Join us as we uncork the alluring world of craft distilling with the charismatic Jeff Klein from Four Dog Distilling. Settle into our basement studio—a veritable man cave of spirits—where tales of distillery origins flow as freely as the moonshine. Jeff shares the raw and often unspoken challenges faced by craft distillers, from the labyrinth of licensing to the taxing realities of taxation, all punctuated by the camaraderie that only a good pour can foster. Our conversation isn't just about the hurdles; it’s a toast to the shared passion that turns camping trip moonshine into cinnamon whiskey sensations.

Craft distilling is both a science and an art, as our friend and fellow distiller Alan Bishop can attest. Together, we journey through the nuances of flavoring spirits, the consistency of taste, and the legal dance of ingredient inclusion. Your palate will wander through the world of canal-aged whiskey, as we reveal how different climates and aging techniques coax out the most tantalizing flavors in bourbon. Hang on to your tasting glasses as we reminisce about distiller Mike's early adventures and how they've shaped our pursuit of exceptional spirits.

As we wrap up, we're lifting the veil on the economics of the distilling game and pondering the trends that keep the spirits market buzzing. From the unique moonshine flavors emerging from Four Dogs Distilling at 815 East Talmadge Avenue to the grassroots marketing efforts that bind us to bourbon enthusiasts, we're celebrating the personal connections at the heart of the industry. So grab a glass, and let’s share in the warmth of good bourbon, good friends, and the musical homage to whiskey's role in life's most convivial moments.
