In this episode, we interview distiller Yianni Barakos of Mason
Dixon Distillery in Gettysburg, PA. Some of the things that we discuss
include:
How a
napkin sketch, a home distilling fire, and a serious accident led
Yianni to pursue a career in distilling sooner than he had
anticipated.
What
Mason Dixon Distillery is doing to introduce folks in central
Pennsylvania to incredible craft spirits and a wide variety of bold
flavors in their German beer hall-inspired pub.
How
Yianni was awarded a special lease to farm his grain on the
Gettysburg National Military Park.
A
curated tasting of Mason Dixon’s excellent craft spirits and some
notes on the distilling setup and barrel program used to create
them.
The
differences between a hyper-specialized spirits program and a more
wide-ranging approach to building your portfolio.
And
much, much more.
