On this episode of Chill Filtered, Cole and Bryan sip the newly released 2025 edition of Bourye from High West Distillery — a unique blend of bourbon and rye with a cult following. But before the pour, they cover some essential ground: Cole's hilariously bad haircut, the magic of Marg-Moritas (Margaritas made by friend-of-the-pod Bryce Morita), and the fascinating history behind High West's rise in the whiskey world.   On Whiskey World News, Cole humbly walks back last week's hot take on the new E.H. Taylor addition to the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection — but don't worry, he's still got opinions. And on “What Whiskey Would You Choose?”, Bryan asks: Do you ever drink your whiskey with ice? Whether you're a neat purist or a cube-curious sipper, there's something for everyone in this fun-filled episode.

Along the way, Mark throws in a Shakespeare quiz (because the whiskey's name has a literary twist, and why not test Rob and Dylan's English class memories?).

Email us at - thewhiskeyfriends@gmail.com Music by Adam Whitehead - ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/adamwhiteheadmusic⁠⁠⁠⁠ #whiskey #whisky #Jim Beam #old dusty #Bourbon #tasting #review #decanter A Journey Through Time: Vintage Jim Beam Review In a conversation that spanned decades and tasted like history itself, we had the privilege of sipping on a vintage Jim Beam whiskey bottled in 1976. This wasn't just a drink; it was a journey back in time, and here's our review: Appearance (4/5): As we poured this aged elixir into our glasses, it revealed a slightly cloudy, hazy appearance, hinting at its decades-long slumber. While not perfectly clear, it carried a certain charm, like a faded photograph from the past. Aroma (3.5/5): The nose on this vintage Jim Beam was intriguing. It bore the hallmark nuttiness that the brand is known for, immediately evoking images of Kentucky's oak-lined landscapes. There was also a slight hint of oak, which, considering its age, was not surprising. However, some of us detected a faint metallic note, which added an unexpected twist to the aroma. Flavor (3/5): Taking the first sip, the taste was a mixed bag. The initial impression was of heavy oak, which can be attributed to the long years spent in the barrel. It felt like taking a bite of an oak tree. While some of us appreciated this bold oakiness, others found it a bit overpowering. The metallic aftertaste, however, was a divisive factor. It was akin to licking a piece of playground equipment on a sunny day, which wasn't necessarily pleasant. Historical Significance (5/5): What truly set this whiskey apart was its historical significance. Bottled during America's Bicentennial year, it was a tangible piece of history. The fact that it had been aged for eight and a half years before being bottled in 1976 added a layer of complexity and intrigue. It was a living testament to the evolution of whiskey-making in America. Overall Impression (3.5/5): In conclusion, this vintage Jim Beam was a unique experience. While it might not be everyone's cup of whiskey, its historical importance couldn't be denied. It felt like a snapshot of a bygone era, preserved in liquid form. The heavy oak and metallic notes might deter some, but for others, it was a glimpse into the past worth savoring. This whiskey was a testament to the fact that every bottle carries a story, and in this case, it was a story of America's whiskey heritage. It wasn't perfect, but it was an unforgettable journey through time, one that we were grateful to have embarked upon.

Ken, Iggy, Michael, Allen, and Justine take a sip of this release from High West Distillery. Will this bourbon be worth what it's going for on the secondary market? We'll talk about it in our review. Email us at - thewhiskeyfriends@gmail.com Music by Adam Whitehead - ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/adamwhiteheadmusic⁠⁠⁠⁠ #whiskey #whisky #High West #Cask Strength #Bourbon #tasting #review High West Cask Strength Blend of Straight Bourbon Whiskies In the world of whiskey, there are moments of anticipation and excitement, and today's review takes us on such a journey with the High West Cask Strength Blend of Straight Bourbon Whiskies. A Fresh Start: Our adventure begins with the unmistakable sound of a fresh bottle being opened. The excitement in the room is palpable as the aroma of a recently cracked seal fills the air. This whiskey is no ordinary find; it's a brand new release, and the anticipation is almost tangible. High West Cask Strength: What sets this bottle apart is not just its novelty but its rarity. With a secondary market price soaring to $200, it's a true gem. Our host, a fortunate finder at retail price, graciously decides to share this treasure with friends. The stage is set for a memorable tasting. The Unveiling: High West Cask Strength greets us with a sleek black label, promising something exceptional within. The whiskey itself is a robust blend of straight bourbon whiskies, clocking in at a formidable 56.7% alcohol by volume, a testament to its strength. The Aromas: As we approach the glass, the whiskey reveals its secrets. A spicy and slightly smoky aroma wafts from the glass, different from the typical High West offerings. It's a tantalizing start, making us eager to dive in. The Palate: The initial sip is an explosion of flavors. The dominant note is the sweet corn, characteristic of bourbons, followed by a delightful pepperiness that adds intrigue. Surprisingly, the high proof doesn't overwhelm; instead, it brings depth to the experience. The whiskey's character is evolving, piquing our interest. The Mouthfeel: What truly captivates us is the mouthfeel. It's an exhilarating sensation, making our taste buds tingle with excitement. This whiskey has a unique ability to engage our senses, a sign of a well-crafted spirit. The Finish: As the journey progresses, we encounter a twist. The finish, though initially promising, takes an unexpected turn towards bitterness. It's dry and a touch harsh, reminiscent of black licorice. This bitter note, while polarizing, adds complexity to the tasting experience. A Drop of Water: The adventurers decide to add a drop or two of water, and it's a game-changer. The nose becomes smokier, and the bitterness on the finish mellows. The front palate becomes sweeter, revealing the whiskey's potential with a bit of dilution. Final Thoughts: The High West Cask Strength Blend of Straight Bourbon Whiskies is a unique and promising addition to the world of whiskey. Its initial boldness, balanced mouthfeel, and intriguing aromas make it a compelling choice. However, the bitter finish may require patience and experimentation to fully appreciate. For those fortunate enough to find this bottle at its retail price, it's a worthy acquisition. With time and a bit of water, this whiskey holds the promise of evolving into a more refined and enjoyable spirit. If you're an adventurous whiskey enthusiast willing to explore the complexities of a fresh, high-proof bourbon, this one deserves a place in your collection. Save a bottle for later, and let it mature—it's bound to surprise you. Cheers to the ever-evolving world of whiskey!

