Onsite at Potter Jane Distillery w/Jane Bowie

Season 9 has officially begun! Joshua and Jason fly out to Kentucky to meet with Potter Jane Distillery's Co-Founder, Jane Bowie.
This was a rare opportunity to walk through the distillery, which is still in construction, to discuss the plans and dreams both Jane Bowie and Denny Potter have while watching these dreams being built in real time.
Also in discussion is the state of the whisky industry writ large. It's not as bad as you think it is! We hope you enjoy being a fly on the wall at our Potter Jane distillery tour.
