This week we welcome Elizabeth McCall, the NEW Master Distiller for Woodford Reserve to the show! Elizabeth has been a guest before and we are so happy to have her back on to discuss her new role as Master Distiller for the company. She takes Jesse through her career with Woodford Reserve, and what it takes to become Master Distiller. How not only is she overseeing quality and innovation and leading special releases, but she is also overseeing so much more of the process than you might think when you think about what the Master Distillers day to day responsibilities look like! On top of that she then walks Jesse through her first release as Master Distiller and they taste through the new Master’s Collection Historic Barrel Entry offering. It's a great conversation and we can't congratulate Elizabeth enough on her new role and title and welcome her back to the show for this weeks Bourbon Showdown Podcast!