With two world class resorts boasting nearly 10,000 lift-served skiable acres, all nestled around an historic old mining town, Utah's ski town of Park City truly is unlike anything in North America. Deer Valley Resort and Park City Mountain will open this season with new captains at the helm. Deer Valley's Todd Bennett and Park City's Deirdra Walsh represent a new generation of resort leaders who bring fresh enthusiasm to their respective mountains, and a keen sense of the uniqueness that has made the Park City community America's Ski Town. They sat down with Last Chair at the Nelson Cottage at High West Distillery, in the heart of Park City's Old Town.As a community, Park City dates back to the late 19th century when silver mining made it a boom town. Throughout the early to mid 20th century, miners used skis to get around, often crossing the ridgeline into Big Cottonwood Canyon and back. The present-day Park City Mountain came alive in 1963 with the opening of a full resort, complete with a gondola. Known previously as Snow Park and Frog Hollow, Deer Valley sprang to life in 1981.Park City's historic Main Street, nestled between the two resorts, still boasts a 19th century mining town feel with hundreds of restaurants and shops, all within minutes to the two resorts. Deer Valley's new leader Todd Bennett grew up in Saranac Lake, N.Y. outside of Lake Placid, learning to ski at tiny Mount Pisgah. He worked a ski job in Colorado for three seasons before heading to an 18-year career with Walt Disney in southern California, looking for any opportunity he could to take ski trips with his family and friends. When the opportunity came up to move to Utah, he took advantage, settling into his new mountain home last summer.Walsh is a native of St. Louis who came to Park City 18 years ago, learned to snowboard and rose up to a senior leadership role at Park City Mountain overseeing on-mountain dining. She left to run a California resort for a few years but returned home last spring. She brings pride in her company and a great depth of experience on the mountain.Bennett and Walsh talk about the uniqueness of their resorts, and also that of the community. There are really no other similar models of two separate but adjoining resorts based around a central community core.Here's a sample of Last Chair's episode 4 of season 4 with Park City's Deirdra Walsh and Deer Valley's Todd Bennett.Todd, what was your pathway into skiing as a young boy?We had a town run hill called Mount Pisgah – one run to the left of a tee bar and one run to the right of a tee bar and 500 vertical feet. That's where I learned to ski, I think at age four. I've always loved skiing. It was just one of those things that honestly was probably a little bit cooler than I was as a kid, and I just loved being around it.Deirdra, your story is a bit different, right?Yes. I grew up in the Midwest – I'm from Saint Louis. Our family vacation time was spent camping and always outside so I grew up with this love of the outdoors. In the summers I think my mom would literally send us out the door, lock it behind us, and we couldn't come home until she rang a bell. Deirdra, what was your first introduction to skiing?My husband had grown up skiing Stevens Pass, and he said, ‘let's move to Park City together.' So I had almost no skiing experience until I came out here. He was a snowboarder, so I thought I'd be a cool girlfriend and learn to snowboard as well. My very first lesson was actually right at Park City Mountain in my mid-20s. I fell in love with the sport itself a little bit later in life. And it's been amazing to be a part of the community here and now have my kids grow up with skiing and riding as part of their every day.Todd, what motivated you to get back into the ski industry? .It was just kind of fortuitous. I saw the opening for Deer Valley come up and I immediately reached out to a number of folks that I knew in the industry. Park City had always been on our list, and I've just always been a passionate skier. So it was something that I wanted. And when that opportunity came up, I was lucky enough to be given the opportunity to come work at Deer Valley.Deirdra, how important is the community's historic mining heritage?When I think about Park City and that history, the word that always comes to mind is just how authentic this community is around the history that we have, the storytelling, the feeling that when you're on Main Street that these buildings and these neighborhoods and you look up the hill and you see all of these homes, you can't miss the history of this community. And it's really something that I think makes Park City so unique and so special. Todd, how does Deer Valley Resort see its role in the community?Community is the right term and it's something that we've talked a lot about with my senior leadership team. We're all here. We're all local. We live in the greater Park City area. And I think not only the history of mining, but the history and the connection with the town and the community is very important to us. And I think that's the responsibility that we have. We are a big employer in Park City. We have a responsibility to be integrated with the community, to listen to the community, to understand the texture because it has changed. It started as a mining community. It has changed more towards travel and tourism. And even now it's continuing to evolve. So I think it's really important for myself and the team to be very in tune. And the best way to do that is to be local and to be engaged as members of the community ourselves.The community of Park City is unique, with both Vail Resorts and Alterra ski areas. What are the distinguishing characteristics of your respective parent companies?Deirdra: Being part of Vail Resorts for me has been an exceptional personal experience. It's a company that is really focused on employees first. You know, we talk about, you know, the employees don't work for Vail Resorts – they ARE Vail Resorts. And so I think having that point of view has really guided not just me, but I think all of the resort leaders to think about that in decision making, being able to make investments like $175 Million and the employee experience is pretty exceptional. What is really impressive when I think about our company is our point of view on accessibility. We have 41 resorts that make up all of the network. And by way of that, we are able to be in