The Whiskey Ring Podcast returns Michter's Master Distiller Emerita Pam Heilmann. It was a thrill to talk with Pam and explore her history before whiskey, at Beam, and at Michter's, including overseeing the transition from contract distillaton to Michter's own equipment, managing the largest bourbon plant in the world for Beam, and what her favorite of all these jobs was - I promise, you'll want to listen through...the answer might surprise you.  _______________________________________ If you haven’t joined the Patreon community, now is the time: you can now support the site and podcast for as little as $1 a month, plus new and improved benefits for the $5 a month tier including exclusive content, free glassware after 6 months, and more benefits as the group grows such as barrel picks, live events, and more.

Ep. 27: Pam Heilmann, Master Distiller Emerita @ Michter’s

We have both Masters from Michter's today. Andrea Wilson was a guest back on  Episode 47, and she makes her return with a new role as Master of Maturation. We dig into chemical compounds and wood effects on their bourbon. In addition, we have Pam Heilmann, the current Master Distiller, and we talk about her past at the Booker Noe plant and what they are doing at Michter's. We touch on the new Fort Nelson Distillery and dive into the topics the whiskey geeks care about like limited high age expressions, barrel proof releases, and if could we ever expect to see a single barrel program? Listen to all of our Michter's podcasts at https://bourbonpursuit.com/michters-podcasts/Show Notes: Buffalo Trace's Virtual Reality Tour  Conor O’Driscoll Joins Heaven Hill Distillery as Fifth Master Distiller  Pursuit Series Episodes 3 through 7 are available for purchase. Visit https://pursuitspirits.com/episodes/  The week’s Above the Char with Fred Minnick talks about Bourbon and teething. What does Master of Maturation mean? How did you get into whiskey? What’s a relief supervisor? Can you train your palate or is it a natural ability? Is the tasting panel the best job? What are the engineers bringing to the table? How much still time do you have? Is Willie Pratt still in the picture? What does toasted mean? Why don't you make barrel strength bourbon all the time? Why hasn't Michter's started a single barrel program? How long have you been distilling here? What is your plan for your distillate? Was there some fine tuning performed on the still? Are you just making Bourbon? Or are you making Rye, Malt, anything else? Tell us about the Shenk's and Bomberger's lines. Are you all looking forward to the new visitor experience?
