Taking a break from the metal and rock music at Louisville's Louder Than Life music festival, Rob Dietrich joins the Bourbon Lens to talk whiskey.  Rob Dietrich is Master Distiller for Blackened American Whiskey and has taken over their reins from the late Dave Pickerell. Rob is a talented distiller (formerly of Colorado's Stranahan's) and even has a history of working in the music industry, so landing with Metallica's Blackened brand is a natural fit for him. You'll hear a lot about Rob's philosophy of whiskey, his love for music, and his passion for this brand as they head international.   We are thankful for everyone who has supported us.

Cheers,Scott, Jake, & MichaelBourbon Lens About Blackened Whiskey: BLACKENED was created in 2018 by Metallica and late Master Distiller Dave Pickerell. It features a blend of the finest North American bourbons and ryes that were hand-selected by Dave and finished in black brandy casks. During finishing, the whiskey undergoes the BLACK NOISE sonic-enhancement where the low frequencies of Metallica's music pummel the finishing barrel, visibly shaking it, causing greater interaction between the whiskey and the wood, thereby extracting more flavor and color. The playlist for the batches are traditionally selected by the members of Metallica and can be found on the website at https://blackenedwhiskey.com/batch-playlists/  The brand recently unveiled its new “Masters of Whiskey Series,” which partners Rob Dietrich with other renowned master distillers to reimagine craft whiskey. The series debuted with the BLACKENED x Willett Kentucky Straight Rye Finished in Madeira Casks created in collaboration with Drew Kulsveen and Willett Distillery. It's crafted from a base of low rye and high rye recipes hand-selected by Rob and Drew from the Willett Family Estate Reserve Selection. The whiskies are married in Madeira Casks where they undergo the BLACK NOISE sonic-enhancement process using a playlist selected by both Master Distillers. It's bottled at cask strength at 109.6 proof.

In this episode, Matt talks to Master Blender, Peter Lynch, and National Ambassador, Doug Ward from WhistlePig. WhistlePig began when they purchased their farm in 2007. After a few years of deep consideration and personal reflection, they committed ourselves to crafting the world's finest and most interesting Rye Whiskeys. With help from Master Distiller Dave Pickerell, they discovered and purchased an incredible stock of 10-year-old blending Whiskey in Canada that was being profoundly misused. That initial stock, for which they forever grateful, is what kicked off their grand adventure.

For fans of Rye Whiskey, the only name more synonymous with the style than Whistle Pig is the man who made it, Dave Pickerell. Sadly, we lost Dave back in November of 2018 and, while this isn't Whistle Pig's first appearance in the Spirit Guide Society, it's the first since Dave's passing. Pedro is joined by Whistle Pig Ambassador Blaine Adams to honor Dave in the best way that we know how, by drinking his whiskey.--What we drank:Whistle Pig 10 YearWhistle Pig 15 YearWhistle Pig Old World Cask Finish RyeWhistle Pig Boss Hogg V--Follow us:spiritguidesocietypodcast.comfacebook.com/spiritguidesoctwitter.com/spiritguidesocinstagram.com/spiritguidesochttps://www.youtube.com/c/SpiritGuideSociety--From the Whistle Pig website:WhistlePig began when we purchased our farm in 2007. After a few years of deep consideration and personal reflection we committed ourselves to crafting the world's finest and most interesting Rye Whiskeys. With help from Master Distiller Dave Pickerell, we discovered and purchased an incredible stock of 10 year old blending Whiskey in Canada that was being profoundly misused. That initial stock, for which we are forever grateful, is what kicked off our grand adventure.With every step of the Whiskey making process we ask ourselves 3 questions:“How was this done in the past?”“Have we learned anything since then that can make this better?”“Is there another way to do this that's worth exploring?”More often than not the answer is there's always something worth exploring. We know the path forward isn't always a straight line. So we push ourselves to innovate and we're reassured by our mistakes. They're what keep us great.Our commitment to authentic experience doesn't end when the bottle is capped: while we are growing, harvesting, barreling, and bottling our favorite grain, the animals are also being fruitful and multiplying. Kunekune pigs, sheep, goats, bees and horses call our farm home. Not to mention the 20 acres of maple trees we tap for syrup. Embracing more than 500 acres, we think our farm is the perfect place to experiment and provides us with ample access to the highest quality ingredients.Rye is a bratty grain. It's difficult and like a great Bordeaux takes many years to truly reach its potential. Fortunately for us we have a significant inventory of exceptionally aged Rye Whiskeys. But age isn't everything. We challenge ourselves to see if we can take this great Whiskey and make it truly exceptional. That's how our obsession with finishing started.We scoured the globe to find some of the most unique and interesting casks available and even developed our own cask using oak straight from our farm. We painfully surrendered some of our Whiskey to rest in these casks and then proceeded with the hardest part of our jobs. We waited.The results were mixed. Some finishes failed or added nothing. But many introduced new levels of complexity and depth to the Rye. Our 12 Year Old World Cask Finish Rye was the first line of finished Rye Whiskeys released, originally as 3 separate finished Ryes: Sauternes, Madeira, Port. And now The Boss Hog features a new favorite finish with each release.The wood innovation we are proudest of is our Vermont Oak Barrels made from trees harvested directly from our farm and the surrounding area. Vermont is about as far north as oak trees can grow. The shorter growing seasons leads to oak trees with more growth rings. When aging Whiskey encounters a growth ring in a barrel it imparts flavor, so our Vermont Oak barrels, with custom chars & toasts designed by Dave Pickerell, bring tremendous depth and complexities to our Ryes.WhistlePig 15 year is finished in these Vermont Oak Barrels for 1 to 3 years, and all of the Whiskeys coming out of our distillery go directly in to VT oak. The first of these estate-distilled whiskeys can be found in our FarmStock Rye series.After the relase of our 12 Year Old World Cask Finish Ryes we decided that no one finish was quite perfect. We wondered if we could take Aristotles advice and make the whole be greater than the sum its parts. Thus began our dedication to blending.Under the leadership of Chief Blender Pete Lynch and Master Distiller Dave Pickerell our first experiment with blending involved crowdsourcing input from bartenders all across the United States to create the final recipe for what is now WhistlePig 12 Year Old World Cask Finish Rye.FarmStock offered our next opportunity to master blending, finding a way to marry the untamed contours and boldness of our Estate Whiskey, which only youth can provide, with the richness and splendor of some of our special reserves.Located in a 150-year-old renovated dairy barn, WhistlePig's distillery is the culmination of five diligent years. Opened in 2015, we distill 7 days a week in our unique copper pot still designed by world-renowned Master Distiller Dave Pickerell.--Music by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/

