A New Generation at Michter's (Episode 765: April 28, 2019)

Pam Heilmann's been making Bourbon for her entire career, but it
was only in the last three years that she had the title of Master
Distiller after she succeeded Willie Pratt at Michter's
Distillery in the Louisville suburb of Shively. Now, she's
heading into retirement this week, but will have the title of
"Master Distiller Emerita" at Michter's while her hand-picked
successor, Dan McKee, takes over the day to day responsibility.
We'll talk with both of them on this week's WhiskyCast In-Depth.
In the news, the Bardstown Bourbon Company has put its first
whiskey into a bottle. We'll talk with Steve Nally and have
tasting notes for it, too. Arran's new Lagg Distillery has
started laying down casks of whisky for the future, and we'll
have details on new whiskies from Gordon & MacPhail, The
Glenlivet, Tamdhu, and more.
