Episode 95 – Iron Clad Distillery – Owen King

This episode features Owen King of Iron Clad Distillery.

Stephen King purchased the building, a dry goods warehouse built in 1913, approximately 15 years ago. To best utilize the space, the decision was made to try to store bourbon barrels. This led to acquiring a 26 gallon still. From there, they began to get more serious and bought 5 more 26 gallon stills. This expansion gave them the opportunity to fill one 53 gallon barrel a week. This slow process encouraged Stephen and Owen to seek advice from other distillers in the industry. Conversations and experiences brought them to their next step which was to upgrade the entire operation to a 500 gallon still. Now they had the keys to their own system of producing high quality bourbon in larger batches. Owen shares that the vision has been to use Virginia based grains. Their base is a 4 grain mash bill. The King’s have always been big fans and lovers of bourbon. So, opening a distillery made sense that this was the direction that the family was headed. You will hear and understand how the bourbon gene is a part of the families history. Acknowledging history is in the forefront of how they communicate the Iron Clad story. Today they make history with their many expressions. They plant their own flag by creating unique and one of a kind bourbons. Also, paying homage to the well established distilleries out there too.

American Whiskey Convention 2021 – Part 1

Finally, the 16 month wait was over. The American Whiskey Convention 2021 was a major success. With over 250 whiskeys and bourbons to sample it was a hard decision on where to start. We got to meet and speak to some incredible people in the industry. Guests shared their observations on what their favorite picks were and who stood out as a surprise.

The theme this year was Whiskey on the Water and it was hosted by the Independence Seaport Museum. There were master distillers and experts on hand to share the latest stories and philosophies about all things whiskey. Discussion forums focused on the grain. The Convention was created by the Delaware Valley Fields Foundation in 2016. It pays homage to the farmers and those caretakers of the grains that we all love so much. Laura Fields worked tirelessly this year to make sure that the event was compliant with local covid rules. The event is an opportunity for novices and experienced whiskey aficionados alike to enjoy their own experience. The people that we spoke to came away with a fantastic experience. There is so much to see and do that you can’t possibly do it all in one evening.
