Steve Malloy of Malloy’s Finest and Eric Rosentreter of Old Elk are back to discuss the financial side of whiskey and to drink some American spirits. While sipping on Virginia Distilling Co.’s collaboration with Goose Island and Old Grand Dad 16, we discuss how legacy brands are releasing more LTO’s and earlier than usual; and is building a brand on LTO’s a viable option. We also hit on the small batch blenders and their importance, retailers coming to realization that they’re not the whiskey account that thought they were, and the current glut of whiskey that producers are in.

Wilson Torres, Whistle Pig, and Eric Rosentreter, Old Elk, join me to breakdown my current dilemma of: The corporate structure, perhaps, the corporate stranglehold on the whiskey industry is killing the soul of the spirit distilled from grain. Noncreative charlatans are the current gatekeepers, while the artists, the teachers, the culture-keepers are sidelined by capitalistic greed. The boys have their own thoughts and guide me through this predicament.
