Podcasts about stitzel weller distillery

The hits just keep coming for economic development in Louisville — most recently with the news that KFC is leaving town.That's one of five recent examples of some absolutely abysmal economic news coming out of Louisville. Before that it was Papa John's flight from Louisville to Atlanta. And the news that Humana Inc. is vacating its Main Street tower in Downtown Louisville. You can throw the closure of the Brown-Forman Cooperage and Diageo's ending of bottling operations at Stitzel-Weller Distillery onto the bad news pile too. Those are just the big, semi-recent ones. Add it all up and it doesn't look good for the Derby City. So what's happening here? We give our best shot at an explanation on this week's Access Louisville podcast, which you can check out in the player above.In short, it's not all just one thing. Louisville is on the wrong end of some recent business trends. Obviously, the trends that led restaurant companies (KFC and Papa Johns) out of town are different than those causing the distillers (Diageo and Brown-Forman) to shut down facilities. In the case of the former, it seems restaurant companies want greater access to the world than Louisville can readily provide (a few site selection professionals we spoke with gave us some great insight on this recently.) And in the case of the latter, there's a global spirits downturn and threats of a trade war that are impacting Kentucky's bourbon industry. As for Humana, it's in step with a lot of companies that are just needing less office space in the wake of remote work. So the question is less: What's going on here and more what do we do about it? More on this weeks showWe don't just lament Louisville's losses on this week's show. We also go over some good news that has taken place as well. It seems that  things are moving for a redevelopment project at Louisville Gardens, which will be home to the film industry. There's also new apartment building going up that could be a real boon for Downtown Louisville.And we've got some news on massive upgrades planned at Churchill Downs.

A recent Linkedin post got some traction by suggesting that not all businesses need a website.Which honestly, is a bit of a headscratcher.  As my friend Tim Peter wrote in a counterpoint, that's like saying you don't need a phone number or an email address to run a business.On this week's episode, I talk through why you DO need a website, even if it's just a simple one.

For over two decades, Pappy Van Winkle Bourbon has been one of the most sought-after brands in the world. It is a business built upon a family heritage in the bourbon industry that goes back to Julian “Pappy” Van Winkle opening the famed Stitzel-Weller Distillery in the 1930's. As the 4th generation of Van Winkles move into the family business, they have expanded it with the launch of Pappy & Company, a bourbon lifestyle brand launched by the three daughters of Julian Van Winkle III. I sat down with the three co-founders / sisters to talk about the inspiration behind Pappy & Co and how the business has grown since launch.

In this special episode, we give Beth Allison Barr the floor. Beth wanted to have a conversation with Scot McKnight about Biblical translations, how they come together, and how bias and agendas influence certain translations more than others (we're looking at you, ESV). We interviewed Beth in April about her brilliant book The Making of Biblical Womanhood. Beth has said numerous times that of all the questions about her book that she gets, most are about this topic.Enjoy this brilliant conversation between two scholars who happen to also be incredibly fun. And check out the companion blog post here: https://www.patheos.com/blogs/anxiousbench/2021/07/what-evangelicals-just-dont-know-about-bible-translations/In this episode, we sampled Blade and Bow Whiskey made by the Stitzel Weller Distillery.Check out the follow-up to this episode at the end of season 2!

Andy and Jon Discuss everything Blade & Bow! This week’s episode covers the history of Blade & Bow Bourbon. The co-hosts breakdown every aspect of this young brand, from its extraordinarily unique barreling process at the world famous Stitzel Weller Distillery, to the ultra exclusive key themed collection club that’s undoubtedly reminiscence of the Blanton’s letters bottle stoppers.

