WhiskyCast Episodes
WhiskyCast is where it all begins. Now in our 18th year, each weekly podcast brings you the latest in whisky news, along with the latest events, tasting notes, comments from other listeners, and the weekly “In-Depth” segment features interviews with the people who help make whisky the “water of life”.
Episode 342: November 6, 2011
Ichiro Akuto is a maverick among Japanese whisky distillers, creating traditional whiskies with a style that’s anything but traditional. When his family sold their Hanyu Distillery, he not only bought the remaining stocks of Hanyu, but built his own Chichibu Distillery next to the family’s sake brewery. Ichiro shares his family history and his philosophy with us this week as we mark the end of WhiskyCast’s 6th year.
