What would you do if you built a brewery from the ground up, helped change state laws, grew it into the largest craft brewery in the state—and then got voted off the island? Zac Triemert lived it. “I got whacked,” he says. What followed felt less like a business breakup and more like a setup by so-called partners to push him out of a thriving company. So what’s next—quit, get bitter, or walk away? If you’re Zac Triemert of Cut Spike Distillery and Brickway Distillery, you rebuild. Armed wit...

It’s one thing to have a job — it’s another to live your craft. When someone proudly calls themselves a “Whiskey Guy,” you know you’ve found people fueled by passion, not just a paycheck. In Clarksville, Tennessee, we met a group of true Whiskey Guys at Old Glory Distilling Co. From grain to glass, their dedication to America’s native spirit is unmistakable.

Let's be real, most whiskey marketing stories are just a bunch of hooey! They're like the tall tales of the Wild West, but with more barrels and beards. But, some distilleries are all about keeping it real, like Blaum Bros. Distillery in Galena, Illinois. They're the whiskey equivalent of that one friend who always tells it like it is, no fluff or fancy words needed.

On this episode, we get to try a whiskey that was being phased out by one distillery, but is now being brought back by the brothers of the family that once owned it. It's historically significant in the whiskey-sphere, but largely forgotten execept by those whiskey nerds that know of it. And now, it's being brought back by the family that used to make it.

There are lots of myths and misunderstandings about making Bourbon. Seems like everyone "knows" what the scoop is.

Including the rules about what it goes into once it's made and how long it has to be in the barrel.
