About this episode

The episode features an in-depth discussion with Brian Nation about making Irish-style whiskey in America at O'Shaughnessy Distilling.

Minnesota's O'Shaughnessy Distilling wasn't the first American distillery to make triple-distilled Pot Still whiskey, but the makers of Keeper's Heart Whiskey have plenty of Irish heritage to draw on. Former Midleton master distiller Brian Nation now runs the show at O'Shaughnessy, and he's not only making triple-distilled Pot Still whiskey…he has triple-distilled Rye and Bourbon in the works as well. We'll tour the distillery and talk with Brian on this week's WhiskyCast In-Depth. In the news, we have more distillery closings to report, and the judge has ruled in the Uncle Nearest receivership case. We'll have all the details on this week's WhiskyCast.