communities that are outside of urban areas like St Louis where I grew up, outside of Chicago, outside of Detroit, that really are creating lifelong skiers in some areas that perhaps they didn't have that accessibility and then now have accessibility into the greater network. Todd: I'm 90 days into working for Alterra and Deer Valley. But what I've noticed already is that Alterra puts a lot of emphasis on the local community and giving the site leaders, such as myself, the flexibility to change and adapt what is needed in our community. So in particular for Deer Valley, number one is very similar to Park City Mountain and Vail Resorts. It's the employee experience. We have to be great employers. We have to create a great place for people to work. Number two is the community and the engagement with the community and how we continue to be great partners and very transparent in the way that we go after that. The third priority for us at Deer Valley, in particular for me, is understanding the history and context. We talked a little bit about that from the mining history, but also the history of Deer Valley and its role within the community for the last 40 plus years. And then the last piece is how do we evolve our service thoughtfully. There's going to be evolution. There's going to be changes to how we deliver service. We just need to make sure that fits with the Deer Valley brand.Deidra, you've lived here for close to 20 years, guests and locals have a lot of options here, don't they?Wow, aren't we lucky that so many of us that live in this community on any given day have that kind of choice and options to go out and have an outstanding skiing and riding experience? For Park City Mountain, we have Town Lift and and then we have two other base portals. So the way to be able to access the mountain is incredible. To be able to ski up on Park City Mountain, take a run down, have an experience on Main Street and then hop back on Town Lift. I mean, it's unlike any other place. I just feel personally so full of gratitude that this is a community that I get to live in, that our employees get to work in and that our visitors get to come.Todd, since 1981 Deer Valley has built a really special brand here in Park City. What's behind that?What Deer Valley is known for, and what fits with what I felt here as a resident of Park City, is that level of service. That's what (Deer Valley founders) Polly and Edgar Stern really started with and had that vision for. That is something that seamlessly blends with Park City. The locals that I've met have been incredibly open and welcoming to myself and my family. So that's been really, really wonderful. And I think that just fits seamlessly into what Deer Valley is known for, which is welcoming and providing great service.Finally, what is it about skiing and snowboarding that really fuels your passion?Todd: I've always loved skiing. It's just, you know, the sense of freedom, the sense of the speed that you can get and kind of gravity pulling you downhill is unlike anything that I know of. It's the one consistent hobby activity that I've had my entire life. I've done a lot of different things, but skiing's that one consistent piece. And so when I get this season on top of Stein's and get to make those first turns down … I'm really looking forward to that.Deirdra: It is really hard in this world to turn things off. And when I think about those moments that we get to have on the mountain, even when you're with a group or on your own, I think of the solace that it can bring me and the pure joy in those moments. I've probably laughed harder than I ever have with friends on just the chairlift alone, looking at my kids, being goofballs out there and also getting a little nervous as they point and go. But, you know, just to turn off your phone and all the other parts of our lives that seem like they're always turned on, I feel like I get to turn off when I'm on the mountain.Favorite RunsTodd Bennett: Stein's Way (off Sultan Express in Mayflower area)Deidra Walsh: Silver Queen (on the Crescent ridgeline above Park City base)By the NumbersStretching along a 12-mile ridgeline with an historic vintage mining Main Street tucked in the middle, Deer Valley Resort and Park City Mountain offer a unique resort experience unmatched in North America.Skiable acres: 9,326Lifts: 64Runs: 433Climate and Sustainability: Community Working TogetherIf you're an outdoor enthusiast, climate and sustainability are likely foremost on your mind. The same is true of the Park City community, including Park City Mountain and Deer Valley Resort. The city itself has set ambitious climate goals to have the community net-zero carbon and zero waste by 2030, with a target to have city operations 100% renewable electricity this year. Park City Mountain shares the net-zero goals by 2030 – no waste to landfills and zero net emissions. A solar farm project will provide 100% renewable energy by 2023. Deer Valley Resort is also moving towards a 100% renewable electricity goal by 2030 and presently is using 37% solar. It has also just concluded a full greenhouse gas inventory and is looking at 10% reductions in the next year. The Park City Chamber of Commerce has also taken a proactive approach, developing a Sustainable Tourism Plan to look at how the community as a whole can continue to welcome guests but in a sustainable way.High WestOne of the most popular spots on Main Street, the historic setting of High West distillery is yet another unique offering in the community. During the podcast recording at Nelson Cottage, we sampled two of High West's unique whiskeys with whiskey ambassador Adrianne King.BourbonHigh West's Bourbon is one of its sweeter whiskeys featuring 85% corn mash and 15% malted barley, which softens and sweetens the finish. It features hints of baking spices of cinnamon, clove and nutmeg and pairs well with citrus in cocktails to brighten it up. It's a perfect choice for whiskey sours like a Whiskey Collins.Double RyeThis is the one that put High West on the map in the 2008 rye revival and is becoming a staple for classic cocktails and cocktail bars as they come back onto the market. It features 95% rye and has been deemed the spiciest whiskey in the world by Whiskey Advocate. It features an interesting eucalyptus mint finish and is ideal for classic cocktails like Manhattans with its high rye content balancing well with citrus or bitters.

