Malting Barley for Future Generations of Whisky Lovers

This week, we'll wrap up our two-part tour of Gladfield Malt in
New Zealand, where Gabi and Doug Mitchell have turned the
family's barley farm into one of the country's leading malt
suppliers. The Mitchells think a lot about the future, one in
which they hope to see their three kids take on key roles in the
family business. Gabi Mitchell will share that part of their
story with us on WhiskyCast In-Depth. In the news, fundraising
campaigns for the Minneapolis distillery and its neighbors
devastated by fires during the recent protests over police
brutality have raised more than half a million dollars so far,
while African-American Bourbon lovers are blasting one whiskey
brand for posting racist comments online and other brands for
staying silent on the issue. We'll also have the latest
pandemic-related event news, including a possible change of plans
for this September's Kentucky Bourbon Festival.
