Distilling the Artisan Way

Kentucky Artisan Distillery was one of the state's first distilleries to specialize in contract distilling for clients when it opened in 2012. Over the years, it's been laying down whiskies for its own brand as well, and has now released two Bourbons in its Artisan Series: a high-rye Bourbon and a four-grain Bourbon. We'll talk with master distiller Jade Peterson about the new whiskies and his own creation, Trackside Bourbon, which features "chocolate" malt in the mashbill, on this week's WhiskyCast In-Depth. In the news, distilling stocks took a tumble on Wall Street after Diageo reported disappointing sales and forecast more declines over the second half of the year.
