Summary

What happens when a mechanical engineer builds a distillery instead of a traditional distiller? This week we're joined by Southern Distilling co-founder Pete Barger for a fascinating conversation about contract distilling, regenerative farming, engineering-driven whiskey production, the current state of the bourbon industry, and why he believes American Single Malt has an exciting future. We also taste several Southern Star bourbons and ryes while discussing the philosophy behind one of North Carolina's most innovative distilleries. Tune in to hear all the details! If you enjoy our podcast, we would greatly appreciate it if you would like and subscribe to it and also leave us a 5 star review.
