Episode 108: Woodford Reserve & The Kentucky Derby with Master Distiller Chris Morris, Assistant Master Distiller Elizabeth McCall

Apr 30, 2021

And....we're BACK, talking about some of my favorite subjects: bourbon, very fancy thousand dollar mint juleps, and the Kentucky Derby! This week's guests are Chris Morris and Elizabeth McCall, the Master Distiller and Assistant Master Distiller, respectively of Woodford Reserve, the official bourbon and Presenting Sponsor of the Kentucky Derby. On the eve of “The Greatest Two Minutes in Sports” I invite you to take a moment, pour out a little Woodford, and pre-game with us.

This week's featured cocktail is the traditional Derby Day cocktail:
Mint Julep
2 ounces Woodford Reserve Straight Bourbon Whiskey
1/2 ounce simple syrup
3 Fresh Mint Leaves
Crushed Ice
Powdered Sugar - optional.
 
Express the essential oils in the mint and rub them inside the glass. Add simple syrup, bourbon, and crushed ice to the glass and stir. Garnish with more ice, fresh mint, and powdered sugar.