On this episode of The Fred Minnick Show, legendary ESPN sports writer Wright Thompson hangs out with Fred to talk about Thompson's new book, Pappyland: A Story of Family, Fine Bourbon, and the Things That Last. Suffice to say, if you're into the Pappy Van Winkle legacy, you're going to love this inside look into Thompson's relationship with Julian Van Winkle, who he shadowed for parts of three years to learn about what makes the Van Winkle family tick. Wright and Fred talk about the book, bourbon and, most importantly, the Van Winkle way. No whiskey tasting this time - Fred was sipping coffee, as it was a morning interview - but there was plenty of whiskey talk. EPISODE SUMMARY Fred and Wright cover a number of topics, such as: "It was a story about writing a book as much as anything," Thompson tells Fred about his relationship with Julian Van Winkle and the process of getting to know him and the family's history while writing Pappyland. He notes that much of the story he learned mirrored many things that were happening in his own life at the time. He also notes that he drank "a lot of good whiskey" during the research process and was able to reflect his tastes off Julian Van Winkle's, noting that Julian was "unsentimental" toward much of the bourbon they tasted. And for those who don't believe in the scarcity of Pappy Van Winkle and Old Rip Van Winkle products, Thompson says they'd better change their thinking. Because the scarcity is real. Speaking of Julian, Thompson tells Fred, "I certainly thought, 'Well, this guy's got a basement full of this stuff,' and, ah, he doesn't. ... That was really interesting to see, that the scarcity is real." That said, before loaning much of it to Frazier History Museum, Julian had a huge stash of priceless whiskey hiding in his basement. Fred and Wright also talk about tasting some of the white dog from the original Stitzel-Weller Distillery and finding it to be even smoother than some aged bourbons. Thompson says Julian's goal is to create bourbon that is "the closest approximation" to Stitzel-Weller whiskey. "It was interesting to me to see how much the process for him is dancing with the ghost of that." He talks about events coming up through which bourbon fans can win Van Winkle products (get involved at Wright's Website. They talk about how fake Pappy often is sent back to Buffalo Trace, and Julian often tastes (and likes!) the faked bourbon, to see what people are passing of as Pappy Van Winkle. On how covering sports is similar to covering bourbon, Wright says, "One, people are very, very passionate about it and have long, deeply felt opinions." He talks about how bourbon, in a way, embodies the American spirit. Ultimately, the book is about why people make bourbon and why so many people want to drink it, he says. "I hope in my heart of hearts that maybe I have articulated something that a lot of people like you and I ... have felt but never fully articulated. I think people will say, 'That's me on the page. Hopefully.'" Fred offers that being a fan of a sports team that isn't successful is almost the opposite of one's love of whiskey: "Bourbon is largely joy; being a fan is mostly heartache." Thompson buys bourbon to drink, not to collect or re-sell: "I would love a world in which everybody's decanter whiskey was Old Rip. For $60 a bottle." And Wright teaches us all how to make a VanHattan (good luck finding the ingredients, though). QUOTABLES "I don't know if I have a complex enough whiskey palate to separate my desire for something to be great from it's actual greatness," Thompson says, speaking of his relationship with whiskey.

My first stop on my first trip to Louisville or so I thought, but I was to be corrected by our guest today. Technically we were in Shively not Louisville even though it’s minutes away from the centre of town. Sylvia Holden, Team Leader for the Bulleit Frontier Whiskey Experience at Stitzel-Weller Distillery, explained why being in Shively was so important for bourbon history. As a native Kentuckian, even she had to leave Louisville to return to Bourbon. Our Cocktail of the Week is the Kentucky Meadow Hot Toddy Ingredients 1 Smith Teamaker Meadow Sachet 1¼ oz. Bulleit Bourbon Green apple peel Cinnamon stick 1 tablespoon raw honey or maple syrup Apple wedge Nutmeg Method Place 1 Smith Teamaker Meadow sachet in a cup or mug Add boiling water, leaving room for the whiskey Steep 5 min Add 1 1/4 oz.

Kevin Didio, Manager of Kentucky Visitor Experience at Bulleit Frontier Experience, talks about his career in bourbon with multiple distilleries, dives into the history of Stitzel-Weller and IW Harper, and talks about the visitor attractions you can see at the reinstated Stitzel-Weller Distillery. Talk about your role here at the Bulleit Frontier. Before we talk about some of the other positions you've held, Talk about how you got into bourbon. I found my calling in college, what about you? Talk about your career with various players in the industry Talk about more about your time at Jim Beam and what you were doing This is also the historic site of the Old Fitzgerald / Stitzel-Weller Distillery. Now, we do have a lot of people listening for the education, so talk about the history of the distillery itself. Can you comment on what you think made people Stitzel-Weller crazy? Talk about what's happening on the grounds here today. Distillation? Aging? Bottling? Brands? Is there a possibility that Bulleit can have the same product as the famed Stitzel-Weller? Talk about the bottling happening here Give people the small run-down of Bulleit history Talk about Blade and Bow It's a bit of an odd duck here because this is owned by Diageo. You've got a whole heap of brands that you can talk about. Bulleit, IW Harper, Orphan Barrels, blade and Bow etc. Talk about which one of those you have a bigger fascination with and why At this point, I guess we never talked about some IW Harper history. Can you school us there? Talk about a typical tour done here? How can people schedule tours?  

