Episode 8: Distilling and Tasting Spirits with Trent Tilton

In this episode, we visit local San Diego Distillery and have an extended session sixth founder and distiller Trent Tilton. Aside from his full time job as a registered nurse, he also has a second full time job fulfilling his passion with these “spiritual” pursuits.

We discuss the process of distilling, how spirits get their flavor, how to properly taste whiskey, and participate in a partial tasting of really awesome products. If you have ever wanted to understand what goes into the making of a bottle of whiskey, you have to listen up. We learned a lot!

Thanks to San Diego Distillery in Spring Valley, CA for hosting us.
