Summary
Drew Mayville has been Buffalo Trace's master blender for the last 21 years, overseeing legendary whiskies like George T. Stagg, Sazerac Rye, and the Van Winkle whiskies. He started his career at Seagram's in his native Canada, where he spent 23 years learning the blending business from the ground up. Drew Mayville joins us on this week's WhiskyCast In-Depth. In the news, another government shutdown is looming, and the whisky industry could be affected. Ireland's Powerscourt Distillery has been bought out of administration, and Diageo plans to close one of its key distillery visitors centers in Scotland.
