This episode was recorded on the night of Caña's 9th anniversary and was celebrated in style with the launch of a brand new Rhum Clément single barrel that can ONLY be purchased at the bar.

if you talk to Amir Peay, he'll tell you up front that he's a whiskey nerd. After multiple attempts to start a whiskey brand, he decided that it would be a good idea to revive the old James E. Pepper distillery using their original mash build. We're glad he did, because that's what he's talking about on this podcast! Join us as Amir walks us through the process of how he built his own distillery from the ground up and made the four expressions we're tasting on this episode!
