35 Years on Forty Creek

Forty Creek master blender Bill Ashburn celebrated his 35th
anniversary in the whisky business this week, and he's one of
those blenders content to stay out of the spotlight most of the
time. Ashburn and John Hall put Canadian Whisky on a new course
in 2000 when they released the Forty Creek Barrel Select and
Three Grain whiskies, and Ashburn's whiskies have won countless
awards since then. He'll join us on this week's WhiskyCast
In-Depth. In the news, we have details on the U.S. government's
proposal to create an official definition for American Single
Malt whiskies, along with Beam Suntory's plans to invest $400
million to expand production at the Booker Noe Distillery in
Kentucky.
