We’re Basically Making Molotov Cocktails: The Art, Science, and Dangers Of How Whiskey Is Produced | feat. Devin Mills

Matt Robertson is joined by Devin Mills, who designs distilleries, to discuss the art of how whiskey is produced. 
They dive into the history, safety challenges, and legal complexities of the industry, from the risks of explosions to the lingering effects of Prohibition. As they sample different whiskey varieties - wheat, malt, rye, and bourbon - the discussion covers the unique flavor profiles, the role of barrel aging, and the potential for starting a small-batch brand. With insights into the science and business of whiskey, this episode offers an engaging, behind-the-scenes look at the dynamic world of craft distilling. 
 
Also in this episode:  
Safety is the top priority in distillery design due to the flammable nature of alcohol and risk of explosions. 
Prohibition in the 20th century caused a major loss of knowledge and innovation in the whiskey industry. 
Current laws and regulations still reflect an outdated view of spirits as more "evil" than beer or wine. 
The flavor profiles of different whiskey types (wheat, malt, rye, bourbon) are achieved through the specific grains used and barrel aging process. 
Whiskey can continue to evolve and improve in flavor for decades as it matures in the barrel. 
Starting a small-batch whiskey brand involves navigating complex legal and logistical challenges, such as contract distilling and reselling pre-aged product.
