10 Years of Brooklyn-Style Rye

We'll start the New Year off with an anniversary...the 1oth
anniversary for the New York Distilling Co. in Brooklyn's North
Williamsburg neighborhood. Allen Katz and his partners opened
their distillery in what was at the time a fairly run-down
neighborhood, only to see gentrification take shape around them.
As Allen discloses on WhiskyCast In-Depth for the first time,
that's forcing them to make plans to move to a new location in
the very near future both to expand production and comply with
the city's pending changes to fire safety codes for distilleries.
He'll also explain why they decided to focus almost exclusively
on making rye whiskies, including a special 10th anniversary
single barrel edition of Ragtime Rye selected by legendary
bartender Dale DeGroff. In the news, Europe's tariffs on American
whiskies are now officially suspended with the arrival of 2022,
and U.S. distillers are jumping back into the European market.
We'll get an update on construction plans for Penderyn's third
distillery in Wales, and noted chef David Burke tells us about
next week's Beef and Bourbon Dinners at nine of his restaurants
to raise money for Western Kentucky tornado victims.
