022 - Staring Down The Barrel - Ghost Coast Distillery

Shoutout to the wives for bringing the Ghost Coast name to life! In this 3rd episode of Staring Down the Barrel, we meet Chris Sywassink, co-founder of the Ghost Coast distillery in historic Savannah, Georgia. The story of how the first legal distillery in Savannah since Prohibition came into being includes everything from moonshiners to General Oglethorpe’s affinity for oranges to a lesson about the impact of storms on barrel aging.  Ghost Coast’s Master Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a cozy bourbon with a lot of taste – created with a wonderful blend of four barrel-aged unique bourbons that include some not-so-traditional ingredients, like Saison yeast - which happens to provide just a hint of an apricot flavor.  This bourbon is a must try when you find it (available online) and the Ghost Coast distillery is a must visit when in the Savannah area. With a motto like “in the good times people drink, in the bad times people drink more”… you can’t go wrong exploring the many spirit flavors they offer.  @ghostcoastdistillery #BourbonOn
