100th Episode Celebration with Michter's Master Distiller Dan McKee
Description
Gavin celebrates the milestone of 100 episodes by welcoming a special guest: Dan McKee, Master Distiller at Michter's Distillery. McKee, a longtime friend and industry peer, shares his journey into the world of whiskey, beginning with casual sips as a young man before embarking on a 13-year career in commercial roofing. His path shifted dramatically when he took a job as a distillery operator at Jim Beam, where he gained invaluable experience for nine years, witnessing the industry's resurgence and the dawn of automation.
McKee reflects on joining the Michter's team in 2014 as employee number eight and the unique, hands-on approach to whiskey making that defines the brand. He highlights the importance of relationships and the dedication of the entire team, which he says is the reason Michter's has been recognized as the most admired whiskey in the world for two consecutive years.
