Martell and Mike open a bottle of Penelope Toasted and describe its candy-sweet nose and vanilla flavors.
The episode opens with Martell, Mike, and Randy engaging in unscripted, NSFW humor about bodily functions and drinking habits. They quickly shift to discussing the challenges of finding live sports streams online, with Mike sharing tips for watching Bills games illegally on platforms like YouTube. The conversation then turns to college football, where they recount the story of Rufus the Bobcat attacking Brutus Buckeye during an OU-OSU game, exploring the mascot's motivations and the incident's aftermath. This leads to broader discussions about Ohio University's party culture, including events like Palmer Fest and hauntings at The Ridges. The hosts transition to the main topic: reviewing Penelope Toasted bourbon. They describe the bottle's details, such as its batch number 25-301, four-year aging, 100 proof, and heavy toast process from Lux Row in Kentucky. Tasting notes include vanilla, spice, caramel, and marshmallow fluff, with comparisons to other whiskeys like Woodford Double Oaked. They debate its mouthfeel and value at around $60, recommending it for both new and experienced drinkers. Later, the hosts address technical issues, debating free recording software options like Riverside, Zencaster, and OBS Studio for future episodes. The episode wraps up with humorous banter about proctology and a sign-off promoting their social media channels.
