Episode 200 – Asbury Park Distilling Co. – Kelly Bodnar

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”.

Episode 190 – Hercules Mulligan – Steve Luttmann

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.

This episode features ⁠Drew Mayville⁠ of ⁠Buffalo Trace⁠ and ⁠Sazerac⁠.

When Drew was originally looking for work he applied to a brewery and a distillery. The distillery turned out to be ⁠Seagram’s⁠. In hind sight this was his best move. He began in the distillery lab. After many years of working in different areas he was promoted to the Master Blender. We discuss his role at Buffalo Trace and some of the nuances for being a Master Blender. His first priority is being responsible for the consistency and quality of the spirit that goes into every bottle. Drew is always looking to make a better whiskey with Sazerac’s Buffalo Trace Distillery. Today he’s transitioning into being more of an ambassador and educating people about the products. After the interview, The Master Blender led us through a master class on some of Buffalo Trace’s most coveted expressions.

Episode 178 – BOTLD – Andrew Auwerda and Drew Perry

This episode features ⁠Andrew Auwerda⁠ and ⁠Drew Perry⁠ of ⁠BOTLD⁠.

The idea for BOTLD came during covid. Andrew was running ⁠Philadelphia Distilling⁠. The ⁠PLCB⁠ was closed for 12 weeks during the lockdown. That was their number one purchaser of ⁠Bluecoat American Dry Gin⁠. They quickly pivoted to direct to consumer sales. This practice became a huge success. Today BOTLD’s mission is to bring a more adventurous, wider, deeper selection of spirits to consumers, as well as, bars and restaurants. They curate brands and spirits that can’t get into the PLCB. BOTLD partners with those brands and brings them to the shelves in Pennsylvania. Distinction… Discovery… Delivery
