Elixir: San Francisco's Best Whisky Bar

San Francisco’s Elixir dates its history back to 1858, when it
opened in the city’s Mission District along a plank road at the
corner of what is now 16th and Guerrero. The bar still has its
Gold Rush-era look and feel, thanks to careful restoration work
led by owner H. Joseph Ehrmann. We’ll talk with head bartender
Nick Madden and general manager Shea Shawnson on this week’s
WhiskyCast In-Depth. In the news, English Whisky is a step closer
to getting its own geographical indicator status, though not
without some objections. Campari is considering layoffs because
of declining Cognac sales, and Suntory Holdings is reporting a
slight gain in 2024 sales. We’ll have the details, along with the
week’s tasting notes and much more.
