Bourbon...Not Just for the Boys Any More! (Episode 756: February 24, 2019)

There's a long tradition of fathers and sons in whisky
distilling, but Kentucky's Jeptha Creed Distillery is one of the
few distilleries where mother and daughter run the show. Joyce
Nethery is the head distiller at the family-owned distillery east
of Louisville, while Autumn Nethery is both co-owner and in
charge of marketing. Joyce's husband Bruce grows all of the grain
for their whiskies and other spirits on the family's 1,000 acres
of farmland, including the heirloom Bloody Butcher corn that
plays a key role in their soon-to-be-released straight Bourbon.
We'll meet the Netherys on WhiskyCast In-Depth and taste their
new Bourbon, too. In the news, Balcones Distilling is releasing
its first permanent Bourbon...a Texas Pot Still Bourbon distilled
from roasted blue corn and  Texas-grown grain. We'll also
have an update on Penderyn's expansion plans in Wales, another
distillery opening in Ireland, and much more!
