Summary

There's nothing better than getting a fan of the show back on the program... but that fan also happens to be a master distiller at one of the most recognizable names in the kentucky distilling industry. Danny Kahn join us once again to talk about a few topics that we're all interested in hearing about. We cover the 1792 barrel program, then we take a hard left turn talking about yeast for a bit, so if you love the science behind bourbon, make sure to pay attention. and we end up going through a tasting and talking about the 2022 release of Thomas S Moore, the brand Danny is in charge of releasing every year using extra aged barrel finishes. And when we say extra aged, we're not talking aged for 6 months in an additional cask, we're talking years! Show Notes: Above the Char with Fred Minnick (@fredminnick) talks taking a break from bourbon for a couple months How many barrels are allocated to the 1792 barrel program? How many barrels are going towards private label partners? If you can't meet demand, how much more do you need to produce? Are you still using the same yeast from the 60's? Is it intentional to pick a yeast based on the flavor it will produce? What is the percentage impact of yeast on flavor? Tell us a bit of history of Thomas S Moore? Where in the ricks are these barrels resting? What kind of sherry casks were you using in this release? What barrels are next? @barton1792 Support this podcast on Patreon
