Virginia: A Place for Whiskey Lovers (WhiskyCast Episode 722: September 2, 2018)

Virginia's distilling history dates back to at least 1620, and
while many whiskey lovers know about George Washington's
Distillery at Mount Vernon, it's just one of the state's 70
distilleries making everything from rum and vodka to single malt
whiskies. September is Virginia Spirits Month, and we'll visit
some of those distilleries and find out more about what's shaping
up to be a model partnership between the state and its craft
distillers on WhiskyCast In-Depth. In the news, the impact of
tariffs on American whiskey exports is forcing Brown-Forman to
revise its profit estimates - and raise prices, while Pernod
Ricard is projecting an increase in profits for its fiscal year.
We'll have details on those stories and more, including the
week's new whiskies and an honor for one of Australia's leading
distillers.
