T is for Texas and Terroir

This week, we’re going to geek out with the results of two
studies comparing whiskies matured in Texas with the same whiskey
matured elsewhere. Milam and Greene’s Heather Greene joins us to
explain her team’s decision to age otherwise identical whiskey in
Texas and Kentucky, while Jared Himstedt and Gabe Richarde of
Balcones Distilling share the findings of their experiment
maturing the same single malt whiskey in four different
locations. We’ll also taste the Milam and Greene whiskies, which
are being released this week in a two-bottle set. In the news,
new U.S. trade tariffs on the European Union are being delayed
until July 9 to allow more time for negotiations, while Diageo
says tariffs could cost the company $150 million this year.
