Episode Description

In this episode of 'Whiskey Web and Whatnot', hosts RobbieTheWagner and Charles William Carpenter III (Chuck) kick things off by playfully anticipating Chuck's landscaper interruptions due to his Phoenix area recording location. They introduce their special guest, Mal (short for Malissa) from Canada, who shares about her career as an analytics engineer and her ventures into content creation.

The episode takes a fun turn into reviewing Rabbit Hole Cave Hill Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, discussing its unique mash bill, and sharing tasting notes despite Mal's limited whiskey experience. The conversation then transitions into various topics including the technicality of job titles in tech, hot takes on developer tools and practices, amusing personal anecdotes, and discussions on data, cooking, and their personal preferences in pets, tech tools, and lifestyle choices.

The episode is filled with light-hearted banter, insightful discussions on technology, personal stories, and a deep dive into the nuances of whiskey tasting.
