The Bar at Willett: More Than Just a Bar
The Bar at Willett Distillery in Bardstown, Kentucky serves up more than just neat pours and classic cocktails. It’s also a gourmet-quality restaurant, as proven by its 2025 James Beard Awards nomination. We’ll talk with general manager and beverage director Andy Pope on this week’s WhiskyCast In-Depth. In the news, a trade war is brewing across North America after President Trump imposed import tariffs on goods from Canada and Mexico, which will make Canadian Whisky more expensive. Canadian and Mexican leaders responded with tariffs of their own targeting Bourbon and other American whiskies, and we’ll have all of the details.
