  • Booze good politics not

    Like many things today I just want what I tuned in for, history and information on alcohol but what I find is Dan can’t help but slip politics into his podcast thus ruining another great idea in entertainment with political biases.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Trey Zoeller of Jefferson's Bourbon EP|336
Q: How do you handle the regulatory side of moving a sea-aged spirit internationally?
Early on the regulatory body treated it as a potential money-laundering scheme, but after collaboration, they approved it; now taxes and up-front duties are managed based on the barrel's voyage and the shared angels' portion, with zones like ports being tax-free.
Trey Zoeller of Jefferson's Bourbon EP|336
Q: What were some of the most surprising flavor outcomes from ocean aging?
A remarkable, nearly black, viscous liquid with notes of caramel and a pronounced mouthfeel emerged, along with flavors that could not be achieved in Kentucky due to the unique sea-air exposure and temperature cycling.
Trey Zoeller of Jefferson's Bourbon EP|336
Q: What sparked the idea to age bourbon on a ship instead of traditional warehouses?
The idea came from observing bourbon sloshing in a bottle on a friend's ship and imagining that constant water-to-wood interaction could accelerate and alter maturation in a barrel, creating new flavors and a different mouthfeel.
Alexandre Gabriel of Planteray Rum EP|331
Q: You sourced rums from four Caribbean origins for the final blend—talk about how that multi-origin approach worked in practice.
Gabriel describes assembling rums from Barbados, Trinidad, Guyana, and Jamaica, then employing aged, vatting, and dynamic aging methods to create a cohesive blend. He notes that the pillars include constant blending across origins, vatting with gravity feed, and aging strategies to harmonize flavors from diverse barrels, producing a rich, complex final product.
Alexandre Gabriel of Planteray Rum EP|331
Q: Given that Navy rum wasn't pinned down to a single historical recipe, how did you balance the historical homage with your own creative interpretation when crafting Mr. Fogg Navy Rum?
Gabriel explains that there were seven pillars and a blueprint derived from decades of archival research showing that Navy rum blended multiple origins and followed repeatable practices. He emphasizes openness to different sources, the discipline of pillar-based blending, and adapting centuries-old techniques to a modern expression while preserving historical authenticity.