Tim Judge, Global Ambassador for Bulleit Bourbon, dives into the Bulleit Bourbon origination and all the new expansion taking place. Tell us about your journey into whiskey Why did you choose Bulleit as your spirit of choice in the portfolio? What lessons did you take away from Tom after meeting him? We’ve had plenty of ambassadors on the show that talk about going around t different places and telling bartenders about their bourbon or attending events and handing out cocktails. but you’re a “global” ambassador, what more does that entail? You also have passion outside of spirits, talk about that For those folks who are unfamiliar, which I think would be pretty hard to do at this point, tell people about Bulleit bourbon. Also let’s talk individually about the different expressions that are available. and what makes each unique or special. sort of the pitch that you would do during a tasting event. Bulliet Bourbon has the tagline that says “Frontier Whiskey”. The thing of it is, you would probably never want to drink Frontier Whiskey And marketing plays a heavy role in the label positioning as well, talk about that. Bulleit is now owned by Diageo and is hypothesized to be distilled by Four Roses. However, mistake me if I’m wrong, I believe that the agreement or contract with Four Roses is going to be coming to an end and distillation is going to be moving to the Bulleit Frontier experience at the acclaimed Stitzel-Weller Distillery. Do you see a change in the flavor profile coming as new operations come online? We had Carol Perry back on the show back in episode 23 and you had the opportunity to meet with him. What did you think? Back to you, a lot of people here in the states are starting their own bourbon and whiskey collections, trying to round up as many as they can for the fun of tasting and even for potential profit, do you have a big collection yourself? This is a question from Blake @ bourbonr.com - if you want to make some classic bourbon cocktails, what are some of the ingredients you should always have on hand?

Earlier this year, Japan's Nikka Whisky announced plans to replace many of its age-statement single malts with new no-age-statement versions. The company's past projections of estimated demand couldn't have forecast the current boom in Japanese whisky sales, and Nikka didn't lay down enough whisky to meet today's demand. We'll discuss the situation with Nikka's chief blender, Tadashi Sakuma, on this week's WhiskyCast In-Depth. In the news, Brown-Forman has started construction of its new distillery at Ireland's Slane Castle, and the popularity of flavored whiskies may lead to a sale of its Southern Comfort whiskey liqueur. Heaven Hill's warehouses have yielded a treasure from the old Stitzel-Weller Distillery, and we now know what The Glenlivet's Alan Winchester had in mind when he hinted earlier this year that he'd been experimenting with peat.

For decades, the legendary Stitzel-Weller Distillery in the Louisville suburb of Shively has been a mystery for Bourbon lovers. Now, the distillery made famous by Pappy Van Winkle has opened its doors to the public as the home of the Bulleit Frontier Whiskey Experience.

It's Kentucky Bourbon Festival week, and there's a lot of news coming out of Bourbon Country these days. Thousands of Bourbon lovers descended on Bardstown and the Louisville area for the annual festival, which comes as Diageo opened the new Bulleit Frontier Whiskey Experience at Louisville's historic Stitzel-Weller Distillery to the public for the first time, the Kentucky Bourbon Hall of Fame welcomed a new member, and much more. In the news, Diageo and The Explorers Club have settled their legal differences, while the next hearing in the Balcones Distilling dispute has been delayed until October 7. We'll also get reaction to this week's decision by Scottish voters to stick with the United Kingdom...for now.

Alwynne Gwilt couldn't stand whisky...hated it, in fact. That is, until a former boss in London dragged the Canadian expat to a media tasting. It's not quite the same transformation Peter Parker had following his encounter with a radioactive spider, but that evening turned Alwynne into "Miss Whisky". Now, she's on her own blogging, freelance writing, and leading whisky tastings...and joins us for this week's WhiskyCast In-Depth. In the news, Diageo plans to open Stitzel-Weller Distillery in Louisville to the public, but there are still no official plans to restart production...yet. Beam loses a preliminary battle in its legal fight over Irish whiskey supplies, Teeling Whiskey gets more distribution in Latin America, and The Glenrothes uncovers a single cask from 1969.

This week's WhiskyCast comes from Forty Creek Distillery's annual Whisky Weekend in Grimsby, Ontario. Forty Creek's John Hall makes his whisky differently from any other distiller, and we'll deconstruct Forty Creek Barrel Select on this week's WhiskyCast In-Depth during a Whisky Weekend tasting session with John, Davin de Kergommeaux, and Johanne McInnis. In the news, a WhiskyCast exclusive -- Diageo's supply of whiskey for Bulleit Bourbon from Four Roses will be cut off next spring, and that could force Diageo to make a decision on the future of the long-closed Stitzel-Weller Distillery in Louisville.

Georgina Bell is part of a new generation of whisky connoisseurs, and is already making her place in the whisky industry as an ambassador for the Scotch Malt Whisky Society. She'll explain how one goes from studying whisky in college to traveling the world promoting it two and a half years later during WhiskyCast In-Depth. In the news, there's word that the Stitzel-Weller Distillery in Louisville may be reopening after 22 years in mothballs, another proposed Scotch distillery gets government assistance, and there are new whiskies from Glenfiddich and The Balvenie.

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.
