  • An incredible dive into whiskey history

    This podcast is awesome! I’ve worked in the distilling industry for pretty much my entire life, so I’m very in tune with current events and market trends.

    But what about everything before that? What led to all of this? How did we get to where we are now?

    This podcast takes deep dives into the history of distilling and connects the dots to the modern day. All while keeping things upbeat and exciting.

    Highly recommend!
