True Story - Wes Henderson

In this episode of The Firkin Podcast, we welcome a true icon of the bourbon world, Wes Henderson. Renowned for his pioneering work with Angel's Envy and now the founder of True Story Whiskey, Wes shares his journey from the Bourbon Hall of Fame to launching his latest venture. We discuss the inspiration behind True Story, a brand that embodies the spirit of storytelling through its unique blends. Discover how Wes collaborates with his sons to craft Kentucky Straight Bourbon finished in white muscatel barrels, and a bold rye whiskey finished in amberana and sherry barrels. The conversation delves into the art and challenges of whiskey finishing, the legacy of Wes's father, Lincoln Henderson, and the innovative spirit that drives the Henderson family. Cheers!
