This week on The Whiskey Trip, Big Chief heads to northern Ohio to visit his good friend and the undisputed king of all things maple—Kevin Holy, founder of Seldom Seen Farm and now the visionary behind Seldom Seen Whiskey Company.

Kevin shares the story of his family’s bold new adventure into the world of distilling with Seldom Seen Whiskey Company—DSP-OH-20142. With years of experience aging maple syrup in bourbon barrels, he’s now taking that mastery and crafting his own finished spirits—blending tradition, passion, and a touch of maple magic.

As the conversation flows, so does the whiskey. Big Chief enjoys a Giant Texas Distillery Maple Finished Cask Strength Rye, while Kevin savors a Penelope Havana—both infused with the unique character of his maple syrup bourbon barrels. Each sip tells a story, rich with the essence of hard work, patience, and craftsmanship.

This episode is about more than whiskey—it’s about the relentless pursuit of a dream, the art of the American farmer, and the magic of turning nature’s sweetness into something unforgettable.

So pour yourself a glass, settle in, and join us for another unforgettable ride on The Whiskey Trip. Cheers!
