We’re about to hit 2000 visitors to the blog and that makes us as happy as this here pig! (who incidentally belongs to me, her name is Schnitzel): To celebrate, we have a great interview recorded with Chris Evans of Bluegrass Tavern here in Lexington that I’ll try and upload it once we hit the…
According to the TTB, 1792 has a bunch of new additions that may come out sometime soon. I use hesitant language on purpose because getting a label approved doesn’t mean that things will actually come out.

For the next cast we’re playing around with home blends of whiskey. I say whiskey because currently I’m using some Smooth Ambler rye. We’re going to attempt to make some blends that are greater than the sum of their readily available …
It has been FAR too long. We apologize for our absence, but we really think this is a solid cast. We did a lot of research and have tried to do a thorough explanation of what the flavor compounds are in bourbon and where they come from; down to the molecular level! Special thanks to…
