Episode 202 – Kilinga Bacanora – Rodrigo Bojorquez

This episode features Rodrigo Bojorquez of ⁠Kilinga Bacanora⁠.

Bacanora is the original sprit from the state of Sonora. It’s a mezcal variety that pays tribute to his mother by naming it Kilinga. He developed into an agave aficionado but wasn’t fond of bacanora. It was a barbecue at a friends house that helped to change his mind about the spirit. He already had agave planted at his ranch. The next step was to learn how to produce bacanora. His hobby has turned into his business. Mom and Dad told him “you have something here”. Established in 2018, this elegant and complex spirit has quickly been recognized and awarded. It’s a family effort to bring Kalinga Bacanora to the world.

This episode feature ⁠Kelly Bodnar⁠ of ⁠Asbury Park Distilling Co.⁠

The founders felt the vibe and recognized the huge art and music scene that was leading the renaissance of Asbury Park. Foot traffic was picking up and it made sense to launch a distillery on Memorial Day 2017. ⁠Bill Tambussi ⁠was the first master distiller that set everything up and got the spirits launched. They began with vodka and gin and an amazing cocktail program. They were laying down barrels to create bourbon from the start. Kelly began her journey at the distillery wanting to soak up and learn everything that she could about how it all worked. Bill brought her on and over time she was ready to take the reins and put her own spin and personality on what was being distilled and bottled. Her passion and love of this craft distillery shines through. Kelly and this awesome team are “putting spirits into their spirits”.
