* BerserkButton: It's repeatedly made clear that while good-natured ball busting among their friends and fans is allowed and even expected, the one thing that neither Daniel nor Rex will abide is genuine whiskey snobbery, i.e. actually putting people down for their preferences.

*** William Schappert has contributed so many whiskeys to the show that he's earned his own intro, which is a piece of the scene from ''Film/{{Braveheart}}'' of William Wallace talking to the Scottish army with some overdubs:
--->"I am *William Schappert*. They make take our lives, but they'll never take our *whiskey*!"

* NoteFromEd: Their editor Dan will occasionally insert snarky comments that pop up on the screen, usually to poke fun at Rex.

*** Trying to say the statement all in one breath.
** If either of them says "funk" or any word that includes it, it's immediately put on the screen in a glaring purple font with an accompanying bass thump.
** If an episode features a whiskey that was sent in by a company rep, the actual review starts with them standing around awkwardly and humming and hawing, along with ChirpingCrickets and a black-and-white filter on the screen.

*** Some variant of "Daniel, in the distance, do you hear it?" "Yes, I believe I do..." *''cue intro video''*
*** The increasingly sped-up video signifying Titans of Whiskey who are repeated contributors, as well as the low-budget recreation used for the most prolific Titans, who are dubbed "Trash Titans".

*** William Schappert has contributed so many whiskeys to the show that he's earned his own intro, based on William Wallace talking to the Scottish army in ''Film/{{Braveheart}}'' with some overdubs:

** Flubbing the intro in "Rare Whiskey Friday" episodes, especially if it's Daniel that messes it up; Rex loves to give him grief for this.

* SoundEffectBleep: Any curse word that has to be censored is overdubbed with a popping sound similar to a bottle being uncorked.

* NoteFromEd: Their editor will occasionally insert snarky comments that pop up on the screen, usually to poke fun at Rex.

* LimitedWardrobe: While in the early episodes Daniel wore a button-down shirt and a sport coat, he's now known for exclusively wearing black V-neck T-shirts for ''The Whiskey Vault'' episodes, unlike in episodes of ''The Whiskey Tribe'' where he wears whatever he feels like. He's mentioned that he does this specifically so that's one less thing he has to think about before preparing to do an episode.

* NoBudget: {{Invoked|Trope}} for the Titans of Whiskey video intro for those Titans who have contributed so many bottles that the gag of speeding up the intro has reached 10X speed and beyond. Rex runs up to Daniel and says that they've run out of budget for the video, which then leads to a hilariously awful remake of the intro, complete with glaringly obvious stock photos, paper cutouts of Daniel and Rex, and horrible greenscreen effects.

* IconicItem: Daniel's fist-sized medallion signifying him as a level III sommelier.

* PatronSaint: Also {{invoked|trope}} as the title given to the people who are the next step up from "Magnificent Bastard" in their contributions. Rex and Daniel will announce them with a sing-songy "[X], you patron saint of whiskey!", a cheesy graphic will appear, and they will do something silly like Daniel circling in place while clinking his glass against the bottle for a bell-like tone.

** Several concurrent "Rare Whiskey Friday" episodes started with Daniel flubbing the intro and Rex giving him grief over it.
