Ep. 8: Dan McKee and Andrea Wilson of Michter‘s Distillery, Part 1

Hi Whiskey Ringers, it is episode 8! Thank you so much for listening and please share with your friends, family, and fellow whiskey lovers. 

This is part one of a special, two-part episode with Dan McKee and Andrea Wilson of Michter’s Distillery. I am beyond excited to have both Dan and Andrea on the podcast after just seven episodes. Not only were they generous with their time, they were generous in another way, too…but more on that later.

Side note: I wasn’t able to get my friend Mike Frey on the recording – we ran into some technical issues that will be fixed going forward, but unfortunately, he couldn’t join the one episode I really wanted to have him on. He’ll be a future co-host every now and again for sure, though.

Mike is a huge Michter’s fan. He has the first bottle ever released at the Fort Nelson location, he’s got a large collection, and more recently, he wrote a fantastic longform article all about the history of Michter’s. You can find it on www.thebourbonculture.com, his website he co-hosts with another Mike. If you like this episode, you’ll like the article, and I encourage you to take a read when you can.

Finally, on the day this episode goes live, I will be starting a giveaway just for followers: a full set of Michter’s Copper Barware: a shaker, a bar spoon, a jigger, a julep cup, and two Michter’s glencairns. Thank you to Michter’s for helping with this giveaway. Visit me on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and at the whiskeyinmyweddingring website for giveaway rules and details. Listeners will get additional entries using a special code from the middle of this episode.