Rock bands often sound differently after they replace a member, and the members of Metallica considered Master Distiller Dave Pickerell to be part of their family. They collaborated on Blackened American Whiskey until Dave's untimely death last November, and now, Metallica has completed the search for his successor. Rob Dietrich is leaving Stranahan's to join the band's Sweet Amber Distilling Company as the master blender and distiller. We'll talk with Rob on WhiskyCast In-Depth and find out why it's not his first time working with Metallica, too. In the news, U.S. regulators are floating a proposal to remove most of the restrictions on bottle sizes for whiskies and other distilled spirits, and that could open up the market to whiskies not previously available in the U.S. Distilling industry leaders aren't embracing the idea with open arms, while independent bottlers and importers are practically giddy at the possibility. What may be the first Chinese acquisition of a Scotch Whisky company has taken place, with the sale of Loch Lomond Distillers for more than $500 million, and construction has started on another cooperage in Kentucky to help supply the booming demand for Bourbon barrels.

This episode marks our 13th anniversary of the very first WhiskyCast episode on November 12, 2005, and we're celebrating with an old friend! Ian Buxton has been around the whisky industry for nearly 40 years, first as a marketing executive and now as a writer. He's responsible for reviving Aeneas MacDonald's classic book "Whisky" and sharing it with a new generation of whisky lovers, and his "101 Spirits to Try Before You Die" series of books has recently grown to include gins and rums along with whiskies. You'll hear our conversation on WhiskyCast In-Depth. We'll also have details on the public memorial service next week in Louisville for Master Distiller Dave Pickerell along with the rest of the week's news, and we'll have a new answer on the origins of the duty-free whisky business.

This time around, we're on the road in Kilkenny, Ireland, but with heavy hearts. The whisky world lost one of its leaders Thursday night with the death of Master Distiller Dave Pickerell in San Francisco. Dave was truly deserving of the Master Distiller title. After leaving Maker's Mark in 2008, he helped dozens of craft distillers and entrepreneurs get into the whisky business, earning him the nickname of craft distilling's Johnny Appleseed. We'll honor his legacy in this episode, while also looking at the local whiskey scene in Kilkenny. Nine whiskey bars and one retailer make up the Kilkenny Whiskey Guild, and are working together to make Kilkenny a destination for whiskey lovers visiting Ireland.

Master Distiller Dave Pickerell joins Ben and Steve to drop some serious whiskey science at our WhistlePig Old World Barrel Premiere.  This episode is a true treat for whiskey lovers and whiskey nerds alike. Dave Pickerell, the man who made our private cask of WhistlePig Old World 12 Year Rye, came in to talk to the club about his history in distilling, the Old World project and all things WhistlePig. Dave has been described as the Johnny Appleseed of American whiskey and has been a key figure in reviving brown spirits and craft distilling. Specifically, Dave is one of a few folks responsible for bringing rye back to the forefront of the whiskey world. As huge rye lovers, we were super excited to have Dave sit down with us to taste through the entire WhistlePig lineup and share his stories and vast distilling knowledge. Dave gets into topics ranging from reviving George Washington's distillery at Mount Vernon to predictions on the future of the whiskey industry and why, "Rye ought to be like a good first date." Dave also brought along some of WhistlePig's brand new, "Bottled in Barn," FarmStock whiskey -- their first to contain juice distilled at the WhistlePig farm in Vermont. Grab a bottle of our WhistlePig Old World 12 Year from our Shop and sip along with us as we go deep with Dave Pickerell.
