A New Riff on Distilling (WhiskyCast Episode 712: July 8, 2018)

Ken Lewis has accomplished a lot of things in his life, from
climbing Alaska's Denali to owning one of Kentucky's largest
chains of liquor stores. Four years ago, he sold The Party Source
stores to his employees and opened New Riff Distilling in
Newport, Kentucky to start making whiskey instead of selling it.
At the end of this month, the first New Riff Bourbon will go on
sale - a four-year-old Bottled in Bond Bourbon. We'll talk with
Ken about his disruptive approach to life and whiskey on
WhiskyCast In-Depth. In the news, the cleanup project at
Kentucky's Barton 1792 Distillery has doubled after the second
half of a rickhouse collapsed on Wednesday, China's new tariffs
on American Whiskey exports have gone into effect, and there are
plenty of new whiskies to talk about, too!
