How has the bourbon industry changed over the years? How has public experience changed? Have virtual tastings benefited the industry?   Getting touch with Distilled Living Nicole Austin, General Manager and distiller for Cascade Hollow Distilling in Tennessee, better known as the home for George Dickel Tennessee Whiskey, joins at the 20 minute mark How does a Syracuse, NY, native end up in the distilling industry? Did you still talk to the bartender who pushed you towards distilling? Was engineering something you wanted to do when you grew up? What made you take that leap to Kings County Distillery in 2010? Earning several honors, were those moments when you knew made the right career move? What is it like to take over a centuries old brand like George Dickel? How do you balance the past and history of the Dickel name, but be innovative? What’s your whisky at George Dickel? What’s the biggest difference in the whiskies you make? Superior No. 12 recipe has a personality?  What was it like creating the Bottled in Bond? What is your favorite part of role with George Dickel? What’s it like being a female in the distilling industry? What’s next for George Dickel?

Tim Knittel, Bourbon Educator at Distilled-Living.com and a certified Stave &amp; Thief Society Executive Bourbon Steward, kicks off "back to basics" month by giving an in-depth Bourbon 101 and 201 level knowledge bomb. You will learn something new, guaranteed or your money back!Show Notes: let's start from the top. What is bourbon? How's it made? What goes into it? What's the average proof coming off the distillate? Some people say that limestone water is a big reason why Kentucky bourbon taste better. Is that true or can I get the same effect out of a garden hose? Is anything stopping someone outside of America from making a bourbon or it just can't be called that? What advice do you give people of the first bottles to buy that give you a variable taste range? So people like us who think we know everything, what's a common misperception or falsification we tend to fall for? What’s the most common question you get asked at your tastings
