This week we welcome Rifino Valentine, founder of Valentine Distilling and Mayor Pingree Whiskey. We sit down and talk about how he got into the whiskey business and all the changes and growth he has seen since starting Valentine Distilling. He has an awesome perspective on what it takes to make good whiskey and has been in the game since before the boom. It was great having him on the show, learning more about the good whiskey the state of Michigan is making and tasting through some badass bottles of Mayor Pingree on this weeks Bourbon Showdown Podcast!
