In this episode of The Whiskey Trip, Big Chief rolls into Fort Worth, Texas, and steps inside a whiskey wonderland — the Willy Wonka Chocolate Factory of whiskey — known officially as Trinity River Distillery, home of Silver Star Spirits. Joining him are Thomas Ingham, CEO and President, and Brett Luchesi, Master Distiller. Together, they discuss how they've breathed new life into this historic site — including one standout feature: their use of purified Texas rainwater, harvested on-site, to proof their whiskey. It's a sustainable, terroir-driven touch that gives each bottle a literal taste of Texas skies. Built on 27 acres with over 250,000 square feet of warehouse space, this isn't just a distillery — it's a Texas whiskey empire. Housed inside the legendary Ranch Style Beans factory, built in 1911, this historic site has been transformed from a pantry icon into a cutting-edge whiskey destination, where old-school craftsmanship meets modern innovation. Big Chief opens the episode with Silver Star 1849 Bourbon, a rich, bold pour that honors the founding year of Fort Worth. With notes that recall saddle leather, toasted oak, and frontier grit, it's a fitting tribute to Texas Rangers and the dusty trail towns of Lonesome Dove. Next up is a special 100-proof fall release — a whiskey that surprises with bright orange marmalade sweetness, a silky, oily texture, and a subtle smokiness that settles in like a Texas campfire. It's a seasonal stunner designed for cooler nights and deeper conversations. From there, the trio continues tasting their way through the Silver Star lineup throughout the episode. But one surprise pour stops Big Chief in his tracks — Devil's Grin Gin. Distilled with a bold blend of botanicals, including Texas mesquite beans, this gin delivers an earthy, slightly smoky twist that defies every expectation. It's Texas terroir in a glass — and even a devoted whiskey man has to tip his hat. This episode is more than a whiskey tasting — it's a journey through legacy, innovation, and the spirit of Fort Worth. Pour a glass and ride along. And remember — Big Chief don't sip what don't speak the truth. Silver Star's got a whole lot to say, and every drop tells the story loud and proud.

Originally meant to be my 63rd Whiskey Flight podcast, I had no idea what a historical goldmine I was stumbling into when I reached out to Cindy and Andy Sudderth of R.M. Rose Co Distillery. In this conversation, Andy Sudderth shares not only his own family's legacy in distilling, but also what he's learned about the historic RM Rose Distillery. We'll learn about Rufus Rose, a Connecticut Yankee who joined the fight with the Confederacy, the techniques used his in whiskey production, and the challenges faced the company faced with Prohibition. It's a rich history that not only covers Georgia, it seeps into my Lost History of Tennessee Whiskey book's history, as well as the history of a modern Kentucky distillery. Andy's passion for history and distilling shines through as he recounts the rich narrative behind RM Rose and its revival. We'll delve into the intricate world of distillation, exploring various techniques, the historical significance of the RM Rose distillery, and the impact of Prohibition on the whiskey industry. We also discuss the legacy of moonshine in Dawsonville, Georgia, and the cultural connections tied to one of their moonshines inspired by a classic 1970s film. We'll also cover details about the modern distillery and the new satellite locations coming online. And catch an extra 10 minutes of interview, commercial-free as a member of patreon.com/whiskeylore.      

Send us a textRoss Cornelissen, Master Distiller at 1792 Barton, shares the inside story of one of Kentucky's most historic and authentic whiskey production facilities and reveals how his scientific background shapes their distinct bourbon expressions.• Starting as a food science student who wanted to make cereal, Ross found his calling in fermentation and distillation• MGP provided invaluable technical experience working with countless mash bills, fermentation styles, and distillation techniques• 1792's distinctive flavor profile comes from high-rye mash bills and a proprietary yeast strain producing pronounced banana notes• Sweet Wheat has developed a cult following as the distillery's only wheated bourbon expression• Barrel aging locations dramatically affect flavor development with top-tier warehouse positions reaching 130-140 proof• The historical 1940s distillery focuses purely on production rather than visitor experiences• Master distilling involves technical expertise, leadership, and constant problem-solving rather than just tasting whiskey• The Bardstown distilling community features a welcoming, down-to-earth culture despite deep historical roots• Sazerac's long-term approach allows barrels to age until genuinely ready instead of rushing product to market• Small batch bourbon creation requires careful barrel selection and blending to maintain consistent flavor profilesRoss Cornelissen, Master Distiller at 1792 Barton, takes us deep into the heart of authentic Kentucky whiskey production in this fascinating conversation about science, tradition, and the relentless pursuit of quality.Far from the polished visitor experiences of many distilleries, Barton 1792 represents bourbon-making in its most authentic industrial form. The facility, dating back to 1879, features original equipment from the 1940s alongside modern production methods—all focused on creating exceptional spirits rather than entertaining tourists. As Cornelissen explains, "It's not about show. It's all about making bourbon."Cornelissen's unexpected journey to master distiller began with dreams of cereal production before a pivotal microbiology course revealed the fascinating world of fermentation. His technical education at MGP provided invaluable experience with countless variations in mash bills and distillation techniques. Now at Barton, he merges scientific precision with deep respect for Kentucky's distilling heritage.The conversation demystifies several bourbon-making secrets, from 1792's distinctive high-rye mash bill and banana-forward yeast strain to the dramatic effects of barrel positioning within rickhouses. Particularly fascinating is Cornelison's detailed explanation of small batch blending—a process requiring meticulous barrel selection to maintain consistent flavor profiles despite natural variations in aging. The coveted Sweet Wheat expression earns special attention, with Cornelissen confirming their willingness to reduce release sizes rather than compromise on quality.Beyond production techniques, Cornelissen offers refreshing honesty about what a master distiller's job actually entails. Far from the romanticized image of simply tasting whiskey all day, his role demands technical expertise, leadership skills, and constant problem-solving across every aspect of operations.Discover the science, history, and passion behind one of Ken Add for SOFL If You Have GohstsSupport the showhttps://www.scotchybourbonboys.com The Scotchy bourbon Boys are #3 in Feedspots Top 60 whiskey podcasts in the world https://podcast.feedspot.com/whiskey_podcasts/

