This week on The Whiskey Trip Podcast, Big Chief is in the Big Easy - New Orleans, Louisiana - visiting Seven Three  Distilling. The Big man chats with Head Distiller, Luka Cutura, about this young distillery named for the 73 neighborhoods of New Orleans. They discuss Luka’s Croatian heritage of distilling and the bustling city’s rebirth after Katrina. Big Chief can see the future is bright for Luka and is excited to see what’s ahead for Seven Three Distilling. In the first half, Big Chief and Luka start out with By-Water Bourbon, a wheated bourbon with a unique mashbill of 64% corn, 26 % wheat and 10% malted wheat. They then move to the Irish Channel whiskey which is a blend of a 10-year Irish whiskey and an American whiskey finished in a cognac barrel. Big Chief gets Belgian waffles and whipped cream. In the second half, they sip on a barrel-aged Gentilly Gin and then finish the show with a By-Water Four Grain Bourbon that will be released next week. This ride on The Whiskey Trip once again features a craft distillery that also happens to be in a city with an amazing whiskey history. If you’re in New Orleans you definitely need to take the tour. You won’t regret it. Cheers!
