The Wonderful World of Wine (WWW) Episode 308 Hosts Kim Simone and Mark Lenzi explore all things wine with you! Talking Whiskey With Colonel Craig Duncan Grab a glass 🥃 and join us for a very special episode as Kim and Mark take their first deep dive into the world of whiskey! We're thrilled to be joined by a true expert, Colonel Craig Duncan, the founder and president of Whiskey University. Colonel Duncan shares the fascinating journey of how Whiskey University and its foundational principles came to be, along with the story of how he earned his commission as a Colonel in both Kentucky and Tennessee. You'll quickly discover that much like wine, the location and terroir of whiskey truly matter, a concept we explore in detail. The Colonel gives us a clear definition of whiskey, and we draw fun parallels between wine stories and whiskey stories. We even compare a wine's tech sheet to a whiskey's mash bill! Get a history lesson as Colonel Duncan delves into the incredible, often surprising, history of whiskey in American government, including its impact on taxes. We also talk shop, comparing the landscape of big brands versus small, craft distilleries. Finally, the Colonel shares insights into current bourbon trends, and offers practical shopping and tasting tips to help you find your next favorite pour. Whether you're a lifelong whiskey lover or just starting your journey, this is the essential show for you! Cheers!
