episode 96: Battlefield to Glass Spirits
In this episode, we interview distiller Yianni Barakos of Mason Dixon Distillery in Gettysburg, PA. Some of the things that we discuss include:
- How a napkin sketch, a home distilling fire, and a serious accident led Yianni to pursue a career in distilling sooner than he had anticipated.
- What Mason Dixon Distillery is doing to introduce folks in central Pennsylvania to incredible craft spirits and a wide variety of bold flavors in their German beer hall-inspired pub.
- How Yianni was awarded a special lease to farm his grain on the Gettysburg National Military Park.
- A curated tasting of Mason Dixon’s excellent craft spirits and some notes on the distilling setup and barrel program used to create them.
- The differences between a hyper-specialized spirits program and a more wide-ranging approach to building your portfolio.
- And much, much more.
