This week on The Whiskey Trip, Big Chief welcomes Heath Trigg, the owner and founder of The Heritage Flag Company and the newest sponsor of The Whiskey Trip. Based in North Carolina, The Heritage Flag Company was born from the love of country, craftsmanship, and whiskey. Heath's story is one of passion, patriotism, and purpose — showing how one idea, sparked by service and sacrifice, grew into a national symbol of pride made from reclaimed whiskey barrels.
Big Chief kicks things off sipping on Maker's Mark Cask Strength, a bold Kentucky classic full of caramel sweetness and oak spice. Heath enjoys a pour of Basil Hayden 10-Year, refined and elegant with soft vanilla and warm spice. Together, they talk about the origins of The Heritage Flag Company, the meaning behind each handcrafted flag, and how a small gesture of gratitude turned into a movement that honors veterans and heroes across America.
In the second half of the ride, Big Chief pours a glass of Leiper's Fork Distillery Tennessee Whiskey Cask Strength, a rich and soulful whiskey from one of his favorite small distilleries, while Heath sips on Elijah Craig Small Batch, a timeless bourbon known for its balance of oak, caramel, and spice. The conversation dives deeper into legacy, creativity, and the shared spirit that connects whiskey-making and woodworking — both requiring patience, heart, and a respect for tradition.
Heath Trigg reminds us that when passion meets purpose, you can build something far greater than yourself. From honoring service to celebrating American craftsmanship, The Heritage Flag Company stands as a testament to pride, perseverance, and patriotism.
As always — Take the Ride… With Big Chief.
