Topic: 3 Fingers of Conversation with Bill Welter of Journeyman Distillery

Hosts: Liz Rhoades, Lew Bryson, & Martin Duffy

What You’ll Learn:  Join a trio of drink industry veterans in weekly conversation on whiskey, spirits, distilling, marketing and the current state of the drink industry. This week, Bill Welter of Journeyman Distillery joins the group to discuss:

  • COVID – Supply chain issues: is this going to affect grain crops, or harvesting of oak for barrels?
  • GENERAL – Allocation and pricing, supply and demand. Why are limited releases good/bad for the brand, why are they good/bad for consumers and retailers?
  • GEEKY – What’s up with all of these experiments with heat and oak staves: searing, toasting, fast/slow heat, combinations of heat and grooving.  How do these changes in heat treatment change what a stave does to whiskey?
