Bourbon With Friends

Send us a text

Talking whiskey, science, and how to listen to the liquid to know when it's perfect, with Tripp Stimson! In this episode, we talk to Tripp Stimson, Chief Whiskey Scientist & Chief of Distillery Operations at Barrel Craft Spirits. We nerd out a bit from Tripp’s background in Biochemistry and Cell & Molecular Biology to his approach to blending and oak experimentation.
We start out discussing Tripp’s journey going from studying biochemistry to working at Brown Foreman as an analytical laboratory technician and associate scientist. We then get his feelings on winning multiple awards including their most recent Double Gold win at the San Francisco World Spirit Competition for the 5 Year Foundation Bourbon.
Tripp graciously shared one of their newest releases with us, the Mizanura Finish which is a blend of straight bourbons and finished in Japanese Mizanura oak. We discussed the rare (and expensive) oak’s past and how it brings unique flavors to an already unique blend.
We also talk about squirrels. But that’s every episode. So sit down, grab a pour, put it in an Erlenmeyer flask, and get ready to get nerdy with us and find out if a Bourbon with Friends can truly change the world.
