Hearing this I want to go to the Whiskey Marketing School. I have no justifiable reason to do so for my career or otherwise, but the appeal to join a community like this is strong.
It's well worth it. And besides, you never really know where your career/life will take you.
I was an attorney when I went to Somm level 1. Since then, I'm still practicing law, but I'm consulting with bars and distilleries, teaching classes and leading whiskey tastings, and working at a distillery making Bourbon. The community is always there and supportive despite all of us being from so many different walks of life.
Interesting! Because I have interest in whiskey all my life but am not a drinker. But the science behind it interests me.
What up everyone?
My 24 year experience with Wizard Academy has always been, “jump, and the net will appear.”
Go there for the same reason I did... INSANE weather, HUGE bugs... but an amazing learning experience because of the people and the whisky.
Grabbing a bottle of this and making some tobacco pipes this weekend!!!!
Learning anything new is beneficial if you have the time and inclination to do so. Never a waste of time, especially if the learning comes from folks who know what their talking about. It's all good!
It is so cool to see the past grad cheering you on. And pushing you forward. 😢. It really is magical.
Man, bringing back past graduates to help and usher in new Grads is such a good idea.
This is very similar to how our Project Based Learning school works. The seniors and juniors mentor and serve the freshmen and sophomores. So cool.
Culture is everything but it's also something that you have to always work on. I love the idea that it's not how long you have been part of the community its how you treat each other that matters. Thx Daniel!
I was taught in a similar fashion in culinary school. We where told to always be training our replacement, to share our knowledge with everyone willing to learn. I love the thought of a shepherd. I’ve been eyeing a bottle of that Yellowstone single malt for months, I think you may have talked me into finally pulling the trigger on it.
I would LOVE to be a part of that community! Great job, Daniel.
I love this! Reminds me of something I read in a book somewhere. “It is not this way among you, but whoever wishes to become great among you shall be your servant”. If only everyone operated that way. Ready to serve here! Whisk(e)y Shepherd Fortmeyer, Level Two.
The cerebral side of Whiskey/Life you provide is very nice to watch I love watching reviews and blinds, but this is refreshing.
I can hear Roy Williams in this so strongly- with a Whittington twist, of course. (Frank)
Even being “bastarded” at crowded barrel is a ceremony of sorts. Creating strong emotional bonds is certainly a skill and can be taught. ❤
The idea of being inclusive coupled with service is the key to success in life. The fact that you have channeled that concept into your school is truly wonderful. Imagine how grand life would be if we all strive to be shepherds in our chosen path in life. Thanks Daniel for another inspiring story. Cheers.
Can confirm on the high emotional factor hosting. It is a wonderful way to give back to the school and help encourage the new somms, even if it's making some laughs or breaking a glass ;)
Living in a world of we, not a world of me, amazing people and amazing learning
3/5 stars wouldn't change a thing
I absolutely love these discussions. I always get something out of them.
This is a very interesting approach. Thank you for sharing.
Hosts are great. Especially their first time so Daniel can tease em for being nervous. But in all seriousness the hosts are wonderful and share their knowledge and time freely.
I am very interested in the ewa at wizard academy next month is gonna turn out with hosts and such.
Thank you Daniel. That was very useful
The somm community is amazing. Serving is very important and I think quite the passion for most of us in the somm community. Also either my bottle is bad or I just don't like large scale American single. I love craft American single malt but every huge distillery single malt I have tried was not for me. No idea why but so far that has been my experience. Cheers
Love the idea of the previous graduates serving the new students. More like a monastery and less like a university.
Welcome all Whiskey Vaulters to Story Time with Daniel!
Outstanding Daniel! You teach in a profoundly beautiful and inspiring way!! What a gift! This whisky also sounds amazing!! Have an awesome day!! 📣
I Love this story, it makes me want to go to the Whiskey Marketing School! I love the approach you are trying to teach Daniel! I’ve visited the distillery a few months back for a quick bottle pick up and let me tell you the property was beautiful, as I was just merely looking and sight seeing I was welcomed by a Fellow Bastard and was asked if I wanted to join them to walk around the property where the distillery and the vault side was, and I gladly joined, even tho I was shy and a little star struck just being there he made me feel welcomed into the community! I’m really bad with names so I already forgot his name once I left 😂
Excellent topic!
I don’t think I’m a whisky shepherd or guru… I’m more of a Whisky Buddha… you know… a fat bald dude that likes whisky and ponders the mystery of phenols and how the best angle of the lyne arm may solve the world’s problems while listening to Jethro Tull until 3 am
Appreciate the video.
Thank you!
After a commercial for Yellowstone I picked up a bottle of their bourbon. Didn't really care for it, too young and burny for me. It did make for a good old fashioned though :) Huh, wow. I REALLY love the idea of having previous students come back to serve. That is really neat and great on multiple levels. Well done.
Hey um Rex, "writingk" ;)
Good video thanks 🥃
Thnx Daniel.....
Slaìnte🥃
Great vid on a healthy community
Love the inclusion priority. Great video and impressive story. Really appreciate the ethos of your school!
I’m going through the “tower updates” from the wizard academy CZcams channel, and I’m thinking a lot of them would make great topics for the new story driven format here. Looks like there’s lots of cool stuff with interesting and meaningful stories.
If you ever want to expand the school to the Phoenix/Scottsdale area….I’m your guy!
I swear this is so damn awesome.. Wish there was such a concept of a program in Romania, cuz yeah, our concept of community is kinda shot to pieces by our lovely history with Communism. I'ts not about the money, its not about anything else, kist kinda wish the idea of a community seen as this interpretation would pop up in my area of interest in my own country.
Yellowstone was the first ASM I tried, and I have yet to find one I like better.
"Go west young man"
By which I mean Westland or Westward
@@ManateeOnRye I'll get around to those eventually. At this point, I've tried Yellowstone, Stranahan's, and am currently working on a bottle of Old Line
Still do Paddy's
Oh I see your stealing the Cult of Ardbegs chant "ONE OF US ONE OF US!!!" Kidding kidding, eventually I will make it down there for a class.
Paddy's
Hey Daniel! Question for you and the Vaulters: I really like your approach to talk and educate audience about whisky, so I wanna find something similar about rum - could you pls suggest some YT channels or sites about rum?
I've asked around all week, and I can't find any. Maybe it's time to start one? :-)
@@WhiskeyVault well, thanks for the effort) I guess I'll stick to whisky for now and try to find info old-fashioned way - books and people in bars)
The best cult.
Sooo...Daniel just admitted Rex lives in his head?
Question: Is it really single malt? Column still using malted barley.... Scotland would call that.... Hint: Loch Lomond
Yes it's a single malt.
Single malt only means malt whiskey from a single distiller.
The pot still and malted barley designation is part of the UK Scotch Whisky Regulations.
This isn't claiming to be Scotch.
@@strictlydiesel8305 I think you're missing the point. This goes FAR deeper than Yellowstone and I'm not calling it scotch. If the US is going to really join the world of malt and everyone else (scotland, france, india, thaiwan, china, japan) universally accept and agree to one definition of single malt, don't you find it a little concerning that we fundamentally don't follow those rules?
@@eugenenassif the TTB has already put forth proposals on this if that's what you're getting at 🤷♂️
doesn't include anything about needing to be pot still though so it still would meet the criteria?
@@eugenenassif also as a side note all those places do not have the same universal definition.
@@strictlydiesel8305 name another country or distillery outside the US bottling single malt from a column still
Not 1st...
