Paul Hletko is a hell of a guy. Founder and Master Distiller of FEW Spirits, based out of Evanston, IL - Paul may be one of the nicest people around. For more than a decade he has been producing astonishingly good whiskeys, and gins. They are available nationwide, so stop reading and go place an order at your local liquor store/supplier. Once you are properly lubricated, come have a listen as we dive into all aspects of distilling, breaking down MGP whiskies (which I bet you have a bunch of at home, and didn't even know it), and bedtime stories - no seriously.Paul is a midwest guy through and through and I love everything about his hospitable nature, sense of humor, and desire to simply create amazing spirits. As someone who is intensely passionate about great products, this one was very near and dear to my heart. I hope you enjoy listening to this one as much as I enjoyed recording it.The Best Ceats Podcast brings unprecedented access to the Orange County hospitality industry each and every episode.
