Episode Details

On this episode, I dive into all things Barrell with Master Blender Nic Christiansen. Nic shares her journey before joining Barrell, honing her skills as Beverage Director at the renowned Butchertown Grocery. She discusses how managing an extensive whiskey program and crafting cocktails prepared her for her dream job—creating innovative whiskey blends.

Nic takes me through a tasting of Batch 36 and the newest release, Barrell Foundation Double Barrel, breaking down the science, creativity, and storytelling behind each blend. Along the way, she shares some great behind-the-scenes stories from the blending process. Then, we put a fun twist on things—pairing a movie with each whiskey. Turns out, Nic knows her horror and draws some killer connections between these bottles and her favorite films.

This was a blast to record, and I walked away with a whole new appreciation for Barrell’s approach. Hope you enjoy this week's episode!
