We talk with Chris Montana, founder of Du Nord, Minnesota’s FIRST black-owned distillery. DuNord is a favorite of Uncle Brad's, and it is likely to be yours after hearing Chris’ story and how they operate at Du Nord. We hear how Chris got started, his philosophy on hiring talent and pie, and the foundation they created from the ashes of their business when it burned down during the George Floyd riots of 2020. Oh, and Brad gives us the recipe for the Turf Club Martini (see below).

In mixing glass add:

2 oz of Du Nord Prominice Gin

¾ oz dry vermouth

¼ oz maraschino liqueur
