The Barrel Report

Taking a moment to reflect on Master Distiller Parker Beam after his passing and to offer some resources on how you can help honor his legacy.

This episode is more of an uncut/unfiltered episode as you will hear...sorry for the sound quality but we still thought it worth sharing since the BHDC crew has so much news coming down the pike.

In our latest release, we hit Owensboro and O.Z. Tyler distillery for a short interview with Earl Hewlette, the brains behind the rehab of the Old Medley Distillery into a very impressive and modern operation. Also some quick news from the Annual Meeting of the KDA and of course, "Name The Distillery."

An early release to ease the pain of holiday travel, we hit up the team at Moonshine University for a wide ranging discussion on the state of the distilling industry, frontline hospitality training, and koi ponds. We also talk about our high-tech audio-visual equipment and come close to renaming the podcast. Thanks to Colin Blake and Kevin Hall for the interviews and let's get these guys their own show.

In our latest release, we visit Dueling Grounds Distillery in Franklin, KY. Also, we drop some industry news on Angel's Envy and the Kentucky Bourbon Affair along with another shot of "Name That Distillery." Plus, cook Thanksgiving with Bourbon in every dish...

In this release, we catch up with Clay Smith at Corsair Distillery to talk about their releases, their history, and to test Clay's memory on mash bills.

Catching Master Distiller Denny Potter in a rickhouse makes for a fun and full spectrum-of-the-senses interview. We talk about the newest special releases from Heaven Hill as well as some of the classic brands. Also cover some industry news and bring back an audio scavenger hunt of sorts...

Knee-deep in prep for their big grand opening, we take a few minutes to catch up with the Jeptha Creed Distillery team and learn about how they got involved in the industry and what products they will be making.

We grab Master Distiller Brent Elliott of Four Roses for a quick conversation during the Kentucky Bourbon Festival.

We sit down with Andrew Buchanan of Hartfield & Co. Distillery on the eve of their soon to open new location.
