Making the "World's Most Admired" Whiskies

Louisville's Michter's Distillery took top honors in the 2023 Drinks International survey to find the "world's most admired" whiskey brand. Andrea Wilson is the Master of Maturation for Michter's, as well as the company's chief operating officer, and has the final say on any whisky that carries the Michter's name. We'll talk with Andrea about the pressure of living up to that reputation, as well as her Hall of Fame whisky-making career, on this week's WhiskyCast In-Depth. In the news, Kentucky lawmakers have approved a bill to close loopholes in the state's Vintage Distilled Spirits Law. We'll have the details on that and the rest of the week's whisky news, including a rare collaboration between Australia's Starward Whisky and Lagavulin.
