Ep. 35: Trillium Brewing & Distilling Is Making an American Single Malt
Trillium Brewing has started production on an American Single Malt Whiskey!
Join us Wednesday, January 15th, at 4pm PST, as we talk with Trillium founder JC Tetreault and distiller/blender Kyle Wortz about their current line of whiskey and spirits and their plans for the future!
In April 2024, Trillium Brewing, makers of delicious craft beer, launched a line of spirits under the Trillium Distilling Co. name. Around October 2024, the distillery made me aware that they were starting production on an American Single Malt Whiskey. Naturally, as a fan of their beer, and a fan of Craft American Single Malt Whiskey, I had to invite them on for an interview.
I started reviewing whiskey in 2020 by seeking out the kinds of things my friends might want to try, and quickly moved to seeking the unique and interesting. These days I focus most of my energy on American Single Malt Whiskey, including creating the subreddit /r/AmericanSMW. I enjoy Single Malts from around the world, as well as a little of everything else, including Bourbon, Brandy, Rum, and Mezcal. I’ve been using names starting with “Demi” since forever, so when I noticed my habit of pouring what seemed to be the smallest drams around the web, and the obvious pun with the small espresso cup called a demitasse, I decided that the name “DemiTastes” only made sense. (I’m DemiReticent on Reddit.)
