In this episode of Aussie Bourbon Lovers, we taste a bourbon from Freeland Spirits, a women-owned distillery out of Portland, Oregon — and quite possibly the best-looking bottle we’ve ever featured.
We explore:
💃 The Freeland story: Meemaw inspiration, women-led vision
🧪 Why women have more taste buds (it’s science!)
🍷 Finishing notes: hints of Pinot Noir cask ageing
🎥 How a work trip turned into a distillery visit
🥃 What it’s like to sip something that's equal parts cool, rare, and heartfelt
From bottle shape to backstory, this one’s got flavour in all the right places.
