Description
This week on The Whiskey Trip Podcast, Big Chief takes listeners on a ride back to Austin, Texas and chats with Laura Papa, Director of Sales, and Marie Perez, Distiller, from Fierce Whiskers Distillery. Laura and Marie take the Big Man through the name and history of this grain to glass craft distillery. From a quote of Rutherford B. Hayes, “Austin is an inconsiderable village with Large Expectations…full of discharged ‘Rangers’…costumes of every variety. … Fierce Whiskers, gaming and drinking very abounding in all quarters” came their name that speaks truth to Austin. This beautiful Texas Distillery has embraced Austin’s pioneer spirit and taken the steps to do it right with a beautiful Vendome Still and a Kentucky Style Rick House right in the heart of Austin. They start the show with their standard Texas Rye Whiskey that has a mash-bill of 70% rye, 20% wheat, 10% malted barely. With hints of Earl Gray tea it’s a beautiful sipper. They move on to one of their special releases, HAM CHO’I Straight Bourbon Whiskey finished in Cabernet Casks. They finish the first half with a Smoke & Mash Collaboration that was smoked at Snow’s BBQ. In the second half they start with Single Barrel Rye which was released to support a local charity, which highlights the distillery’s commitment to community. They finish the show with a celebration expression, Summer Heat that’s 109 proof to match the Austin summer heat. This ride on The Whiskey Trip showcases women in whiskey and their amazing contributions in the industry. Cheers!
