Episode 190 – Hercules Mulligan – Steve Luttmann

This episode features ⁠Steve Luttmann⁠ of ⁠Hercules Mulligan⁠.

In 2015 Steve, who is a history buff, was reading Ron Chernow’s ” Alexander Hamilton”. He came across this character by the name of Hercules Mulligan. This lead him to an out of print biography about Hercules Mulligan. This is where the inspiration to make the libation came about. This spirit is a nod to one of George Washington’s spies during the revolution. They are interpretations of what may have been served in his Manhattan tailor shop. Launched on November 25, 2019, it’s a fascination story complimented by exceptional concoctions.

Episode 166 – Casa W Distillery – Wally Caraballo

This episode feature ⁠Wally Caraballo⁠ of ⁠Casa W Distillery⁠.

Wally’s entrepreneurial roots go back to his father’s bar in Puerto Rico where he was making and selling his own sangria. Upon arriving to the United States he set his sights on creating and sharing the traditional Pitorro that he grew up on back home. He began the journey as a moonshiner of sorts. He crafted and perfected the Puerto Rican rum in his basement. His family and friends clamored for this wonderful elixir. Now he’s changing the game with his own expression of what he believes Pitorro should be. To date they have been open for seven months and have become a fixture and destination in the community. Some of their releases sell out so fast and they are working hard to keep up with demand. As Wally says, “Pitorro chose him”. We are so grateful that it did.

Episode 162 – Alcohol Infused Cigars – Jonathan Williams

Johathan’s father was a banker when he was laid off 11 years ago. He decided that he no longer wanted to work for anyone else. Infusing cigars began as a hobby which has blossomed into his profession. It took a lot of trial and error for selecting the wrapper and perfecting the different infusions. You can find them at festivals selling the perfect pairing to beers, wines and spirits. Or order online and have them shipped right to your door. They even have a cigar club where you will receive special infusions.

It all started about 15 years ago with the love of tiki cocktails. The more that Matt learned the more excited he got. He took his writing experience and turned it into the Cocktail Wonk Blog.

Episode 116 – Spring House Spirits – Chris Demars – Randy and Jenn Litwin

This episode features Chris Demars, Randy Litwin and Jenn Litwin of Spring House Spirits.

Sixty years ago Chris’s grandmother taught him how to distill spirits, make wine and brew beer. Chris worked as a nuclear engineer which is kind of like being a distiller. He longed to come back to the family farm and get back to his distilling roots. He pays homage to his grandmothers background by bringing several grains together in the mash bill. This bespoke farm distillery is creating amazing spirits that are full of character and flavor. Each bottle highlights the quality of the process, the local grains, and the connection to the history of the surrounding Chester County community.
