Slainte, Cask Chasers

Well, Cask Chasers, we have reached the end of Season 1 for the Cask Chasers Podcast. Before we take a break, the guys and I wanted to look back on the last 4 months, and 24 episodes, of what has been an incredible ride so far. From live episodes to all of our amazing guests, and everything in between, we take a look at some of our favorite moments. We started this podcast wanting to give everyone an equal platform to enjoy, learn and share the whisky world with each other. All along the way, we had a lot of fun. Join us as we take a look back.

Wilderness Trail Distillery

For all you bourbon lovers out there, we have another great distillery on the show to talk about their line of bourbons. This week we have the co-founder of Wilderness Trail Distillery, Dr. Patrick Heist, out of Danville Kentucky. Dr. Heist shares how Wilderness Trail emphasizes the use of locally sourced ingredients, and why they choose a slightly different process in mash and proof. We also discuss the importance of that perfect yeast combination during the fermentation stage, and Dr. Heist breaks down the science on several of the other distillation steps giving us a glimpse into the hard work that goes into making the amazing bourbon at Wilderness Trail Distillery.

Falls Church Distillers

This week we have the father son duo from Falls Church Distillers out of Virgina and they have called in to the Cask Chasers Podcast to discuss their great whisky coming out of the DC Metro area. Michael gives us a glimpse from the business and marketing side of distilling while his son, Lorenzo, breaks down the process on an impressive scientific level. It will leave you with a far greater appreciation for the amount of work that goes into crafting that perfect bourbon. The group from Falls Church Distillers reminded us just how much passion goes into a micro distillery and the results speak for themselves.
