Bottled-in-Bond stands as the world's first and highest standard for whiskey, and Colonel James E. Pepper played a crucial role in advocating for its creation and its implementation. One of the primary goals of the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897 was to establish a quality standard for bourbon whiskey. Prior to the act's passage, much of the whiskey sold as straight whiskey was far from genuine. A significant portion of the product was adulterated, being flavored and colored with substances like iodine, tobacco, and more. This led to a widespread belief that there was a pressing need for a system to verify and assure the quality of the whiskey. Michael Veach, Bourbon Hall of Fame Author & Historian: "This was a controversial piece of legislation opposed by many rectifiers. The two sides of the argument included E.H. Taylor Jr., and James E. Pepper, who argued on the side of the straight whiskey producers, and George Garvin Brown and Isaac Wolfe Bernheim, who argued on the side of the rectifiers."

The last decade was one of progress for women in the whisky industry, with more women than ever working as distillers and blenders. The real change is that women distillers are rarely viewed as a novelty now compared to the past, and we'll hear from three of them this week. Recently retired Michter's master distiller Pam Heilmann, Jeptha Creed's Joyce Nethery, and Widow Jane's Lisa Wicker were panelists at a recent Bourbon Salon discussion with Bourbon Hall of Fame historian Michael Veach at Louisville's Oxmoor Farm, and we'll have part of their conversation on WhiskyCast In-Depth. In the news, local officials have given the green light to Diageo's plans for reviving the Port Ellen Distillery, while the backers of another proposed Islay distillery went back to the drawing board to overcome local objections to their project.

"Private Selection" bottlings are the rage today, and it almost seems like an arms race as bars and retailers try to outdo each other with their exclusive bottlings. In fact, some whisky collectors now see the "Private Selection" market as the next big thing for so-called "investment grade" bottlings. During the latest Bourbon Salon at Louisville's Oxmoor Farm, host Michael Veach brought together the owners and managers of several highly regarded Bourbon bars to discuss picking private barrels and other topics, and we'll hear some of the stories behind barrel selections from Joe Head of The Century in Dayton, Ohio, Margo McMillen of Bourbons Bistro, and Larry Rice of The Silver Dollar in Louisville. In the news, Pernod Ricard is expanding its U.S. whiskey portfolio with its second distillery acquisition of the year, while Diageo's plans to upgrade visitors centers at many of its distilleries in Scotland got another boost this week. There's a lot of new whiskies to talk about, and a new Gallup Poll shows whisky and other distilled spirits are more popular than ever.

There are a few times when our podcast has allowed us the opportunity to meet someone we've followed and admired for a number of years, whether it's an author, a distiller, or a bartender. To close our group of episodes during Bourbon Heritage Month, we were able to record one of those conversations for this week's episode, a conversation with Michael Veach, one of bourbon's foremost historians and a legend in Bourbon Country. The post Episode #093 – Interview with Bourbon Historian Michael Veach appeared first on Speaking Easy.

A Whiskey Wash Roundtable. Maggie Kimberl, Nino Marchetti, and Michael Veach join as we discuss Maker’s 46, Pappy & Co Cigars, history of Buffalo Trace, Castle & Key, and the failed crowd funding campaign by Jim Rutledge.  Wrapped up dinner at Down One Bourbon Bar and in the Speak Easy Room. Down One has a private Maker’s 46 selection and Micheal talks about a good food pairing Talk about the Maker’s 46 Barrel Selection Maggie, you had a chance to be a part of Pappy & Co’s Pappy Cigar Line.

Time to shatter some long-cherished myths and legends about Bourbon, and Michael Veach will serve as our myth-buster this week. He's the Bourbon historian at Louisville's Filson Historical Society, and is also a member of the Bourbon Hall of Fame. In the news, Knob Creek and Wild Turkey release new rye whiskies, Ian Logan of Chivas Brothers updates last week's story on Glen Keith's revival, and we'll catch up with Bill Samuels Jr. of Maker's Mark.

The Stitzel-Weller Distillery in Louisville is holy ground for many bourbon lovers, even though it closed 20 years ago. Stitzel-Weller was the home of Pappy Van Winkle's legendary bourbons, and we'll look at the distillery's history and its future on this episode of WhiskyCast with historian Michael Veach and Julian Van Winkle. Tom Bulleit's Bulleit Bourbon is aged at Stitzel-Weller now, and he'll explain Diageo's plans to open at least part of the grounds to the public as The Bulleit Experience.
