Michael Bloom of 50 State Blend Chats to Marty & Justin

The Project www.50stateblend.com This idea grew organically, fueled by a fascination with the unusual, supported by the growing availability of American craft whiskey and motivated by a desire to share the journey with others. More than eight different types of American whiskeys comprise the 50 State Blend including fourteen bourbons, fourteen ryes, twelve single malts, one single malt rye, one Tennessee whiskey (duh!) one millet, one sorghum and six whiskies that don’t cleanly fit in any of those particular categories. Each draft of the 50 State Blend keeps the ingredients constant but changes their proportions. Barrel-finishing was introduced to the process  beginning with Draft #4.
