Jamie Baxter is a Distillery Consultant who has designed and built more than 100 distilleries over the past 15 years. He setup the Chase Vodka Distillery in Herefordshire in 2008, built the City of London Distillery, East London Liquor Company, and distilleries in Europe and India. On the episode we discuss his transition from cereal manufacturing to potato vodka distilling when he joined Willian Chase in Herefordshire, some of his consultancy projects, along with the pitfalls of building a distillery from scratch. Jamie gives a brief rundown of the various factors that go into making a great gin, then we finish by talking about the Chinese spirit baijiu (arguably the most popular spirit in the world), which Jamie became an ambassador of after a recent trip to China.To support this podcast please like and subscribe.This episode is sponsored by Fever-Tree mixers.
