This week on The Whiskey Trip Podcast, Big Chief travels north to South Dakota to visit and chat with his friend, patriot, statesmen, and distillery owner, Eldon Nygaard. Eldon and his son, Leif, talk about Eldon’s amazing life story and the dream of opening a distillery.

In the first half Big Chief, Eldon, and Leif sip on a glass of the Clay Turner South Dakota Straight Bourbon that has been aged four years and is 80 proof. In the second half the guys sample the Clay Turner Rye, aged five years and is 80 proof. They finish off the show sipping on a glass of the Clay Turner Rye that is bottled at 108.2 proof. Yes, it hit the spot.

This ride on The Whiskey Trip documents the life and times of Eldon Nygaard, who is a true American hero, veteran, and Purple Heart recipient so that his sacrifices for our way of life are not forgotten. It’s men and women like him that are the reason we maintain our freedoms of speech, expression, and sometimes a great glass of whiskey with friends.

Cheers!
