“We are 100% organic. It's amazing what these women do, they do it all by hand. There's no machinery. It's all muscle and all hard work, and the guests love to see that. They see what that produces and the value in doing it the way that we do it. I think a lot of people take that home with them. That's an experience that really can transform the way you do things when you learn where your food comes from.” We're in great company with Barb Phillips, Owner of The Lodge at Blue Sky, a member of the Auberge Resorts Collection, where she and her husband Mike transformed their working ranch outside of Park City, Utah into a luxury nature retreat, wanting to share the peace of their land with the world, deciding to invite guests along their adventure. Set on 3,500 private acres surrounded by dramatic soaring peaks, high alpine fields, lush elk-dotted hillsides and a spring-fed creek, the intimate resort invites guests to reconnect with the natural environment in understated elegance, with organic architecture and cuisine that showcases the majesty of the land. In this episode, Barb shares how her whirlwind of worldly travels and career experiences left her in the hands, or should we say, hooves, of a neglected horse named Gracie, and how this chance connection led to her calling in creating The Saving Gracie Foundation and Gracie's Farm, the spirit behind The Lodge at Blue Sky. Top Takeaways [1:45] Barb Phillips blissfully shares memorable life lessons of how things didn't go to plan but instead happened organically, and with that how a bit of naiveté and perseverance got her through. [6:40] The story of a “Horse Thief,” her connection with a young horse named Gracie, and the series of events that changed their futures for good. [15:00] Cowboys and whiskey…what could be more Wild West? That's exactly what the Phillips thought as they invited High West Distillery to build out their business on their property. [21:30] No matter where you stay at the lodge, if you look out your window or soak in your patio view, there's a chance your neighbors could be mountain lions, deer, moose, oh my!

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.

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!

SE4:EP4 - America's Ski Town

Play Episode Listen Later Nov 15, 2022 53:21

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.

SE4:EP4 - America's Ski Town

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.

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. And to do a back scratcher, which you've never done, mind you, in front of a whole bunch of very famous skiers that were in all the magazines and, you know, film stars like, you'd think that I would have been a little bit afraid, but I wasn't.Learn more about how you can embrace fear.

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. And to do a back scratcher, which you've never done, mind you, in front of a whole bunch of very famous skiers that were in all the magazines and, you know, film stars like, you'd think that I would have been a little bit afraid, but I wasn't.Learn more about how you can embrace fear.

153: Meet Brian Nation, O'Shaughnessy Distilling's Irish Master Distiller

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.

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.

S2:EP16 - David Perry: A Sustainable Future

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).

Beer drinkers rejoice! My guest this week is Greg Schirf, he started Wasatch Brewery. 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. I hope you enjoy Greg's story and what drove him along his journey to success and innovation.