Cheers,Scott and JakeBourbon Lens     About High West: High West Distillery was founded in 2006 by David Perkins and his wife, Jane. David, a former biochemist, was inspired to open his own distillery after seeing the parallels between the fermentation and distilling process and his own work in biochemistry during a trip to a whiskey distillery in Kentucky. In 2004, David and his family relocated to Park City, Utah to begin their new venture, where they began distilling in 2007. They chose Park City because of David's love of the Old West and Utah's little-known whiskey history. High West began with humble roots, opening a small, 250-gallon still and Saloon in an historic livery stable and garage. What was once a small operation in downtown Park City has grown to be an internationally-recognized, award winning brand.

A New Hampshire native, Ulmer discovered skiing as a young girl, skipping school to hit the slopes at lunch time. Friends told her about skiing in Utah. Her mom found a $40 one-way airline ticket. And she headed west, making Salt Lake City her home. She spent every waking moment skiing the bumps at Snowbird.Her breakthrough came after an all-day drive out I-80 to California, sleeping overnight freezing in her car in a ski area parking lot, then hucking herself off a huge cliff doing a trick she had never attempted. She didn't know it at the time, but she had found fear, embraced it and danced with fear to become one of the world's most well known big mountain skiers and film stars, with her image beaming from the covers of ski magazines.Today, Ulmer is a thought leader, high performance facilitator, and fear/anxiety expert who draws from her tenure as the best woman extreme skier in the world, studying Zen and from facilitating thousands of clients.What is it about fear that oftentimes defines what we do, or don't do? What does it take to become fearless (Ulmer says it isn't possible, so don't try). And how can we improve our lives, and our skiing, if we simply embrace fear?Ulmer still lives in the Salt Lake City foothills and channels her energy into helping others. Her book, The Art of Fear, is a fascinating look into how you, as a business leader, skier or everyday human, can embrace fear. Her on-snow camps (which, by the way, sell out) counsel skiers and riders on how they, too, can embrace fear to improve their skiing.She's worked with the likes of free solo climber Alex Hannawald to big wave surfer Laird Hamilton. But she also loves working with everyday skiers and riders - just like you and I!Kristen Ulmer is one of the truly fascinating figures in the landscape of Utah skiing. This episode of Last Chair is a fascinating insight into a Hall of Fame skier whose understanding of embracing fear has shaped her life and the lives of those around her.How did you get into skiing?I grew up in New Hampshire in a small town - Pat's Peak ski area, 700 vertical feet. I grew up in a house that was built in 1786 and it hadn't been remodeled. Now think about that for a sec. I just went skiing with my girlfriends because that's what they did. And then right around age 15, 16, I became really into skiing and I would skip out of school to go skiing during lunch breaks. And then I finally got caught my senior year. I almost didn't get to graduate because I had so many detentions from skipping school to go skiing. But I skied in jeans until I was 20 years old.What motivated you to get into skiing as a career?I had absolutely no goals whatsoever, and this is probably one of the strangest things about my ski career. I also was like the last person to be chosen for elementary and high school, not just soccer, but sports teams - like I was not athletic at all, and I just was obsessed with skiing when I moved to Snowbird in Utah. I started hanging out with a bunch of people that were competing in moguls, and I just wanted to hang out with them and go on road trips. So that's why I started competing.What does it mean to be fearless?People misunderstand people they admire who do incredibly scary things, whether it be skiing or people who run the world or, you know, businessmen and women - people that take incredible risks in any way, shape or form. We have this perception and this ideology that these people are fearless and that is not the case. Nobody's fearless. When I first became a fear expert, I Googled it and I realized that there's no other people out there that are willing to call themselves fear experts because we assume that people that are fear experts, A, are fearless and B, can teach other people how to be fearless. And I am neither of those. Nobody's fearless. It's not only impossible, but it's undesirable.Did you feel fear when you hucked that first cliff in front of the cameras?Well, you'd think that fear would be going through somebody's mind. It never even occurred to me to be afraid that day. And you know, it's a pretty big cliff - your first cliff.

