Episode 131 – Widow’s Peak Distilling Company – Josh Douglas

This episode features Josh Douglas of Widow’s Peak Distilling Company.

Mike and Mark Ilg were on a ski trip when they devised a plan for a distillery. Mark had been an avid home brewer for 15 years so the challenge of distilling intrigued him. 2 weeks later, after reading a book, he professed to Mike that he was ready to distill vodka. They set up shop distilling their spirits in Peach Bottom, PA. The doors to the cocktail bar and tasting room opened in Ambler, PA in July of 2022. What you will discover here are spirits layered with flavor and a nuanced sipping experience. They provide a wide variety of cocktails to highlight they’re handcrafted in PA spirits.

Episode 100 – Holy Ghost Distillery – John and Janice Sepcoski

This episode features John Sepcoski and Janice Sepcoski of Holy Ghost Distillery.

Janice and John enjoyed visiting distilleries, breweries and wineries. After visiting a distillery 7 years ago John said, “I can do better then this”. This led them to looking for land and a building to host their vision. What they’ve set out to create is a total experience. Not just buy a bottle or purchase a cocktail, but the experience to make new friends over a cocktail. They have left their full time careers to live out a dream. As Janice puts it, “Now I do Bourbon”. We had a wonderful time experiencing their chocolate and bourbon pairing. The final part of our podcast journey was the absinthe extravaganza. It was all a fitting tribute to celebrate our 100th episode.
