In the Fall 2019 Issue of Artisan Spirit Magazine, we published a piece about pot distillation as it relates to certain whiskey styles made in the U.S. titled “Bourbon from the Pot.” It featured Colin Spoelman, co-founder of Kings County Distillery in Brooklyn, New York and noted pot still apostle. The article garnered strong reactions from our readership as a whole, so we felt it was an excellent opportunity to continue the conversation. In part two, we pick up where the original piece left off, this time focusing instead on column distillation. Regular Artisan Spirit contributor George B. Catallo spoke with Jason Zeno, the current director of operations at Porchjam Distillery in New Orleans, Louisiana and former Beam Suntory employee, to get more information. — DEVON TREVATHAN WWW.ARTISANSPIRITMAG.COM
