Join us on Bourbon With Friends for a lively chat with Matt Simpkins and Tom Bogan, the passionate co-founders of Oaklore Distilling Co. in Matthews, North Carolina. What began as two dads bonding over whiskey at their kids’ bus stop has grown into a thriving craft distillery known for its community spirit and exceptional spirits. In this episode, we dive into their journey from casual "Tuesday drinking" sessions to crafting their signature Four Grain Bourbon and North Carolina Straight Rye Whiskey, made with locally sourced grains. Matt and Tom share the challenges of navigating North Carolina’s control state regulations, their innovative finishing techniques like port wine and honey casks.