We had a great chat, over more than a few drinks of Iron Wolf, about the last 9 years of the CobraCast... It's been on hell of a ride but as the story says, "All Good Things Must Come To And End".... You never know what the future holds, so instead of saying Goodbye, I'm going to say "Take Care of Yourself, Take Care of Each Other and I'll see you on the Flip Side" ;)...

In this episode of the Restaurant Owners Uncorked podcast, Wil Brawley talks with Seth Watson, the founder of Distillery of Modern Art in Atlanta. Seth shares his entrepreneurial journey, from launching a production and event design business out of a garage to eventually building a one-of-a-kind distillery that blends spirits, art, and community. He opens up about why he left his first business, how he navigated outdated Georgia alcohol laws, and why he built a distillery with multiple revenue streams: a cocktail bar, an art gallery, an event space, and a production facility. Seth also discusses the lessons he's learned about ego, iteration, and surrounding himself with smart people, while offering fascinating insights into bourbon, gin, and the modern spirits landscape.Key Takeaways: From Garage to 400+ Events a Year: Seth's first business in event production started in a garage and grew into a full-scale company handling hundreds of large-scale events annually. Exit Fueled by Values Misalignment: After 17 years and increasing tension with a 50/50 partner, Seth exited the business to preserve his sanity and avoid letting resentment fester. Control Matters: Seth learned the hard way that 50/50 partnerships often don't work. He now maintains control in any business he leads. Birth of a Unique Concept: Distillery of Modern Art combines a distillery, cocktail bar, art gallery, and event space—all designed around Seth's love for whiskey and modern art. Navigating Georgia's Arcane Liquor Laws: Seth had to build his distillery concept while lobbying against outdated post-Prohibition laws that limited direct-to-consumer sales. Whiskey Meets Art: The subjectivity of both whiskey and art inspired the distillery's brand and mission: create a sensory and aesthetic experience, not just a product. Producer for Other Brands: In addition to his own spirits, Seth's team produces over 40 products for 18 other brands across the U.S., offering a more personal and flexible alternative to large manufacturers like MGP. No Ego in Product Development: Seth scrapped his original gin recipe when taste tests failed—not because he didn't like it, but because customers didn't. Craft Over Hype: Seth values drinkability and authenticity over branding. He prefers bottles like Michter's over hyped-up names like Pappy Van Winkle. Committed to Community: From supporting small farmers to featuring local artists (commission-free), Seth backs up his community-first philosophy with action. Owner Mentality, Not Exit Mentality: Like the Yingling family, Seth isn't chasing a fast exit. He wants to build a sustainable, generational business—possibly passing it on to his children one day.

The First South Korean Single Malt, or, An Eagle, a Unicorn, and a Tiger Walk Into a Bar Ki One (formerly known as Three Societies) was founded in 2020 with a simple goal: be the first Korean single malt distillery and set a benchmark for what Korean single malt could be. Given the reaction to their releases, one can only say well done. They are the first Korean single malt on the market, with three core expressions (the Eagle, Unicorn, and Tiger) and special releases exploring different parts of their components or playing with finishes.  What could Korean single malt be? Nestled on the north face of the mountains 30 minutes from Seoul, this distillery gets no direct sunlight in the winter and can swing between -4C and 36C throughout the year. Bryan came from a brewing background, Andrew Shand from a distilling family. Together, they've set a Korean "profile" that hearkens back to their heritage while highlighting something synonymous with Korea: spice.  Make no mistake: whether at 6 months or 5 years, this is a spice-forward single malt, evoking kimchi and gochujang pepper alongside the classic single malt by which they were inspired.  As the first, they had to chart a path, and we get into an unusually detailed description of how taxation and regulation can lag behind industry growth and, if unchanged, hamper it. This was Bryan's first longform English interview for Ki One - I hope you enjoy!

