Welcome to Episode #61 of the Great American Whiskey Cookers! In this podcast, we take you on an immersive adventure to Columbia Illinois and Old Monroe Distillery. Join us as we delve into what makes this such a unique distillery.
If you had a distillery, would you store your barrels horizontal (like most of Kentucky does) or would you palletize your barrels? It's a decision every distillery has to make. And one of the factors that goes into that decision making is the weather. At Old Monroe Distillery, they can have huge temperature swings, and aging their whiskey in a very traditional method (similar to Kentucky) has proven to produce flavor profiles that are unique and flavorful. It's something that Adam and Laura are aiming for in their whiskey. Check out this episode and watch how Old Monroe Distillery is approaching their barrel storage, and how they are taking grain to glass to a new height.
