A former Army Engineer, Rebecca has moved on from building and blowing things up to drinking professionally and doing very careful math as Head of Product Development of Two Trees Distilling Co. in Fletcher, NC.

Rebecca joins me to share news on upcoming craft cocktails from Two Trees and why the company chooses to do both a spirit and malt-based product line. We sample a Kernza whiskey while discussing the innovative methods Two Trees uses to age whiskey.
