Farewell To a Whisky Maker (Episode 738: November 4, 2018)

This time around, we're on the road in Kilkenny, Ireland, but
with heavy hearts. The whisky world lost one of its leaders
Thursday night with the death of Master Distiller Dave Pickerell
in San Francisco. Dave was truly deserving of the Master
Distiller title. After leaving Maker's Mark in 2008, he helped
dozens of craft distillers and entrepreneurs get into the whisky
business, earning him the nickname of craft distilling's Johnny
Appleseed. We'll honor his legacy in this episode, while also
looking at the local whiskey scene in Kilkenny. Nine whiskey bars
and one retailer make up the Kilkenny Whiskey Guild, and are
working together to make Kilkenny a destination for whiskey
lovers visiting Ireland.
