The 3rd in my founders series, representing a continued evolution in our whiskey education.  In the early episodes of S1, Allison Parc introduced us to the concept of terroir, how a spirit is influenced by the natural environment wherein it’s produced and what that meant to her and Brenne. Later that season, Colin Spoelman of Kings County dug deep into the importance of regionalization to the future of American Whiskey.  In this episode, I’m talking with Matt Hoffman of Westland Distillery of Seattle who brings things full circle & explains how these two concepts are not only linked from a geological sense, but for Westland, to a cultural and spiritual sense - the Pacific Northwest.
