SOME FUN WHISKEY BITS
 Bob Edwards Interviews Susan Reigler on the Subject of Bourbon
In this interview, Susan Reigler offers listeners a good overview on the basics of Bourbon. Reigler lives in Kentucky and written books about the state and its food and drink.
Reigler served Edwards some Old Forester, one of my favorites, along with Four Roses, Maker's Mark, and Pappy Van Winkle.Labels: Bourbon, Four Roses, Kentucky, Maker's Mark, Old Forester, Pappy Van Winkle
Interview with Bill Samuels, Jr., Maker's Mark Distillery
Bill Samuel's, Jr., head of the Maker's Mark Distillery of Loretto, Kentucky, was in Washington, DC today. Bill kindly made some time to sit with me at the Hawk n' Dove bar, a beloved watering hole just a couple blocks from Congress. Bill then entertained about a dozen friends of yours truly.
Bill has been at the helm of the distillery for 35 years. Oh how times have changed. Maker's Mark has boomed, going from 60-some thousand cases per year to over 900,000. We discussed the changes that happened at Maker's Mark, and in the Bourbon industry generally.
