Michter's Sour Mash with Dan McKee Master Distiller and Andrea Wilson Master of Maturation [Extended Episode]

In a special extended episode, Dave and H are joined by Dan McKee the Master Distiller and Andrea Wilson Master of Maturation and COO of Michter's, for a pour of their  Original Sour Mash Whiskey. Because of the time difference of the Australians, it's a nightcap, and for the Americans, it's a breakfast pour. They chat about the history of Michter's, the flavours of the Michter's Small Batch Sour Mash expression (not quite a bourbon, not quite a rye) and some of the magic that makes Michter's a truly unique whiskey.   Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Michter's and Special Guests 03:04 The History of Michter's Distillery 05:48 Quality and Consistency in their Whiskey Production 09:02 Roles of Master Distiller and Master of Maturation 11:47 Production Techniques that Define Michter's 15:08 The Importance of Barrel Aging and Water Chemistry 17:55 Access to Michter's in Australia