An American distillery with Irish heritage in its veins, O'Shaughnessy Distilling Company has engaged a modern legendary distiller of  Irish Whiskey to grow a product line which embraces the best of both whiskey worlds. Combining a classic American Rye with two Irish Whiskies, Master Distiller Brian Nation is looking to put Minnesota on the world whiskey map. The O'Shaughnessy Family convinced Brian to leave an established and world-renowned Irish distillery to perfect his own passion project.  Brian explains why he made this massive leap in his career in this episode, but in the words of Brian's mother, “What's for you, won't go by you.”  We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did.  We were honored to have Brian on the Bourbon Lens podcast.  Download this episode on your favorite podcast player by clicking here.  We are thankful for everyone who has supported us.

Cheers,Scott, Jake, & MichaelBourbon Lens   About Keeper's Heart - O'Shaughnessy Distilling The Story O'Shaughnessy Distilling Company was founded with a belief that the spirit of family and friends, and our shared experiences together, provide us with deep connection and meaning in our lives. Our whiskey was created to celebrate the spirit of family, support our community, and leave a meaningful legacy for generations to come. We believe that the spirit of family is the strongest positive force in the world, and we are committed to celebrating the moments worth keeping. Several years ago, cousins Patrick and Michael O'Shaughnessy, along with Michael's father Gerry, were sharing a bottle of whiskey at the end of a long and joyous day at an O'Shaughnessy family reunion. They were reflecting on the importance of family; on how to make sure future generations stayed connected; and the legacy they wanted to leave. As conversation went deeper into the night and more whiskey was poured, they had a realization: the answer was right there in the glass. It was at that point they set out to create a whiskey that celebrated their Irish American heritage and the cousins set off to Ireland. They sent a chance email to whom they considered the finest Master Distiller in the world - Brian Nation – and much to their surprise, Brian responded and a meeting in Dublin was put on the books. That 30-minute meeting turned into a 5-hour meal as Michael, Patrick, Brian, and his wife Una, created an immediate connection. A new family was forming, and a vision was emerging: to blend the best of Irish and American whiskey traditions to create something entirely new. The  Distillery The team set out to make their vision a reality, and while they procured some of the finest stocks of aged whiskey, they knew they needed to make their own. They needed a place where Brian, the legendary Master Distiller responsible for making some of the most renowned products on the market, could fulfill his desire to innovate and push the category beyond expectations. They began creating the O'Shaughnessy Distillery in an old potato factory right in the heart of their hometown of Minneapolis. At the heart of the world-class distillery are three beautiful copper pot stills, the key to making Irish style whiskey. The distillery opened to the public in Summer 2021 and boasts a guided education tour, a tasting room, multiple bar areas, private spaces for events, food service, and outdoor patio seating. The distillery is destined to become a home away from home for all whiskey lovers. The 30,000 square foot distillery houses more than 15,000 square feet dedicated entirely to the whiskey making process, including the signature component: three wondrous copper pot stills (SHOW NOTE: 8000 Liter Wash Still, 6000 Liter Feints Still, 6000 Liter Spirits Still or approximately 2113 Gallon Wash Still, 1585 Gallon Feints Still, and 1585 Gallon Spirits Still). The remainder of the distillery is comprised of the Keeper's Heart Whiskey Lounge, featuring unique shared spaces for people to come together and enjoy. From our Main Bar centered around our three copper pot stills, our Potato Bar, paying homage to our building's history and our Irish American heritage as well as our outdoor Spirits Garden and Rooftop Terrace.  The  Whiskey From this vision, team and place, Keeper's Heart Irish American Whiskey was born. Steeped in passion, dedicated to quality and committed to creating the moments worth keeping, Keeper's Heart is the first whiskey to blend the best of Irish and American traditions. At Keeper's Heart, we believe that time is the most important ingredient in making great whiskey but also great relationships. Time spent with loved ones, family, and friends who are considered family. Conversations that go weirdly deep, that end in laughter, tears of joy and rich meaning. Those are the moments worth keeping. That is why we lift our glass to you and toast with our family motto: Fugit Hora, the hour flies. Keeper's Heart Irish American Whiskey is launching summer 2021, with Master Distiller Brian Nation showcasing the art of blending hand selected pot still and grain whiskies from Ireland with an American Rye Whiskey to create a truly unique liquid. At the same time, we're also developing our own liquid made from 100% American grains in the traditional Irish style, using a triple copper pot still – while the tasting profile will remain consistent this will also allow us to constantly evolve and experiment with different styles of whiskies. We are so proud of the partners we are working with to create this one-of-a-kind liquid and can't wait for everyone to try it! Our first expression highlights the Irish whiskey's notes of baking spices which pair beautifully with the American whiskey's sweetness and lingering notes of charred oak. Keeper's Heart offers a unique membership program, Cask Society, which provides whiskey fans with the opportunity to purchase a one-of-a-kind barrel. For more information, please visit https://keepersheartwhiskey.com/. Our Logo Every element of our logo was carefully considered to tell a part of our story: Keeper's  Represents our desire to cherish the important elements of life: loved ones, time, traditions. It is also our tip of the cap to that community whose mission is to serve: the world's barkeepers. The Heart Everything we do comes from the heart, with passion and honesty. We also always carefully select the heart of the distillation. The Keep Traditionally every castle has a Keep—the innermost sanctum where the family's most prized possessions are kept. Our Keep represents the specialness of the liquid created by Master Distiller Brian Nation. The Clock Represents the specialness of time spent together and a reminder from the family to enjoy every moment. The Keys Your invitation from the family to join ours. We look forward to unlocking experiences together. Fugit Hora: “The Hour Flies” slow down and enjoy every moment. It's our family motto and a celebration of the most important ingredient—time. Keeper's Heart Irish + American Whiskey Keeper's Heart Whiskey is the passion project of Master Distiller Brian Nation.  Aiming to combine the best of Irish and American whiskey traditions, Keeper's Heart is a blend of Irish Triple Pot distilled whiskey, Irish Grain Whiskey and American Rye.  The liquid pairs the Irish whiskey's notes of baking spices with the American whiskey's sweetness and lingering notes of charred oak. Nation collaborated on the blending of the liquid with Liquid Collaborator and Advisor, David Perkins, founder of High West Distillery. Perkins will continue to work closely alongside Brian Nation as the two explore and create new innovations in Whiskey. “I can't wait for everyone to try what has truly become my biggest passion project,” shared Brian Nation, Master Distiller at O'Shaughnessy Distilling Company. “To create a truly new and unique style of whiskey is a dream come true for any distiller and I can't wait to continue experimenting and innovating with such a great team.” “Our ambition is to put Keeper's Heart on the world whiskey map, creating a brand with a global reach that is rooted in our hometown of Minneapolis and embodies our Irish American heritage”, said Mike Duggan, CEO of O'Shaughnessy Distilling Co.

