wild wild yeast

Over the last few weeks I’ve talked about foundational blocks to the whiskey making process and how they impact the overall outcome of the final product. As you can tell today is about yeast.

Yeast is one of those things that gets a highlight at every major distillery you visit. Most distilleries have their own yeast strain that they’ve cared for over the years. There’s even distillers that have captured their yeast from the DNA of a dead yeast strain from a family lineage.


Topics/Brands Discussed:
Wild Yeast
Alan Bishop and The Spirits of French Lick
Todd Leopold and Leopold Bros Spirits
TX Bourbon and Firestone & Robertson Distilling
