Ep. 45: Colin Keegan, Santa Fe Spirits

The Whiskey Ring Podcast ·

2022/06/08

Hey Whiskey Ringers, thanks for tuning in to another episode of the Whiskey Ring Podcast. This week's guest is Colin Keegan, founder of Santa Fe Spirits. In just over a decade as a distiller, Colin has gone from newbie to veteran to industry powerhouse, all while maintaining the cool, calm, informed demeanor that mixes his childhood in Northern England with his life in Santa Fe. Santa Fe Spirits, in my opinion, is on the leading edge of the American Single Malt movement. Their core products are

The Whiskey Ring Podcast ·

2022/05/25

That's right, he's back! Welcome Whiskey Ringers to Episode 44, the return of the Alchemist himself, Alan Bishop. The star of this episode is one of Alan's newer concoctions, The Whiskey Witch, a wheat, oat, barley, and Indiana peat-smoked mash that defies categorization. Seriously - we don't know how this will be categorized! As always, this episode with Alan is a blast. I can't wait to visit Spirits of French Lick and see his Alchemist Cabinet in person.

2022/05/18

Welcome Whiskey Ringers to Episode 43! Today's guest is Victoria Eady Butler, Master Blender and 5th-generation descendant of the distillery's namesake, Nathan "Nearest" Green. Uncle Nearest Distillery is no stranger to the Whiskey Ring: earlier this year, Fawn Weaver joined the Podcast for a conversation about the Distillery's place in the whiskey world and a retrospective on the then-and-now of its history. Delving deep into Uncle Nearest as a man, the ways Fawn endeavored to bring his legacy

2022/05/11

Welcome Whiskey Ringers to Episode 42! Today's guest is Chris Swonger, President and CEO of the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States (DISCUS) and Responsibility.org. Chris has a long history in the spirits world, but after ten years away he was asked to take the reins of the industry's leading advocacy organization. In 2019, he assumed his role, leading both DISCUS and the alcohol-use awareness organization, Responsibility.org. We discuss how DISCUS is the "tip of the spear" for the

Welcome Whiskey Ringers to Episode 41! Today's guest is Erik Wolfe, co-founder of Stoll & Wolfe Distillery in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Erik founded Stoll & Wolfe with the late Dick Stoll, who worked for decades at Bomberger's (later Michter's) Distillery until it closed in 1989. After nearly three decades, Erik convinced Dick to come out of retirement to found a brand new distillery honoring Pennsylvania Whiskey tradition.

2022/04/27

Welcome Whiskey Ringers to Episode 40! Today's guest is Joshua Hatton, co-founder of Single Cask Nation (SCN). SCN is one of the most popular independent bottlers on the planet, with every release a near-instant sellout. But it wasn't always this way. Join us as we talk starting up an independent bottler, how to choose where to pick your barrels, turning barrels down, and the picks that went under the radar.

Ep. 39: Watershed Distillery with Founder and CEO...

The Whiskey Ring Podcast ·

2022/04/20

Welcome Whiskey Ringers! Today's guest comes to me via Bourbon & Banter, where I reviewed Watershed Distillery's Apple Brandy-finished Bourbon and their Bottled-in-Bond Bourbon last year. I got to try their original cask strength (5-grain, including spelt) and their apple brandy, too. TL;DR, I'm impressed. Watershed is putting out solid bourbon with its own unique twist, and it's priced at a point where you can take a flier and not regret it if it's not your thing. I also won the Watershed/Eaves

2022/04/13

Welcome Whiskey Ringers! Today we venture to the great north - Rochester, NY. Black Button Distilling is doing grain-to-glass right, using New York grain in their Four-Grain Straight Bourbon, Empire Rye, Cask Strength Bourbon, and more. You'll taste the grains, you'll taste the bourbon - and you'll love it. Don't skip the cream, by the way. There are only 5 tickets left for the Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey Event!

Ep. 37: Dancing Goat Distillery with Nick Maas

The Whiskey Ring Podcast ·

2022/04/06

Today we venture to the Midwest - Wisconsin - to Dancing Goat Distillery. Founder Nick Maas and his team are doing things that few distilleries would do (or would admit to doing), blending their own product with sourced whiskey to achieve something greater than the sum of its parts. Plus, Nick is insane in the best way (as he will admit) and this is a blast of an interview. There are only 5 tickets left for the Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey Event!

