD
Hi Michael good to know your appreciation of Scotland. Im a born and bred Scot who lives near traditional Clan MacGregor lands. As you are part Clan McGregor and so you are clear about your history, It wasnt Robert the Bruce but his descendent King James VI in 1603 who outlawed them after they carried out a massacre against a rival clan (Clan Colquhoun at Glen Fruin “without pitie or compassion"). It was probably politically expedient at the time as massacres against other clans was not unique. Enjoy your history and whisky.
That "act like ya been there" scene made me laugh my ass off
Fancy Dan, we will miss you!!
Glad I waited till later in the day to watch this. Felt I had to sip a bit of Islay during this little tour. Creag Isle 12 is what I had on hand, and it fits well. If you've never had it, think Ardbeg Lite. Mid-peated sorta bbq smoke, salt water, and honey. Congrats Fancy Dan. You will be missed, but congratulations on the new path in life!
Don't worry Brianna, this is rubbing it in for all of us that wanna go to Scotland and haven't been able to as well
My new favourite channel. love watching you lot and book marking shedloads of whiskeys Bourbon and single malts and now japanese. look forward to more vids
Thanks guys. Very enjoyable. Love sipping my whisky and watching the episodes (no I’m not running heavy equipment right now haha)
Went about 6 yrs ago and walking from Lagavulin to Ardbeg to Laphroaig for tours/private tastings one day was amazing. Stayed 2 nights at Bowmore hotel, coolest spot with basically any/every release of Islay ever made. Amazing experience! Have a 15 month d now but need to make it down to see you guys
Fancy Dan is leaving? Ow. My heart. Ow.
Gotta say, and I'm not sure if I'm the first, but with a 10-hour layover in London, you could have caught the train to Edinburgh and still had about 4 1/2 hours to spare... not to mention you'd have arrived in Edinburgh Waverley station and walked straight out into the city centre. But hey... maybe do that next time! 🙂
Oban was my first distillery I ever visited.... wow... Scotland is a wonderful country... with really nice people... loved it... Talisker and Glengoyne.followed over time...
You guys are so fun, I don't know why anyone would want to leave!
RIP Fancy Dan
I love seeing people fly up front for the first time. Now you need to get someone to get you booked into Air France’s Le Premiere and make sure to connect, it is an experience everyone should enjoy once in their life.
I love Edinburgh! It’s my favourite city 🙂 glad you guys had a good time in Scotland.
A 10-hour layover in London is not a bad thing. And yes, Scotland is beautiful. Edinburgh Castle is amazing.
That random valley is the aptly named "rest and be thankful" and you are lucky to get through as there are hella landslides there. So cool to see you guys in Scotland though.
We’re going to Scotland next Sunday. Let’s hope the trashcan strike will be over in Edinburgh. Been to Edinburgh before. Great city. Mostly looking forward to the trip to islay. Spending 5 days there.
I'm an Islay man, from Port Ellen , glad you guys made the trip
The albanach! I've been there on my trip tho scotland and had my first whiskey there. Benromach 15yo, will never forget the time i had at that pub
Rest in peace, Fancy Dan. You will be missed.
Damn, I'll miss Fancy Dan. Loved his editing, entertaining personality. Thank you and good luck!
I’m so jealous! Scotland looks gorgeous!
Holy cow that looks amazing. I want to go to Scotland so badly.
Been there a few times. Amusingly, on one trip, I went out to pick up a bottle for my room and they were watching Vault episodes in the shop.
WOW that trip looked INCREDIBLE! I hope to to get to go someday!
Glad you enjoyed our glorious country 🏴
You guys are a blast to watch. It is a shame I'm a brandy drinker. Thank you for the video, guys.
Brianna's laughing only seconds into this video, made my day. The rest was just icing on the cake. Which is great cake and icing.
Was in Scotland last April, best trip of my life.
6:22 I like how that parapet is vomiting out those flowers
Also young Frasier's accent is so lovely, he could be cussing me out and I'd still go 'aww, cute'.
Two Dans enter, only one Dan leaves.
There can only be one!
Good luck on your journey, fancy Dan.
Also, how bad is it working there that Emma and fancy Dan left?
@@petelarobardiere2543 It’s a small business. Not like you’re working for the best pay or benefits.
A trip like this is now on my bucket list!
The trip looked amazing. Glad you all had a great time. What happened to Dan? Sorry to see him go.
Please do more video's like this.. it was super entertaining.. !
feeling homesick watching this, so beautiful
Whoever the MB sporting the Hawkeye shirt at 5:44, greetings from Marion, IA!
"Ya, fuck you Dan... Fuck you" I was dying.
Beautiful! Great video
This gives me inspiration to blend. I kind of want to not so much "fix" a whiskey so much as take a whiskey I love to another level.
I'm a big fan of Four Roses small batch. I love the heavy cherry note. Anyone in here have a suggestion to add some complexity while complimenting that cherry?
Oban is one of my favorite places in the world, I need to go back
Glad you enjoyed our country! Always weird to see the outsiders perspective to Scotland - we always see the coaches and caravans during summer and its good that the tourists are back after covid.
Haste ye back!
(also yes, you are not supposed to touch bobbys nose. He will end up looking like a pug if tourists keep rubbing it)
Aw man! I wish I’d known you were at Glenkinchie! I live about a mile from there. 😩
Brilliant sounds like u had a hell of a time in my country
I love Brianna. She is so cute and her reactions make me smile in every video lol. U need to bring her next time but this video did make it kinda funny u didn't with how mad she was. Sorry if u read this Brianna hahaha
Nice trip! I had a similar issues filming in Nikka Yoichi in areas they wanted to be kept off camera, but I managed to film them doing a cleanup of the stills.
Brianna had to sacrifice a trip for the hilarious jealous content 👏🏼
Where is Fancy Dan going?
Ah, Rest and Be Thankful overlook on the way to Islay. Great view.
Ah, Islay! So many good memories from years ago.
"O, wad some Power the giftie gie us, To see oursels as others see us!" This made my night. Glad you guys had a good time. And what's her name can come an stay with us anytime :D
Spotted you guys as you were leaving Bowmore.
Such a great video of the Isle of Islay for MB 😀
Nice to yous visiting my little part of the world lol I live in Lochgilphead and I’m at the ferry to Islay nearly every day for work 😄 slainte mhath mb’s 🥃
You lucky bastards! LOL. Glad you had such an amazing time!
Glenkinchie is just about 3 miles away from my mum's house. Very underrated.
Isle of Islay is the most beautiful place on earth, the closest to paradise. Sure I'll come back.
Thanks for sharing your experience, but I truly believed that you've been there before at least a couple of times.
So long Fancy Dan, you'll be missed by all of us Magnificent Bastards
Wow amazing content actually gave me chills watching!
What a great trip, wish I had gone!
I have flown first class several times but never internationally. That looked baller
Maybe send Briana on an adventure....to New Zealand to see Jesse on Still It. Have to distill something...work related trip? Lol
I volunteer as a guide, Being one of their NZ fans
Tower Bridge! Not London Bridge!
at 17.20 THE BRUICHLADDER!!!
The 10 hour layover instead of just jumping on a train is hilarious
Great work and best of luck fancy Dan.
Holy shit I've been waiting for this, you guys are absolute Legends. Also, Brianna don't feel too bad. You're still living the damn dream!
