Not long ago, we nearly lost rye whiskey. For decades, the historic whiskey was barely made in the United States, and most drinkers and bartenders had never tasted it.
Just when it seemed that rye might disappear for good, a small miracle occurred. Thanks to a grassroots effort, Rittenhouse Rye became available for sale in New York and helped kick off the whisky’s dramatic and improbable comeback as well as the modern cocktail revolution.
On this episode of Fix Me a Drink, hosts Noah Rothbaum and David Wondrich discuss the rebirth of rye and are joined by Heaven Hill’s West Coast Whiskey Educator & Ambassador Jack Choate as well as legendary bartender Audrey Saunders.
So pour yourself a glass of rye and listen to this new episode of Fix Me a Drink. Cheers!

The Case for Drinking Bottled-in-Bond Bourbon - Fix Me a Drink
On March 3, 1897, the United States Congress passed the Bottled-in-Bond Act, which irrevocably changed the future of American whiskey.
The legislation established a designation that brands could use to differentiate their spirits from those that were basically knockoffs—neutral grain spirit flavored and colored with a range of deleterious ingredients. It also established rigorous production standards for distillers, who still must follow these regulations when making bottled-in-bond bourbon.
On this episode of Fix Me a Drink, hosts Noah Rothbaum and David Wondrich discuss the history of the Bottled-in-Bond Act and why it's still relevant today over glasses of Heaven Hill Bottled-in-Bond Bourbon. They’re joined by two bottled-in-bond experts: Heaven Hill Distillery’s master distiller, Conor O’Driscoll, and national brand ambassador, Bernie Lubbers. Together, they discuss the distillery's decades-long commitment to producing bottled-in-bond whiskies and how this 7-year-old bourbon is leading that tradition into the future.
So listen to this new episode of Fix Me a Drink. Cheers!
