Choosing Passion

Melissa Rift's career path is anything but traditional for a
whisky maker. She started out as a family therapist before
discovering her passion for Bourbon, and it's led her to become
the new master taster for Old Forester. We'll explore her journey
and her passion for whisky on this week's WhiskyCast In-Depth. In
the news, Jack Daniel's has been ordered to stop work on one of
its new barrel houses after a neighbor sued over whisky fungus
problems, while Kentucky distillers are hoping a bill pending in
the state legislature could mean the end of the "barrel tax."
