Three best friends drinking bourbon, talking about bourbon, reviewing bourbon, but mostly making fun of each other.
Coming off a few impressive showings, the guys return to Penelope to see how the Rose Cask Finish stacks up. Is this the ultimate wine cask to finish in? Other topics include the unique (and difficult to open) topper, Ryan's new favorite little town, and announcing a new episode format/release schedule.
The guys return to the bottom shelf to discuss some budget favorites - Elijah Craig Small Batch, Four Roses Small Batch, and Wild Turkey 101. At this point - which one do the guys prefer or how do they rank? The guys also discuss some Jamaican culture quirks and advent calendars.
The guys are back from holiday break to open their gifts from viewers. Which bottle sent to the show is the best? The gang also discusses C-SPAN, Ryan succumbs to peer pressure, and which states are considered "southern". Bottles: - Sacred Stave (Arizona) - Asbury Park Batch 4 (New Jersey) - Southern Star: Paragon (North Carolina)
There is no question about where this week's whiskey comes from - the guys try Chattanooga Whiskey 111. The guys try a few different ways to drink this while taking about Tennessee, more fruits Ryan hasn't had and why he'll NEVER try an apricot.
Technical difficulties abound as the boys try Watershed Bourbon (Bottled in Bond) from Ohio. Does it have a place in their bar? The guys also discuss bro-hugs, Dan's new art piece, and the color pattern of pandas.
After a break for Stephen's wedding and honeymoon, the guys return to try another offering from Daviess County - the toasted barrel finish. None of them have tried it yet but have heard good things, does it live up to the hype? How does it compare to some other toasted barrels they have tried? Other topics include Jamaica and Stephen's wedding.
The guys try another maple finished whiskey, this time from the state of Illinois. Does this award winning whiskey live up to its accolades? Other topics include why the guys haven't covered Whiskey Acres before now, how it goes with a cigar, and Monday Night Football.
The guys are back at it again trying another rye with Laws Whiskey House - Straight Rye Whiskey. How does this 100% rye mashbill fit in with the other ryes they have had? Other topics include name brands, outlet malls, and pee quality.
The guys are back to check out another blended whiskey in Five Trail American Whiskey. What the heck is The Coors Whiskey Company? Can they possibly make a worthwhile whiskey? Other topics include lasik, and why Dan wants to destroy EH Taylor Small Batch.
Unicorn sighting! The guys try the very elusive Elijah Craig 18 Yr Single Barrel. Is it worth the money you typically have to pay to drink it - of course not! But is it good? Other topics include a big update on Penelope brand whiskey.
The guys try a liquor store staple - David Nicholson 1843. A bland label fit for a bar that still allows indoor smoking. But how does the juice stack up? Should you finally give this bottle a try? The guys also discuss the Barry finale and Succession.
The guys return to try the highest selling bourbon in the state of Iowa and it might not be one you expect - Cedar Ridge. How does this Iowa craft distillery stack up with a lot of the other top sellers nationwide? Other topics include the best bottle shapes in whiskey and a few funny moments caught on camera.
The guys head back to the big city - New York with Hudson NY Bright Lights in a short and sweet episode. How does it compare to Short Stack? We let you know before we all go do laundry or something.
In a very special - and unlistenable - episode, Dan goes outside to broadcast from his deck as the guys sip on Penelope's Tokaji wine finished whiskey. How will the guys feel about this highly sought after expression taste after being exposed to a very fine wine cask? Also, more importantly, what will the cicadas think?
Richard Paul is the founder of Art of the Spirits, a cask strength whiskey company. Every bottle they put out is cask strength, and most of them are single barrels. Richard came to St. Louis to release a few barrel picks he did in the area and Dan quickly joined him at the St Louis Bourbon Society Speakeasy for some time on the casting couch...I mean office...

The guys are in a New York state of mind this week as they sample Hudson Whiskey Short Stack. A New York straight rye finished in maple syrup barrels. Where does this rank with some of the other maple finished bottles they've had and they also answer the ever important question...will it waffle??? Other topics include HBO Max becoming...Max.
The boys finally try Jack Daniels Bonded - one of the newest members of the Jack lineup. How does this "proofed-up" version of the classic Old Number 7 stack up with other bottles in it's price range? Other topics include why the guys like Jack Daniels so much.
Adam Stumpf of Stumpy's Old Monroe joins the guys to try an Oak and Eden store pick with an unusual wood called Amburana. What makes this bottle stand out and gives it some crazy characteristics? What causes wood to give off various characteristics anyway? What does the spire in the bottle do? Other topics include Popov vodka, the worst hangover you've ever had and vanilla Tootsie rolls.
The guys go down under to try a whisky from Australia when they test Starward Two Fold. How does this single-malt red wine barreled whisky stack up to what you can get in the states? Also why does Ryan not use air dryers? Watch and find out!
The boys try a distillery-only release from Lux Row that costs a pretty penny. Speaking of pretty pennies, the guys discuss the beautiful (and premium) copper finishes and hefty topper. But how does the juice taste? How much does the topper weigh? All the important questions are answered. Also Dan and Stephen weigh things.
