Send us a textWelcome Micah!Discovering the Legacy of William Grant & Sons: A Journey Through WhiskeyNestled in the heart of Scotland, William Grant & Sons is synonymous with quality and craftsmanship in the whiskey industry. As the third-largest producer of Scotch whisky globally, the company has a rich heritage and a passion for distilling that spans over a century. Let's delve into what makes William Grant & Sons a standout in the world of spirits and uncover some intriguing stories behind their distillery.The story of William Grant is deeply intertwined with Scottish heritage. Descended from Clan Grant, known for its involvement in the Jacobite rebellion, William Grant's lineage adds a layer of intrigue to the distillery's narrative. One notable ancestor, Alexander Grant, famously escaped the battle of Culloden, embarking on a journey that would eventually lead to the creation of exceptional whiskey.William Grant & Sons began its journey in 1887 with the distillation of Glenfiddich, which has since become one of the most recognizable single malt Scotch whiskies in the world. Following its success, the distillery expanded its portfolio to include Balvenie, showcasing its commitment to quality craftsmanship and tradition.Today, the distillery boasts an impressive range of brands, including:Fistful of Bourbon: Their only bourbon, crafted with a unique blend of five straight bourbons.Hendrick's Gin: An innovative spirit that combines cucumber and rose, redefining classic gin.Tellamour DEW: Acquired for €171 million in 2010, adding a distinctive flavor to their collection.Famous Grouse and Naked Malt: Popular choices among whiskey enthusiasts.Among the standout offerings from William Grant & Sons is Monkey Shoulder, a blended malt Scotch whisky that was introduced to the market in 2003. It's crafted from a mix of three signature single malts, making it a delightful middle ground between single malt and blended Scotch.What sets it apart: Unlike blended Scotch, which can include grain whisky, Monkey Shoulder is strictly a blended malt, ensuring a richness and depth of flavor that appeals to many palates.Perfect PairingsFor those looking to elevate their Monkey Shoulder experience, consider pairing it with Cornell & Diehl's Crosseyed Cricket pipe tobacco. This combination allows for a delightful exploration of flavors, enhancing the whiskey's richness.ConclusionWilliam Grant & Sons is not just a distillery; it's a testament to the artistry, heritage, and spirit of Scotland. From its storied past with Clan Grant to its impressive lineup of whiskies, including the delightful Monkey Shoulder, the distillery invites you to explore and savor its offerings.Research Sourceshttps://www.monkeyshoulder.com/en-us https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monkey_Shoulder https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Support the showWebsite:www.whiskeychaserspod.comFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/whiskeychaserspodcastInsta:https://www.instagram.com/whiskeychaserspodcast/TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@whiskeychaserspodcastThanks For Listening!

Send us a textThe Whiskey Chasers were joined by the whole Hough Family: Jim, Ellen, Rob, and Kevin, to discuss Liberty Pole Spirits.  It is always a joy to go to distilleries and meet the people behind the brand, but this was truly wonderful! The family was so welcoming and gave us a tour of the place, including their rickhouse. After our recording, we were treated to some amazing food from their restaurant. You will notice this recording may not be as clean as previous ones. We wanted to ensure the whole family could join in, but with only four mics, we had to share, so you may hear a little more noise than usual. However, the content more than makes up for it.  We had the opportunity to try some unreleased goodies, as well as favorites from the family, but some of the best news we heard is that they are coming to Ohio!  Their products are expected to be available sometime next year, and we will notify you as soon as they are.Show some love to Liberty Pole Spirits and follow them for news of future releases!https://www.libertypolespirits.com/ https://www.instagram.com/libertypolespirits/https://www.facebook.com/Libertypolespirits/ https://x.com/LibPoleSpiritsSupport the showWebsite:www.whiskeychaserspod.comFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/whiskeychaserspodcastInsta:https://www.instagram.com/whiskeychaserspodcast/TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@whiskeychaserspodcastThanks For Listening!

Overholt & Co., currently a subsidiary of Beam Suntory, which is a subsidiary of Suntory Holdings of Osaka, Japan. It is currently distilled at the Jim Beam distillery in Clermont, KYHenry Oberholzer (Anglicized to “Overholt”), a German Mennonite farmer, moved to West Overton, Pennsylvania, on the banks of Jacobs Creek in Western Pennsylvania in 1800.  His family came from the area of Germany which specialized in distilling “korn”, or rye whiskey, and Henry took up the tradition.In 1810, Henry's son took over the management of the distillery and made it into a business. By the 1820s, the distillery was putting out 12 to 15 gallons of rye whiskey per day. By 1859, Overholt incorporated his business as “A. Overholt & Co.” He operated out of a new distillery building that was six stories high, 100 feet long, and which could produce 860 gallons per day.Old Overholt was one of six distilleries allowed to continue issuing bottled-in-bond, government stamped, pints with a dosage cup atop the cap and doctor's prescription attached to the back.Maybe because Andrew Mellon was a partner in the business and he was the secretary of the treasury under HardingMellon Sold his shares in 1925 due to concerns from prohabisionists Beam bought out the old overholt in 1986, when they made the purchase of Dekuyper Peachtree Schnapps.

Send us a textThe Woodford Distillery, as we know it today, was actually previously owned by Elijah Pepper and was called the Oscar Pepper Distillery. The distillery itself has been through 4 sales. Brown Forman bought it in 1941, sold it in the late 60's, and then decided they wanted to re-purchase it in 1993. By 1996, it became the Woodford DistilleryAs much as I do not love Wooford, it is the best of the three others before itOld Crow (The distiller who worked at the pepper distillery) James E PepperSupport the showWebsite:www.whiskeychaserspod.comFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/whiskeychaserspodcastInsta:https://www.instagram.com/whiskeychaserspodcast/TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@whiskeychaserspodcastThanks For Listening!
