153: Meet Brian Nation, O'Shaughnessy Distilling's Irish Master Distiller

An American distillery with Irish heritage in its veins, O'Shaughnessy Distilling Company has engaged a modern legendary distiller of  Irish Whiskey to grow a product line which embraces the best of both whiskey worlds. Combining a classic American Rye with two Irish Whiskies, Master Distiller Brian Nation is looking to put Minnesota on the world whiskey map. The O'Shaughnessy Family convinced Brian to leave an established and world-renowned Irish distillery to perfect his own passion project.  Brian explains why he made this massive leap in his career in this episode, but in the words of Brian's mother, "What's for you, won't go by you."  We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did.  We were honored to have Brian on the Bourbon Lens podcast.  Download this episode on your favorite podcast player by clicking here.
