On World Whisky Day, we interviewed five different representatives from six different distilleries from across the world for our Live Tasting Event. On Part 2, we interview Kotryna Gesait,Starward East Coast Ambassador. Dave Smith, St. George Head Distiller. Nick Brady Maas, founder of Dancing Goat.
(00:25 - 32:42) - Kotryna shares how her personal travels across the world collided with the Starward story: a new world whisky distillery on the path to make a pure Australian experience in a bottle. She also explains how Starward challenges the palate by using a rare technique of fully maturing single malts inside of fresh Australian red wine barrels. The brand stretches the imagination of what whisky can be.
(32:48 -:58:54) - Dave shares how the collaboration between whiskey distilling and art combine to produce beautiful spirits that are meant to be shared during even more beautiful moments. St. George is the oldest small American distillery since prohibition, and Dave shares how the distillery grabbed inspiration from whisky across the world to build and continue 40 years of spirits distillation.
(59:20) Our spiritual guru through the vast world of whiskey, Nick Brady Maas celebrates how agriculture is the divine component that allows us all to enjoy the great invention of whiskey. He leads an inspiring conversation on the principles of Dancing Goat, and why is love for rye and how the inspiration of his family drives hmi to build the next great American distillery.
