This week's guest on Spirits of Whisk(e)y is Chris Seals, Co-Founder & CEO of Still Austin Whiskey Co. After a successful career in consulting on economics and sustainability for government and corporations large and small, the Kansas City native accepted his father's offer to open a distillery together. And so, after a global father-son tour of whiskey's very wide world, Still Austin, located in—yes, you guessed it—Austin, Texas, was born! Listen and learn how Chris, blending legend Nancy Fraley, and renowned Jamaican rum distiller Mike Delavante set about creating Still Austin's signature bourbon and limited release whiskeys, along with a house gin crafted from Texas rye. Plus hear Chef Louise Leonard's suggestions for pairing Still Austin bourbon with smoked beef ribs.
