Send Whiskey | It Gets Weird Sometimes

This week, Nick Touch of The Family Jones joined us for a fun blind tasting of their whiskey next to other Colorado whiskeys. We then dove in to talk about what The Family Jones misses most in the pandemic: their family. As well as where the inspiration for their awesome labels come from. Plus, we get to try one of their fun bottled cocktails, and we were both impressed. Give it a listen.

Did you know that seltzers are different than canned cocktails? They're taxed differently because one's a "beer" and one is a "spirit". TIL...

We learned this from the Mile High Spirits owners, as well as more about what they've been up to through the pandemic. We also did a super fun blind tasting with their Fireside Whiskey as well as 3 other Colorado local whiskeys.

Owner and distiller, Tom Burkleaux joined us remotely from Portland, OR to talk about the recent fees the FDA threatened to charge distilleries for selling hand sanitizer. After a bit of a stink was raised on the interwebz and social spaces, the FDA said distilleries are allowed to continue making hand sanitizer while the pandemic continues and waived the imposed fees.

If you're looking for straight facts on the situation, we're not the best source, but we did love getting to hear a distiller's perspective on what happened, as well as hear how New Deal Distillery is doing in this strange world we've found ourselves in.
