Bourbon & Cuisine in Louisville’s Butchertown (Episode 731: October 11, 2018)

Louisville's Butchertown got its name from the stockyards and
meat processing plants that dominated the neighborhood a century
or more ago. Today, it's a thriving, trendy neighborhood that's
home to the Butchertown Grocery. Chef Bobby Benjamin opened the
restaurant and Lola, its upstairs cocktail lounge, with an eye to
great cooking - and great whiskey. Not only are there plenty of
private barrel Bourbons behind the bar, but whiskey is also a key
ingredient in many of the restaurant's recipes. Chef Bobby
Benjamin joins us on WhiskyCast In-Depth to talk about picking
private barrels - and a surprising way to use the char that comes
out of those barrels! In the news, Diageo's plans for reviving
Brora Distillery have received local approval, while Ireland's
tough new alcohol bill is a signature away from becoming law.
