Matt wraps up his conversation with Phil Downer of Wanderback in Hood River focusing almost exclusively on arguably the most critical aspect of making whiskey; sensory evaluation.  And of COURSE, arguably the most critical component of sensory evaluation is tasting!

And it's impossible to talk about his latest release (release #5) without talking about how and why Phil has chosen to take a bit of a non-traditional approach to how he's building his brand; by collaborating with other distilleries and like-minded brands focused on both quality and the exploration of flavor.--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/single-malt-matters/message

Making good on his promise from episode #34, Matt starts the deep dive down the whiskey rabbit hole to talk about milling with Matt Hofmann from Westland, and Murphy Quint from Cedar Ridge. This is so important to talk about, in large part because most people have NO understanding of it, but before malt can be mashed, it has to be milled, and that milling process is arguably the first step of the production process that has an immense impact not only of flavor, but on general perceived quality.

How Does Milling Impact Flavor?

In this episode, Matt gets back together with Steve Hawley from Westland Distillery in Seattle to taste through (and talk about) The Judgement of Westland. The Paris Wine Tasting of 1976, also known as the Judgment of Paris, was a wine competition organized in Paris on 24 May 1976 by Steven Spurrier, a British wine merchant, in which French judges carried out two blind tasting comparisons: one of top-quality Chardonnays and another of red wines (Bordeaux wines from France and Cabernet Sauvignon wines from California). A Californian wine rated best in each category, which caused surprise as France was generally regarded as being the foremost producer of the world's best wines. In the spirit of the Judgment of Paris, Hawley and Westland set out on a mission to establish that single malt whiskies should be evaluated on their own merits, rather than (primarily) on where they've been made. This conversation between Matt and Steve takes a journey through roughly five months, more than 2,000 individual tastings, and single malts from America, Australia, India and Scotland. And the results are quite surprising!--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/single-malt-matters/message
