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.
