In this episode, I had the pleasure of interviewing Cody Turner from Casey Jones Distillery, located in western Kentucky. We delved into the history and ethos of the brand, as well as their unique approach to crafting bourbon.

Cody shared the fascinating story of Casey Jones, the namesake of the distillery, who was a still builder during Prohibition. Casey's claim to fame was his ability to create unique square pot stills, which eventually led to his arrest. However, the federal government later commissioned him to build a still for the Land Between the Lakes area.

We discussed the different expressions offered by Casey Jones Distillery, including their moonshine, barrel cut bourbons, and their upcoming releases. Cody highlighted their commitment to transparency, with detailed information about mash bills and barrel aging on their labels.

We also explored the growing trends in the bourbon industry, such as blending, transparent sourcing, and finishing casks. Cody emphasized that Casey Jones Distillery is well-positioned to excel in the finishing category, with their barrel cut product serving as a versatile tool for creating unique and flavorful expressions.

Lastly, we discussed the various experiences offered at the distillery, including tours and tastings, as well as their upcoming special events and releases. Cody invited listeners to join their email newsletter and follow them on social media for updates on these exciting offerings.