Today, Jones is one of the world's most well known names in big mountain snowboarding. But as he saw his season shortened and glaciers receding, he decided to fight back. He started Protect Our Winters in 2007, uniting skiers and snowboarders in the fight against climate change.

I skied with him on the NASTAR course once when I was probably like 14 years old. all of a sudden he was like, wham, right into amodern race stance and like beating all of us 13, 14 year olds. And he was probably in his 70s then. Stein was still a competitive guy even even later on. And, you know, he was an inspiration, for sure, growing up here.Ted, what's the spirit that motivates you?"I love just being out in the outdoors, being in the mountains, especially when there's snow on them. It's like a cleansing feeling being out there - this freedom to go fast, ski down a hill, the wind in your face. It's exhilarating.

I was forced to take risks and explore and ask different questions than guys that were good. You're now a ski ambassador for Deer Valley, a role Stein Eriksen held for many years. What do you remember of him from growing up here?I grew up skiing in Deer Valley and watching Stein ski, and it was funny. As a kid you would kind of make fun of Stein's style - he had a very distinct style. I skied with him on the NASTAR course once when I was probably like 14 years old. all of a sudden he was like, wham, right into amodern race stance and like beating all of us 13, 14 year olds. And he was probably in his 70s then. Stein was still a competitive guy even even later on. And, you know, he was an inspiration, for sure, growing up here.Ted, what's the spirit that motivates you?"I love just being out in the outdoors, being in the mountains, especially when there's snow on them. It's like a cleansing feeling being out there - this freedom to go fast, ski down a hill, the wind in your face. It's exhilarating. It's just magical being on the mountains,Check out more with Ted Ligety on Last Chair: The Ski Utah Podcast presented by High West Distillery and Saloon on your favorite podcast platform.

