Episode 459: January 4, 2014

Southern California isn’t the place you’d normally think of for a Bourbon to call home, but Steve Gertman picked the wine country of Santa Barbara County to locate his Ascendant Spirits Distillery and produce Breaker Bourbon. Gertman joins us for this week’s WhiskyCast In-Depth, and explains why he gave up a career most guys would dream of: producing TV shows featuring some of the world’s hottest cars. We’ll also look at a new Scottish Government report on the impact of Scotch Whisky exports, the latest release from Bowmore, and tasting notes for a 60-year-old Glenfarclas single malt.
