‍✈️ WF050 to North Carolina: Oak and Grist Distillery - American single malt, Speyside experience, shadow of Beer City USA (G48:12)

Oak & Grist Distillery (Black Mountain, NC) WF050 Just a few miles east of Asheville, North Carolina (which has held the honor as Beer City USA several times) is a somewhat sleepy community on the edge of the mountains, where Will Goldberg and Charlie Stanley are focused on distilling up two amazing spirits - an American Single Malt and a Dutch-style Jenever. Their stories start with both wine and cheese - backgrounds that center them in agriculture, flavor, experience, and terrior. Their pot still distilled American single malt was developed thanks to some help from a long-time Speyside distillery manager. The results speak for themselves. Join me as I chat about the flavor experience, how art translates into the spirits world, and why people should make the effort to drive a few miles east when visiting Asheville.
