In this episode, we take a tour of Bespoken Spirits, the innovative distillery that is transforming the Bourbon industry, one molecule at a time. Instead of waiting years for whiskey to age in barrels, Bespoken Spirits has developed a method that replicates the aging process in just a few days. Tune in to hear how this distillery uses cutting-edge technology like gas chromatographs and mass spectrometers to create bourbons that are delicious, sustainable, and accessible. This episode is for everyone—whether you're a science enthusiast, a bourbon lover, or simply curious about what the heck a "gas chromatograph" could be!

Bespoken Spirits was an exciting and unexpected stop on our Kentucky adventure. Our guides, Jordan Spitzer (Head of Flavor) and Colin Mulligan (Director of Development), kept the discussion on-the-go as they escorted us through Bespoken Spirits' labs and production facilities. You'll hear a bit of a warbling sound, as their facilities were vast, echoey, and filled with the hums and whirrings of high-tech equipment.

This episode also features curious questions from our production team, who were learning right along with us!
