This week on The Whiskey Trip Podcast, Big Chief takes you on a ride to North Texas and introduces you to Ironroot Republic Distillery. He chats with Robert and Jonathan Likarish and also gets a surprise visit from the Mother of Texas Whiskey, Marcia Likarish. This family tells us their story of how a family reunion and a visit to a distillery got their gears rolling. The brothers traveled the country, visiting other distilleries, learning how to distill their own whiskey. With being a distiller in Denison, Texas which is the sister city to Cognac, France, they wanted to use the French technique of elevage when making whiskey. The brothers give praise to their mother, saying she's the glue that keeps the distillery together. The Likarish Family and Big Chief start the show with Promethean. It uses a Floriani Red Flint corn in the mash which gives it a cayenne spice. They then move to Ironroot Harbinger 115, one of the Big Chief's favorite whiskies of all time. The brothers call it their brunch whiskey. They end the first half with a winter tribarrel blend which is a 5-, 6- and 7-year-old whiskies. In the second half they start with a Saint's Alley, an MGP blended with their whiskey. This is a collaboration with the Liquor Hound. The next expression is the Saint's Alley The Nobleman Rye. They finish the show with Ironroot Apotheosis V which is a bourbon finish in a PX Sherry and Amburana cask. It's cinnamon rolls drizzled in caramel coffee. Delicious! This ride on The Whiskey Trip shows that there are still new ways to finish and make whiskey that are exciting and will expose your palate to notes you have yet to experience. Cheers!

What does a microscopic North American aphid have to do with scotch and Texas whisk(e)y? Quite it bit it seems. And a man name T.V. Munson is the common denominator. From his home in Denison, Texas, Thomas Volney Munson was summoned to save the Cognac region of France from a vine damaging insect called Phylloxera. And his work would inspire two brothers who would build their distillery and name it in honor of their local hero - a hero that the Cognac region still reveres today.

The Likarish family opened Ironroot Republic Distillery in Denison, Texas in 2013. Brothers Jonathan and Robert Likarish handle the distilling, while their mother Marcia serves as distillery manager. Even though they've only been open for four years, they've collaborated to make several award-winning whiskies, including the Texas Legation Bourbon for Berry Bros. & Rudd in London. We sat down for a chat in the tasting room at Reserve 101 in Houston for this week's WhiskyCast In-Depth. In the news, Chivas Brothers workers in Scotland are preparing for a one-day strike next Monday after rejecting a second contract offer, while Douglas Laing & Co. has unveiled plans for a distillery of its own in Glasgow and Alltech's Dr. Pearse Lyons has finally opened his new distillery in Dublin.
