What he learned along the way is that travel needs purpose to be truly fulfilling. It was during these travels that he went on a themed trip to Kentucky so he could learn about Bourbon. After visiting 17 distilleries in Kentucky and two more in Tennessee in eight days, he fell in love with the history, stories, and traditions of whisky distilling. But he also noticed that not all distilleries were telling the same story. His natural curiosity led him to shift from travel to creating the Whiskey Lore podcast.Drew’s journey has now taken him to over 300 distilleries worldwide, exploring the unique stories and traditions behind each one. In 2025, he embarked on his ambitious “Great 48 Tour,” visiting craft distilleries across the United States, one state at a time, connecting with the passionate people behind America’s vibrant distilling scene. These experiences, combined with his meticulous research, have culminated in Whiskey Lore: Volume One, a deep dive into 24 whiskey myths and legends that reveal the real stories behind the lore.Drew’s passion for whisky history and storytelling doesn’t stop there. He is also creating the ultimate distillery travel guide at whiskey-lore.com/travel, providing a comprehensive resource for planning immersive distillery visits. His earlier books, Experiencing Kentucky Bourbon and Experiencing Irish Whiskey, have set a standard for whisky travel guides, and he continues to raise the bar with every new project.The success of his books and podcast has driven Drew’s mission to uncover more stories, write more books, and bring whisky scholarship to a higher level. Along the way, he is spreading the word through guided whisky tastings, speaking engagements, and interviews around the globe, inspiring whisky enthusiasts and travelers alike to explore the rich history and culture of this beloved spirit.Tennessee whiskey, a unique American spirit, boasts a history deeply intertwined with the state's cultural and economic development. It's characterized by the Lincoln County Process, a unique charcoal mellowing step before aging, which contributes to its distinctive smoothness and flavor. While sharing similarities with bourbon, Tennessee whiskey producers emphasize their spirit's unique identity and connection to the state. Early Days and Pioneers:Frontier Roots:Tennessee whiskey's origins trace back to the late 18th and early 19th centuries, coinciding with westward expansion and the arrival of Scottish and Irish immigrants. These settlers brought their distilling knowledge and traditions, initially using rye, but later shifting to corn as a primary grain. The Lincoln County Process:A key figure in Tennessee whiskey's history is Nearest Green, an enslaved man who taught Jack Danielthe art of distilling. Green is credited with developing the Lincoln County Process, a method of filtering whiskey through sugar maple charcoal. This process, which precedes aging, is crucial to Tennessee whiskey's distinct character.
