We're joined by Benay Shannon of Restless Spirits Distilling Company - one of the only female master distillers in America. She shares her journey from teaching high school science to starting Kansas City's top craft distillery with her husband. They're changing the local cocktail scene with gin, vodka, and whisky that combine the best of traditional styles with new approaches.
