Send us a textThe Whiskey Chasers were joined by the whole Hough Family: Jim, Ellen, Rob, and Kevin, to discuss Liberty Pole Spirits.  It is always a joy to go to distilleries and meet the people behind the brand, but this was truly wonderful! The family was so welcoming and gave us a tour of the place, including their rickhouse. After our recording, we were treated to some amazing food from their restaurant. You will notice this recording may not be as clean as previous ones. We wanted to ensure the whole family could join in, but with only four mics, we had to share, so you may hear a little more noise than usual. However, the content more than makes up for it.  We had the opportunity to try some unreleased goodies, as well as favorites from the family, but some of the best news we heard is that they are coming to Ohio!  Their products are expected to be available sometime next year, and we will notify you as soon as they are.Show some love to Liberty Pole Spirits and follow them for news of future releases!https://www.libertypolespirits.com/ https://www.instagram.com/libertypolespirits/https://www.facebook.com/Libertypolespirits/ https://x.com/LibPoleSpiritsSupport the showWebsite:www.whiskeychaserspod.comFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/whiskeychaserspodcastInsta:https://www.instagram.com/whiskeychaserspodcast/TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@whiskeychaserspodcastThanks For Listening!

Send us a textWe had the opportunity to sit down with Alex Trask, the Production manager and head blender of Wigle Whiskey. We had an amazing time interviewing Alex and hearing about his process and the state of craft whiskey in Pittsburgh.  We discussed Monongahela Rye, American Single Malt, and the process of Finishing and how that imparts flavor.  Alex is a real leader in the finishing world and is looking to triple or quadruple finish in the future, and really enjoys playing with those flavors!  Listen in to hear our full interview, and please show some love to Wigle by following them on social media. Be sure to keep an eye out for their bottles.  https://www.facebook.com/wiglewhiskey https://www.instagram.com/wiglewhiskey/ https://wiglewhiskey.com/ Wigle whiskeyWigle Whiskey is an award-winning spirits company producing small-batch, craft whiskey with unique and distinctive flavor profiles.

Send us a textInteresting things about the distillery:Said to be America's oldest continually maintained brand of whiskey, it was founded in West Overton, Pennsylvania, in 1810.Old Overholt is a rye whiskey distilled by A. Overholt & Co., currently a subsidiary of Beam Suntory, which is a subsidiary of Suntory Holdings of Osaka, Japan. It is currently distilled at the Jim Beam distillery in Clermont, KYHenry Oberholzer (Anglicized to “Overholt”), a German Mennonite farmer, moved to West Overton, Pennsylvania, on the banks of Jacobs Creek in Western Pennsylvania in 1800.  His family came from the area of Germany which specialized in distilling “korn”, or rye whiskey, and Henry took up the tradition.In 1810, Henry’s son took over the management of the distillery and made it into a business. By the 1820s, the distillery was putting out 12 to 15 gallons of rye whiskey per day. By 1859, Overholt incorporated his business as “A. Overholt & Co.” He operated out of a new distillery building that was six stories high, 100 feet long, and which could produce 860 gallons per day.Old Overholt was one of six distilleries allowed to continue issuing bottled-in-bond, government stamped, pints with a dosage cup atop the cap and doctor’s prescription attached to the back.Maybe because Andrew Mellon was a partner in the business and he was the secretary of the treasury under HardingMellon Sold his shares in 1925 due to concerns from prohabisionists Beam bought out the old overholt in 1986, when they made the purchase of Dekuyper Peachtree Schnapps. This was during a time when brown liquor was frowned upon and clear liquors were in. Our Bottle:Pipe Pairings: 80 proof- Cornell and Diehl gentleman caller. BIB- eight state burley Cornell and Diel 114 - peterson Hyde Park10 year- Irish Flake by petersonMonogahela Rye- Cornell and Diehl riverboat gamblerCocktails:Research Sourceshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Overholt https://whiskyadvocate.com/old-monongahela-rye Support the showWebsite:www.whiskeychaserspod.comFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/whiskeychaserspodcastInsta:https://www.instagram.com/whiskeychaserspodcast/TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@whiskeychaserspodcastThanks For Listening!