Send us a textRandy and Tiny explore the true meaning of craft distilleries and what distinguishes authentic craft operations from marketing gimmicks. They delve into personal experiences with Iron Fish Distillery in Michigan and St. Augustine Distillery in Florida, highlighting how these operations represent the soul of American craft whiskey.• Craft distilleries aren't just about size but about commitment to authentic processes, community engagement, and offering immersive visitor experiences• True craft distillers typically own and operate their stills, grow or locally source ingredients, and maintain independence from corporate ownership• Iron Fish Distillery exemplifies farm-based craft production, growing their own rye that becomes part of their distinctive whiskeys• The Mad Angler Manifesto showcases craft creativity with its unique seven-whiskey blend and balanced four-grain profile• St. Augustine Distillery demonstrates how craft operations often preserve historic buildings and create community gathering spaces• Small batch production allows craft distillers to take creative risks impossible for large producers• Regional climate differences create unique aging environments that contribute to distinctly local whiskey profiles• Many of today's craft distilleries could become tomorrow's heritage brands as they gain age and experienceVisit www.scotchiebourbonboys.com for merchandise including t-shirts and Glen Cairns. Check out Bourbon Capital Academy's educational experiences in Bardstown for the perfect introduction to bourbon country.The true essence of craft distilling isn't found in marketing materials—it's written in golden fields of rye, preserved in century-old buildings, and most importantly, created by passionate individuals committed to authentic spirits production. This episode peels back the label to reveal what makes a genuine craft distillery and why these producers represent the soul of American whiskey innovation.Randy "The Whiskey Doc" joins Tiny to explore the distinction between authentic craft distillers and those merely wearing the craft label. Through their personal experiences at Iron Fish Distillery in northern Michigan and St. Augustine Distillery in Florida, they showcase how true craft operations are transforming communities while creating distinctive spirits.Iron Fish exemplifies farm-based distilling, where rye grown on-site becomes part of their whiskey, including their remarkable Mad Angler Manifesto—a seven-whiskey blend that defies convention with nearly equal parts corn, rye, barley, and wheat. Meanwhile, St. Augustine demonstrates how craft distilleries often preserve historical architecture, with their operation housed in a 1907 ice plant saved by twenty local families who banded together to create something meaningful.Beyond the romance lies practical realities that shape craft whiskey. Regional climate differences impact aging conditions, smaller production allows for creative risk-taking impossible at larger scales, and community integration means these distilleries become far more than just production facilities—they're destinations that celebrate local heritage while creating new traditions.Whether you're a whiskey enthusiast curious about the craft movement or someone who appreciates the stories behind your spirits, this conversation offers genuine insight into an industry where authenticity Add for SOFL If You Have GohstsSupport the showhttps://www.scotchybourbonboys.com The Scotchy bourbon Boys are #3 in Feedspots Top 60 whiskey podcasts in the world https://podcast.feedspot.com/whiskey_podcasts/

In this special tasting episode, we dive deep into Evan Williams Master Blend – a distillery-only treasure that brings together five different expressions including their coveted 23-year-old single barrel.The magic of this bourbon lies in its remarkable evolution. Beginning with gentle aromas of caramelized sugar, apple, and subtle floral notes, each sip takes you on a journey reminiscent of slowly caramelizing bananas – transforming from fruit-forward sweetness to rich, complex caramel. Most surprising is the extraordinary finish that lingers with a pleasant apple-like sweetness long after the sip is gone.

Heritage, Grain, and Grit: Matt McKay Revives the London Distillery Company The London Distillery Company - TLDC - has, TLDR, had a rather rough two centuries. Two failed ventures, one in the early 1800s and one in the 2010s, the last ending in 2020 with a few dozen casks remaining, sitting in a warehouse for several years unloved.  Enter Matt McKay, a Whiskey Ring Podcast guest way back in Episode 70. Having recently departed Bimber and Dunphail Distilleries, Matt was looking for a project, something that would expand his already extensive whisky knowledge and give him a new challenge in the production space where he felt most at home. Those few dozen casks held some rye, a lot of single malt, and, more than anything, opportunities.  In his "distillery without walls," Matt is slowly and methodically rebuilding TLDC into a respectable company known for its own product (which remains quite limited but also nicely aged) and for blending. The Renascence was a release of their own stock, while the just-released Golden Union blends and celebrates English whisky from multiple distilleries into a harmonious expression.  Matt is unabashedly nerdy (seriously, listen to our previous episode, we got deep in the weeds), and he loves what he does. I can't wait to taste these releases and see what he does. Let's check back in a few years when they're farther down the runway....

