This week, host Kerry Moynahan brings you the second half of her coverage of the 2024 WSWA Conference in Las Vegas from earlier this year. This episode is packed with fascinating conversations with Ignition Kentucky Bourbon owner Steve McPherson, Hand Barrel Bourbon's Co-founder Jim Hand AND we dig up some dirt with Harvey Williams of Delta Dirt Distillery.

In this episode of Barrel Room Chronicles, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Bill Christy, the founder of American Single Cask, a new independent bottler of American craft whiskey. We kicked off the conversation by discussing Bill's unexpected journey into the whiskey industry, which began with car camping trips in the desert and evolved into a deep appreciation for Scotch and American craft whiskeys.

Bill shared the inspiration behind American Single Cask, which aims to bring the independent bottling tradition of Scotland to the burgeoning American craft whiskey scene. He detailed the meticulous process of selecting and bottling unique single cask whiskeys from various distilleries, emphasizing transparency and quality. Currently, American Single Cask offers six different expressions from five distilleries, with plans to expand further.

In this episode, we dive into the fascinating world of whiskey with a special focus on Whiskey Jypsi, a brand co-founded by country music star Eric Church. We explore the journey of creating this unique whiskey brand with our guests Raj Alva and Ari Sussman, who share their personal stories and the intricate process behind Whiskey Jypsi.
