Rex just turned 40. It happened on the 18th. He woke up, drove his kids to school, pulled into the distillery - and had Daniel fulfill a birthday wish.

Before we go further, I should clarify that this wasn’t just any birthday wish. It was a 40th birthday wish. And the most honorable and ancient whisk(e)y traditions demand that 40th birthday wishes always be granted. According to Rex, it’s written in the scrolls - or something.

Here’s where things get tricky. I’m not a lawyer. And far be it from me to talk out of school. So let me try to paint you a picture while remaining sufficiently vague.

We’re going full Monet here. ((a joke for the art-nerds.))

Whether or not the pickup truck bed was filled with real whiskey, stunt whiskey, or some kind of perverse blend shall forever remain a mystery.

What’s not a mystery is the unbridled joy of a grown ass man - inside of a giant floatation device - bobbing atop some golden liquid - sloshing around the back of a truck - while it rumbles and bounces across the property.

Should have worn goggles... Allegedly.

Let's Face it - You're A Bastard.

I Know It, You Know It.

But are you a Magnificent Bastard?

In this video, Rex and Daniel talk about The Whiskey Tribe - a big, salty and ridiculous community of whisk(e)y loving MB's. They've raised a whiskey freak-flag...

Is your inner bastard Magnificent enough to salute?
