Dad's Whiskey Stash

One of my favorite moments during a tasting is when someone realizes they can actually connect a flavor in the glass to something that happened long before the whiskey was bottled.

Maybe it’s the grain.

Maybe it’s the climate where it aged.

Maybe it’s a secondary barrel that added another layer of character.

Most people start by identifying flavors. Over time, they start asking where those flavors came from.

That’s when whiskey gets really interesting.

It’s also why I enjoy creating tastings that go beyond what’s in the glass and explore the stories behind it.

About an hour outside Atlanta, there’s a farm doing things a little differently.

During our recent visit to Doc Brown Farm & Distillers we spent an afternoon learning more about how their whiskey comes together, from Jimmy Red corn and healthier soil to the salty and sweet effects of coastal aging.

It was such a great reminder that sometimes the most interesting (and delicious!) whiskey doesn’t come from the biggest names.

Big thanks to Amy, Paige, Daniel, and fellow Executive Bourbon Steward Tosha Mobley for the hospitality. We’ll see ya out on the farm again soon! 🥃🌽 🌾
