This week, Big Chief rolls into Augusta, Kentucky, to sit down with one of
bourbon's baddest trailblazers, Master Distiller Alex Castle of Augusta
Distillery. And y'all, this woman's story is straight fire.
From studying distillation in her home state to cutting her teeth at Wild
Turkey, to shaking things up in Memphis, Alex has been breaking barrels and
boundaries her whole career. Now she's back home, running the show and
helping Augusta Distillery light up their stills and craft some seriously bold
single barrel whiskey.
In the first half, Big Chief and Alex dive into a pour of Old Route 8, a single
barrel with serious spice and that sticky sweet hot honey heat that keeps you
coming back for another sip.
Then things heat up even more with Buckner's 10-Year in the second half and
oh my Lord, this one's a straight-up spice bomb. It's rich, fiery, and full of
attitude, just like the woman behind the whiskey.
So pour a glass, buckle up, and take the ride with Big Chief and Alex Castle. This episode's proofed high, full of grit, and smooth as Kentucky charm.
Because on The Whiskey Trip, it's never just about the pour, it's about the
people, the passion, and the stories behind every drop. And Alex Castle? She's
proof that when hard work meets heart, greatness follows
