3. The Whiskey Lore® Podcast
The Whiskey Lore Podcast, hosted by best-selling travel author Drew Hannush, is a captivating exploration of
whiskey's rich history, myths, and modern craft distilling culture, appealing to both enthusiasts and curious newcomers. Covering bourbon, Scotch, Irish, rye, and more, the podcast offers three formats: Stories, which delve into historical narratives like the origins of Bottled-in-Bond or Ireland's whiskey rebirth, Interviews which documents whiskey history and the people making it, and Whiskey Flights, a weekly series focused on craft distillery travel. Whiskey Flights transports listeners to craft distilleries worldwide, offering virtual tours that highlight unique operations, local grains, and innovative spirits. Episodes feature chats with founders—like Brian Cummings of Great Northern Distilling or Guy Whitehead of Lucky Guys Distillery—covering topics from potato vodka to bitters crafting. Each Flight emphasizes the pleasures of distillery visits, sharing practical travel tips and cultural context, such as Wisconsin's supper club scene or Tasmania's whiskey boom. Hannush's warm narration and curiosity bring distilleries to life, making listeners feel like they're sipping alongside him.
