The Whiskey Trip - Season 2, Episode 29 - Lisa Roper Wicker, Master Distiller & Founder - Saints & Monsters Distillery/Distilling Consulting

1 hour 21 minutes

This week on The Whiskey Trip Podcast, Big Chief takes a ride to the Bourbon Capital of the World to chat with Lisa Wicker, Master Distiller and Founder of Saints and Monsters Distillery/Distilling Consulting.

Lisa tells listeners about her journey from seamstress, to wine maker, and then to whiskey. Lisa is the living example that everything in life happens for a reason. From Limestone Branch to Widow Jane to her consulting firm of Saints and Monsters, Lisa has earned the respect of all in the whiskey community.

They start the show by sipping on Widow Jane that has notes of cherry cough syrup. It’s a beautiful small batch bourbon. They then move on to Leopold Brothers Bottled in Bond. Big Chief believes that this whiskey could compete for this whiskey of the year.

They start the second half with Reservoir Distillery’s small batch. This Richmond, Virginia distillery is gaining steam and now Lisa has put them on the big man’s radar. They finish the show with The Bard Distillery, Cinder and Smoke 13 year old bourbon whiskey. It’s flooded with fruit notes, butterscotch, and a beautiful floral, perfumesque profile. So tasty.

This ride on The Whiskey Trip showcases the life story of an amazing whiskey woman.

Cheers!
