Ever wondered why so few liquor store owners transition into becoming whiskey blenders? Come join us - and our guest, Amine Karl , the Old Louisville blender himself - as we tackle this question, and more. Amire takes us on a journey that traverses his career path, from his humble beginnings in the service industry, through the inception of his own brand - the Old Louisville Whiskey Company. Experience the thrill of crafting a business plan, buying barrels, and the intriguing process of obtaining a trademark.
In an extraordinary exploration of the world of whiskey barrel aging, we uncover the intricate details that stitch together the flavor and quality of whiskey. Through Amine's expert lens, we examine the cost difference between French and American oak barrels, the unique barrel used for the 1948 brandy barrel, and the impact of the American oak shortage in 2015. That's not all - we also delve into the process of creating a whiskey-brandy barrel blend and the peculiarities of Ohio being a control state. You'll also get an insider invitation to visit us for a tour and take home your very own bottle of whiskey.
As we draw our discussion to a close, we underscore the importance of supporting local businesses, especially in times of crisis, and how the bourbon community can unite to effect change. Our very own CT shares his thoughts on the Old Louisville brand and offers mouth-watering tasting notes. We share the remarkable backstory of the unique barrel used in the 1948 brandy barrel, and delve into the process of procuring and selecting barrels for maturation.