This week we welcome Master Distiller, Ross Cornelissen from 1792 back to The Bourbon Showdown! We do a deep dive on all things 1792 as he walks me through the history of the brand and everything they have in store for the future.

As the third oldest operating distillery in the world, with roots dating back to 1773, Buffalo Trace Distillery (as it's known today) has been honing its craft since Kentucky was a wild, untamed frontier and the United States was just an idea. In the centuries that followed, the Distillery changed hands numerous times, but one thing always remained constant; it was a homeplace for the creation of authentic American whiskey.At the turn of the millennium, the Distillery was amid a period of transformation once again and looked to its forebearers for inspiration. As a trailblazer in the industry, the distillation team chose to pay homage to W.L. Weller by setting aside some of the first whiskeys distilled in the new millennium for the sole purpose of creating this extraordinary innovation.A blend of vintage straight bourbon and wheat whiskeys distilled in 2000, 2003, 2005 and 2006, Weller Millennium highlights the impact that wheat has on the whiskey's flavor: the softness imparted by the wheat creates a smoother, sweeter, more approachable expression. By marrying these exceptional spirits together, the whiskeys further harmonize with each other, creating a cohesive, balanced final product that is greater than the sum of its parts.

We dedicate this last and every Episode of "The Hug It Down Power Hour" to the late great Nathan Olivarez for which it was named, Nothing but Love...

In this conversation, Drew Hannush interviews Dr. Pat Heist, co-founder of Wilderness Trail Distillery, exploring the journey from a small farmhouse distillery to a significant player in the whiskey industry. They discuss the scientific approach to distilling, the impact of the Renewable Fuels Act, the evolution of fermentation practices, and the importance of data collection in whiskey production. Dr. Heist shares insights on the sweet mash process, the challenges of scaling operations, and the future of whiskey innovation. TAKEAWAYS Wilderness Trail Distillery started as a small farmhouse distillery. Dr. Pat Heist and Shane Baker's partnership began in rock and roll. Firm Solutions was established during the 2006 economic crisis. The Renewable Fuels Act significantly impacted the distilling industry. Fuel ethanol production shares similarities with whiskey production. The distillery focuses on scientific methods in fermentation. Wilderness Trail has expanded its operations significantly since inception. Data collection is crucial for understanding whiskey production variations. Sweet mash production is a key focus for Wilderness Trail. The distillery aims to innovate and improve whiskey quality. Hear an extended version at whiskey-lore.com/patreon

This week on The Whiskey Trip, Big Chief ventures into the high-altitude heart of the Colorado Rockies to sit down with Lenny Eckstein, founder and head distiller at Deerhammer Distillery in Buena Vista. What starts as a tasting becomes a deep dive into the wild spirit of craft whiskey done the mountain way. Lenny's approach is anything but conventional. He's built Deerhammer with an unapologetically bold attitude—where fermentation is open, barrels breathe mountain air, and flavor always comes first. The whiskey journey begins with Deerhammer Straight Rye, a unique take on the category with a mash bill of: 70% Elbon Rye, 20% Oats, and 10% Caramel Malt. This isn't your standard spicy rye. The oats lend a creamy, rounded mouthfeel, while the caramel malt brings in a sweet, roasted backbone that balances beautifully with the rye's punch. It's a sipper that surprises and satisfies. Next up is Deerhammer's American Single Malt, crafted from a robust malt-forward mash bill: 85% Pale Malt, 5% Chocolate Malt, 5% C120 Malt, and 5% C45 Malt. It's rich and complex, bursting with notes of dark chocolate, roasted coffee, dried fruits, and charred oak. This is single malt whiskey with soul—and a distinctly American edge. Finally, Big Chief and Lenny dig into Deerhammer's Four Grain Bourbon, where the frontier spirit of Colorado comes alive. The mash bill is 65% Ute Mountain Corn, 15% Red Wheat, 15% Oats, and 5% Roasted Barley. Smooth and creamy from the oats, softly spiced by the wheat, and given a bold twist with roasted barley, this is a bourbon that plays by its own rules—and wins. Throughout the episode, Lenny shares the origin story of Deerhammer—from homebrewing days in Brooklyn to pioneering bold whiskey in the Rockies. It's a tale of grit, grain, and chasing flavor through every season. So pour yourself something bold, and ride along on The Whiskey Trip.
