We're thrilled to announce that Episode 75 of All Things Whiskey Podcast featuring from Steamboat Colorado is live now! Join us as we sit down with Owner John Lupori and Part-Owner, Brand Ambassador, and Advisory Board Member Anne Hutchison to talk about their whiskies and tequilas!

The custom bottle invokes a reaction and is an absolute work of art inspired by Greek and Roman statues that honors the American Woman and Americana. On the episode we discuss how American Woman Spirits Co champions women in whiskey (all female advisory board and majority woman run company) while creating exceptional craft whiskies with unique mash bills (bourbon is 99% corn, 1% malted barley) and proprietary aging using a variety of barrel chars.

I always say you can learn a lot about a whiskey by simply reading the label and this is particularly true with the incredible collaboration between and . It reads, "straight rye whiskey finished in Amrut Indian malt whisky barrels blended with straight bourbon whiskey." What they've done is taken two Indiana ryes and blended them together, then finished them in Amrut barrels for 18 months (full year and a half). Then once that is done, they back blended in 3 well aged Kentucky bourbons. The result is not only a stunning and robust whiskey, but a bottle that reflects the core pillars of the distillery that made it, collaboration (working with Amrut and other industry players), innovation (the first American Whiskey finished in Indian malt barrels), and transparency as they show you everything that goes into the bottle right on the label.

Well if you wanna hear more, this is the 3rd whiskey we drink and review on the most recent episode of All Things Whiskey Podcast! Tune in using the link in our bio or find it anywhere you can find a podcast (usually Apple Podcasts and Spotify).
