Frizz and Bob sit down with a whiskey legend and co-owner of Wilderness Trail Distillery (AND rock singer) Dr. Pat Heist. Together, we talk about the kickass brilliance of Slayer, the diversity of a casket, Jurassic Park, and how bourbon and bacteria, uh.. find a way.

Our cover story this month is about sweet mash whiskey. We look into the difference between sour mash (which covers the majority of distilleries) and sweet mash process. We also ask the co-founder of Wilderness Trail Distillery to explain the process in a Q&A. The concept of sweet mash is not new, however, what is new are the number of distilleries turning

Due to its volatile nature, alcohol evaporates at a lower temperature than water. When it escapes as gas, alcohol occupies all of the available headspace in a bottle, and the proof of the liquid drops ever so slightly. This has the effect of subtly altering the spirit’s profile because different flavor compounds become more or less soluble at different concentrations of alcohol, Heist explains. “It’s like adding a drop of water,” he says.

Cheers to those who wait: I’m not against sourced whiskeys, but I’m impressed by distillery owners that make their own and let it sit until it’s actually good. Some favorites in my glasses this year include Wilderness Trail, Kentucky Peerless, New Riff, Castle & Key, Spirits of French Lick, Ragged Branch, Pennington and many others. Even better, these distilleries are making signature whiskeys designed not to match the tastes of big distillery products—especially so when with rye whiskies, where inspiration and experimentation is everywhere. My favorite rye for 2020 was a Wilderness Trail single barrel cask strength at 99 proof—6 proof below its barrel proof. Gobs of easy-sipping complexity in that one.

Go to 31:40 to hear the assessment of Wilderness Trail’s Rye Whiskey. They called Wilderness Trail a “darling” and named our Rye Whiskey their No. 1 pick and labeled it a “zinger.” They talked about Wilderness Trail’s innovations of low barrel proof entry and Kentucky-grown rye.