Ep. 36: Will Shragis, Barrell Craft Spirits and Stellum

The Whiskey Ring Podcast ·

2022/03/30

Today is Barrell Day! Barrell Craft Spirits takes up more room on my shelves than any distillery or producer other than Heaven Hill and Highland Park. Their 95/5 rye single barrels are my go-to, the experimental finishes are at minimum interesting and often extraordinary, and the new Gray Label Seagrass and Gray Label 24 Year Old are whiskies to hunt for.

Today we're getting nerdy with Dr. Pat Heist, fermentation specialist extraordinaire and distiller at Wilderness Trail Distillery. We get deep into the science and variations on fermenting, distillation, enzymatic activity, and sweet mash. It's a geek-out, but I think you'll love it.

ImpEx Beverages might not be the name you know best, but here are some others: Kilchoman. Single Cask Nation. Adelphi Selection. Ohishi and Fukano. Port Askaig. These are just some of the brands, independent bottlers, and distilleries within the ImpEx umbrella.

Ep. 32: Ammunition Whiskey with Founder Andy Wahl

The Whiskey Ring Podcast ·

2022/03/02

You might be more familiar with Daylight Wine and Spirits' Ammunition Wines, a California winery producing bold reds. What you might not know is that under a year ago, Ammunition branched out into whiskey, finishing MGP bourbon in their own Cabernet Sauvignon barrels and MGP rye in their own Pinot Noir barrels. Both show a skillful balance of spirit and finish - and a deep understanding of how their wine can elevate the bourbon and rye to the next level. If you haven’t joined the Patreon community,

Ep. 31: Uncle Nearest Retrospective with Fawn Weaver...

The Whiskey Ring Podcast ·

2022/02/25

Back in 2016, Clay Risen wrote an article for the Times about a man named Nathan “Nearest” Green. Fawn Weaver, an author and entrepreneur, was halfway around the world in Singapore when she read the article. That moment would change both of their lives. This week’s episode and the live event focused on the man and his legacy, the growth and future of his eponymous whiskey brand, and how Uncle Nearest is pushing the industry to face its own history, even if that history shakes them to the core.

2022/02/16

Welcome to Episode 30 of the Whiskey Ring Podcast. My guests today are Scott Manning and Rich Morrow, founders of BoozApp. With the tagline #dontgetrobbed, BoozApp lays down its gauntlet front and center. BoozApp provides three key pieces of information for the spirits community: MSRPs, Shelf Price, and Fair Price, a community-driven data point that can be voted on by actual drinkers.

The Whiskey Ring Podcast ·

2022/02/09

Welcome to Episode 29 of the Whiskey Ring Podcast. My guest today is Brandon Joldersma of Still Austin Distillery in Austin, Texas. Texas whiskey is undoubtedly a growing category all its own, but inside that category is a massive spectrum, from great barrel proof bourbons and full-flavored winners to one-year-old whiskies that aren’t ready to clean floors. Count Still Austin’s core product, The Musician, among the former. Brandon and I talk Still Austin, The Musician, Texas distilling, and

Ep. 28: MGP with David Whitmer, Master Blender

2022/01/26

If you're into whiskey and haven't heard of MGP (Midwestern Grain Products), what have you been drinking?!?! Today's episode brings David Whitmer, Master Blender (among other titles) for this distilling behemoth. David may be a VP, but as I found out he spends more time on the floor than he does behind a desk. If you do know about MGP, your first thought might be "sourcing", and you wouldn't be wrong. The major thing to consider - and something David and I talk about for some time - is that to have

2022/01/19

The Whiskey Ring Podcast returns Michter's Master Distiller Emerita Pam Heilmann. It was a thrill to talk with Pam and explore her history before whiskey, at Beam, and at Michter's, including overseeing the transition from contract distillaton to Michter's own equipment, managing the largest bourbon plant in the world for Beam, and what her favorite of all these jobs was - I promise, you'll want to listen through...the answer might surprise you. _______________________________________ If you

2022/01/12

After 1300 tastings, it's so rare to come across something truly new and exciting at the same time. Enter Takamine 8-year-old whiskey, a koji-fermented and double distilled spirit from Fukuoka in southern Japan. Named after Jokichi Takamine, one of the most influential and under-known men in both Japanese and American history, this whiskey with an "e" is unlike anything I've had before and something I urge you to try. Christopher Pellegrini, founder, and Stephen Lyman, ambassador, for Honkaku