S2:EP16 - David Perry: A Sustainable Future

Last Chair: The Ski Utah Podcast

As skiers, we all have a responsibility to be good stewards of the mountains we ride. Sustainability is vital for our future. David Perry, one the ski industry's most knowledgeable advocates for preservation of our mountain resources, sees a true sustainable future - if we can all work together! Ski Utah's Last Chair takes a look into our future and the vital steps we must take now.Perry has spent his entire career on the tops of mountains, from the Canadian Rockies to Colorado. Today he serves as executive vice president, environment, social, governance for Alterra Mountain Company, with resorts around the USA and Canada, including Utah's own Deer Valley Resort and Solitude Mountain Resort. His passion for being a good steward of our mountain landscapes runs deep.While Perry works for Alterra, his impact is broad. In the highly competitive world of ski resorts, one topic brings all skiers and snowboarders together - preserving our environment for the future.When did you really develop your passion for sustainability?I really gained an education about what environmental activism was about when I got to Colorado and realized that, you know what, we've got this pristine natural environment and we're not treating it with enough respect. And we're also, frankly, the true canaries in the coal mine. We are the people in the high mountain places that are witnessing the impacts of climate change firsthand. And that's still the case today, because we know this climate is changing. It's been really difficult to get people's attention on sustainability. But ski area operators, skiers, snowboarders, mountain lovers - they know it's happening.How is the resort industry working together?Our industry association - the National Ski Areas Association - has a really robust roadmap for how to tackle environmental sustainability in our industry. A lot of work's been done. Alterra is a leader, Vail Resorts is really on board as a leader, as well as POWDR Corp and Boyne. We've rallied around a set of action steps that we should all focus upon.What is the outlook 25 years from now?There are two possible futures. The future I like to believe is possible is us coming together within a short number of years, reducing our CO2 emissions and our carbon footprint to a degree where we can slow, stop and then even reverse climate change in the coming years and decades. That's a global effort. But we need to do our part. There's also a picture of the future that I don't like to believe that we're going to allow to happen as human beings. We have the power to clean up our environment, to reduce - get off - our dependency on fossil fuels, reduce the carbon output, reduce CO2 in our atmosphere and stabilize our climate. It's in our hands.In this week's podcast with Alterra leader David Perry, you'll learn about sustainability, plus a lot more about Perry's fascinating connectivity with the sport, the environment and Utah. Who was his early mentor in the Canadian Rockies? How does his hobby tie together his passion for mountain landscapes. How did he lead a mutually beneficial effort for sustainability with a coal mine? If you are a skier, snowboarder or just love life in the mountains, this episode of Last Chair: The Ski Utah Podcast presented by High West Distillery is an important listen for you. You can find Last Chair on your favorite podcast platform. Subscribe to get first access to every episode.Areas of Sustainability FocusThe topic of sustainability is complex. What is the science? How does it impact our future? What can we do about it? David Perry identified several broad areas of engagement - for the resort industry and for each of us as skiers and snowboarders. Listen to Last Chair: The Ski Utah Podcastto learn more.Energy"Number one is energy," said Perry. How can resorts and all of us better use renewable energy? "The move to renewable energy to sustain operations, to run our lifts, our buildings, our snowmaking systems and everything on 100% renewable or create enough energy to offset your energy use. in Utah, Rocky Mountain Power is moving very aggressively to wean the power grid there off of fossil fuels, coal, natural gas fired plants and move to renewables - wind and solar primarily."Climate Action and AdvocacySometimes we need to make our voices heard! "I call it climate action and advocacy," said Perry. "We as mountain enthusiasts and ski areas can use our voice to talk to others to say, 'we've experienced climate change firsthand and we're doing what we can in our town or in our environment to clean it up.'" How can skiers help? Talk to others, talk to your state and federal representatives. Talk with your action and your supporting words.Good Stewards of Our HabitatHow do we protect our habitat? Are we good stewards of our natural resources? "It's everything from water resources to our forest health and habitat, making sure that we are operating our ski areas in our beautiful mountain places really responsibly," said Perry. Resorts watch for run off that can damage wildlife habitat, and monitor forest health for pine beetle epidemics or wildfire danger - impacts of climate change.Recycling is a basic tenet of being a good steward. "Waste reduction, composting and recycling are really critical elements of living a sustainable lifestyle," said Perry. "But we as operators also have to provide that to make it seamless and easy to do. If you go from place to place and there's no obvious place to recycle your glass and aluminum and it all goes in the trash in the landfill, speak up saying, 'why do you not have recycling bins here?'"TransportationSimple as it may sound, car pooling makes a difference. So does taking the bus or advocating for cleaner fuels for buses. "People today have to burn fossil fuels to get to our ski areas, to enjoy their favorite pastime," said Perry. "Are you willing to drive less? Are you willing to look at a hybrid vehicle, an all-electric vehicle as the grid is starting to support that."Expansion of bus service, like was done in Big Cottonwood Canyon, will reduce car traffic. "It's essential we use our mass transit or shared transit options and we have to improve them," said Perry. "That's one way to reduce our fossil fuel burning habits. It's an essential sense of social responsibility."Engaging TogetherEach of us can do our own part by being good stewards of our landscape. Banded together, we can speak with a stronger voice. Perry is a supporter of Protect Our Winters, which has become a highly organized voice for the long-term protection of our outdoor resources. "Protect Our Winters is really committed to action on climate change," said Perry of POW, which was formed by pro snowboarder Jeremy Jones. "It's grown dramatically and is a very professional nonprofit organization, is very well organized." Skiers and riders can join POW to support its efforts, and to better understand how they can carry the message to others.protectourwinters.org

In this episode, Matt talks to Tara Lindley, Sensory QA & New Product Development Manager for High West Distillery. High West Distillery was founded in 2006 by David Perkins and his wife, Jane. David, a former biochemist, was inspired to open his own distillery after seeing the parallels between the fermentation and distilling process and his own work in biochemistry during a trip to the Maker's Mark Distillery in Loretto, Kentucky. In 2004, David and his family relocated to Park City, Utah to begin their new venture, where they began distilling in 2007. They chose Park City because of David's love of the Old West and Utah's little-known whiskey history (see Utah's Distilling History for more).

