Episode 207: Kevin Alker Previews the Grand Opening of Old Alker Distillery

A premium whiskey or rum takes a few years to reach peak quality, and the same may be true for a distillery itself. On today’s episode, Old Alker Distillery owner Kevin Alker talks about the six years he spent bringing his new venture to the marketplace. Old Alker celebrates its grand opening on Aug. 2 and 3 at 8304 Oak St. Ryan Guillory, Old Alker’s head bartender and mixologist, joins the conversation to provide some Oak Street history and to detail some of the new cocktail creations he’s created using Old Alker products.
