Mary Dowling: The Mother of Bourbon

Mary Dowling was a pioneer among women in distilling. She ran
distilleries and cooperages with her husband John before and
after his death in 1903, and is the subject of a new historical
novel, “Mother of Bourbon” by Eric Goodman and Kaveh Zamanian.
Zamanian is the founder of Rabbit Hole Distillery in Louisville,
and recently released a series of whiskies bearing Mary Dowling’s
name. He’ll join us on this week’s WhiskyCast In-Depth, and we’ll
taste one of Mary’s whiskies in the What I’m Tasting This Week
Department. In the news, the courts are getting involved in
President Donald Trump’s trade war, while economic conditions
have prompted a major Scottish maltster to postpone its expansion
plans.