He is a true pioneer and legend of the craft beer business; he played a critical role in how people are able to consume beer in the state of Utah. He was able to get lawmakers to change legislation and afterwards, in 1986, he created the first brewery in nearly 20 years! Greg then proceeded to start the first brew pub in the State's history. With fantastic beer such as their Polygamy Porter, Evolution Amber Ale and many more, Wasatch beers has gone on to win over 50 medals at the Great American Beer Festival and the World Beer Cup. In 2010 it was named Midsize Brewing Company of the Year. Greg has paved the way for the more than 50 breweries and distilleries that call Utah home. He helped get High West Distillery off the ground too. For all of this Greg is an even kinder and more generous person. A truly great and inspiring individual.

About our drink: https://www.highwest.com/products/american-prairie-bourbon.php (American Prairie™ Bourbon) is named after the American Prairie Reserve, a group working to create the largest wildlife reserve in the lower 48 states. High West Distillery is passionate about the American West's natural beauty. That's why we want to raise awareness of one of the most fantastic projects of our time: the American Prairie Reserve in northeastern Montana. This is an amazing effort to assemble the largest wildlife reserve in the lower 48 states. When stepping onto the plains of American Prairie Reserve, it's easy to imagine the landscape as Lewis and Clark and Native Americans saw it, with thundering herds of bison, racing bands of pronghorn antelope and prairie dog towns dotting the horizon. When complete, the Reserve will be approximately 5,000 square miles; larger than Yellowstone, Yosemite, and Grand Teton National Parks combined. Go to americanprairie.org to learn how to visit and support this worthy cause. Capable of running at speeds up to 55 miles per hour, the pronghorn antelope is North America's fastest land mammal and performs the continent's second longest land migration of more than 500 miles. Because of their love of travel, pronghorn require large areas of open and intact grasslands. Moreover, pronghorn populations have decreased 98% since the 1800's due to habitat destruction. American Prairie Reserve helps pronghorn through its ongoing fence removal efforts and by conserving wildlife corridors. Our American Prairie is a carefully crafted blend of straight bourbons at least 2 years old, (see highwest.com for technical details and sourcing.) making a great sipper and thoughtful person's whiskey.

00:00:00 - This episode Ryan is joined by returning guest Daphne Pringle and first-time guest Dr. Jen Gallagher, a listener who wrote in to let us know about some of the positive changes that have happened at WVU's Department of Biology. We spend the first segment talking about Jen's research using yeast and genomics to study drug and pesticide resistance. One of her students has a paper coming out in PLoS One soon, so stay tuned! 00:25:08 - While we wait for the new paper to drop, why not enjoy a drink? Jen keeps it local with a Halleck Pale Ale from Chestnut Brew Works, a brewery that eventually hopes to make a beer with all West Virginian ingredients. Daphne keeps things Old Fashioned, literally, using the Yippee Ki-Yay blend from High West Distillery. Ryan rounds things out with Revival Sorghum Whiskey from Charleston (South Carolina), mostly so he can finish off the bottle and play a nice song in the transition to the next segment... 00:33:38 - Since Jen first wrote in to tell us about teaching biology at WVU, we spend the second segment talking about teaching. We discuss how her courses are structured to maximize student engagement (and engagement with Wikipedia) by focusing on sometimes horrifying genetic diseases as a teaching tool. We also discuss her efforts to engage the people of WV in her citizen science initiative "I Ask Why", which helps the community better understand the microbes living all around them. For updates, you can follow Jen on twitter @yeastychic. 01:13:54 - PaleoPOWs are a lot like yeast, you can find them anywhere and they're hard to kill. Ryan starts off with a big THANK YOU to Patron Erich E. This means Erich gets a thesis, and his is: Teaching Outcomes of Yeast-inebriated Individuals Upon Exposure To -omics Data. Daphne wants to keep talking about evolution, so her contribution today is an old Facebook message from Andy S., who works construction but wants to talk about dinosaurs. Specifically, why weren't there any quadrupedal carnivorous dinosaurs? Discussion ensues, including some talk about a paper from earlier this year that has shaken the dinosaur family tree at its base. Be sure to follow Daphne on Twitter (@drpingleetal), and if you need more podcasts to listen, why not hear Ryan talk about his journey to becoming a paleontologist on HumaNature Episode 23 - Between a Rock and a Holy Place.

Dave Perkins is the Founder and former CEO of High West Distillery, a craft whiskey producer.  He sold the company in 2016 after 12 years to Constellation Brands for $160 million.  He had a successful career in biotech marketing prior to that.  He lives in Park City, Utah.     Some interesting insights from this episode:  Learn how his biotech background prepared him for building a whiskey business from scratch.  He moved to Utah to start the company despite the state's tight liquor laws.  He chose to become a distiller, not just a blender, despite the much larger investment and longer waiting period.  Learn how good contingency planning can help mitigate risk in a startup.  In addition to hard work, good planning and a distinctive product, serendipity played a key role in his success.  Excellence is taking pride in your work and giving it your best.

Matt and I have been together in Utah for the AP World History reading, and today we managed to find some time in the evening to talk about environmental history and its place in the study of the Age of Revolutions. Key sources are Mosquito Empires and Pox Americana as we look at how differential immunity played a crucial role in the fate of the Haitian and American Revolutions respectively. We also discuss ways to give disease an important place in events without giving in to environmental determinism, a discussion that was well lubricated by whiskey from High West Distillery.
