September 29, 2022377 - Architecting A Bourbon Distillery with Cash and Eric of Joseph & Joseph + Bravura
You may remember back on Episode 334 we talked about the engineering that goes into a distillery, but we forgot to start off with a key component, and that's the architecture. A quick google search for distillery architects will lead you to one place, Joseph, & Joseph + Bravura. This architecture firm is synonymous with creating the most iconic distillery and visitor center experiences across Kentucky. They got their start by designing Four Roses back in 1909 and have since then been the lead architects on places like Old Forester in downtown Louisville, Bardstown Bourbon Co, Michter's, LuxRow, Angel's Envy and so many more. We're joined by Cash Moter and Eric Huelsman who are both partners in the firm. We discuss the history of the firm and then we dive into what it takes to architect a distillery. Where to start and how do you design around constraints.

Show Notes:
Above the Char with Fred Minnick (@fredminnick) ask what would happen if prohibition never happened
How did you all become the premier place to go for architecting distilleries?
How did the two firms come together?
What other focuses did Joseph and Joseph have when bourbon was slow?

Who's idea was it to start building rickhouse walls out of glass?
What constraints do you typically have to work with?
What was your initial reaction to the bourbon pyramids?
How do you blend in old world and new world architecture?
Do you have all the blueprints from the early 1900s for some distilleries?
Do you envision being the one stop for having a distillery architect team?
Can you have an AirBNB inside of a distillery?

September 22, 2022376 - Do More Brands Signal an Oncoming Glut? Is Russell's Single Rickhouse Worthy of $250? Why Did Angel's Envy Hire A Master Distiller? on Bourbon Community Roundtable #72
There are new investments made into multi-million dollar distilleries every week it seems. There are more brands and product extensions popping up everyday. Yet, there's a shortage of barrels that are putting a strain on existing production. But when all this evens out and everything gets produced as planned, are we going to see an overproduction and what could be the result? Russell's Reserve is coming out with their new limited edition Single Rickhouse line extension. Sure, it features barrels that are selected from the former Camp Nelson C, but does it warrant a price tag of $250? Lastly, we look at the announcement of Angel's Envy hiring Owen Martin to be their next Master Distiller. Angel's Envy hasn't had a Master Distiller since the passing of Lincoln Henderson in 2013 who co-founded the brand. Is this an attempt to fill a void that is missing after Wes Henderson announced his retirement?

Show Notes:
Above the Char with Fred Minnick (@fredminnick) talks about who might be the next Dave Pickerell.
There are more brands and product extensions popping up every day. This is a side effect of the boom but what will happen when everything evens out, production goes as planned, and then we see an overproduction?
Russell’s Reserve has debuted an all-new, annual limited-edition collection: Russell’s Reserve Single Rickhouse. However, the price tag is $250. Is this deserving of that premium price tag?
Angel's Envy hasn't had a Master Distiller since the passing of Lincoln Henderson in 2013 who co-founded the brand. Is this an attempt to fill a void that is missing after Wes Henderson announced his retirement?

September 15, 2022375 - The Science of Whiskey Maturation with Ale Ochoa of TX Whiskey
Whiskey is an amazing product. It's a testament of blending science and nature to create something that didn't exist naturally. And during that process from grain to bottle, you can manipulate a multitude of variables to create a brand new type of whiskey or some flavor nuance that hasn't been discovered. TX Whiskey is a growing brand and they have some strong pedigree of people working to shape their whiskey profile. We're joined by Ale Ochoa who is their whiskey scientist. She analyzes, studies, and makes suggestions on what to do with finished whiskey at TX but also has an influence during every step of the process. We talk about how she landed her dream job after college at TX what how she is learning about particular barrel placements in the warehouses and finishes.

Show Notes:
Above the Char with Fred Minnick (@fredminnick) talks cocktail culture of the spirits industry
Was there ever an influence of whiskey in your family?
What was it about whiskey that made you focus your college studies on it?
Did you choose the title of Whiskey Scientist?
Have you had any discoveries or big takeaways with aging in Texas?
Does the fermentation process have a different effect in Texas?
Can you talk about the wood and cooperage you're using?
How are you determining when to pull sample lots?
Do you have a hypothesis of what will happen to barrels and oak aging in different locations?
Why did you decided to get into the finished barrel category?
So what barrel finishes did not work?
Are you blending both of your warehouse locations together or keeping them separate?
