207 years ago this week, Catherine Spears Carpenter Frye is credited with a recipe for distilling bourbon whiskey from sweet and sour mash.  

It was first produced in 1775, with conflicting stories about which distiller got there first. Bourbon is distinctive because of its corn content and distilling process. The mash must contain at least 51% corn and be distilled in charred oak barrels, giving the spirit its unique flavor and color. 

The drink has become synonymous with Kentucky across the world, with over 95 percent of the world’s bourbon originating in the Commonwealth.

Joseph O’Sullivan is the master distiller at Minden Mill Distilling in Minden, Nevada. O’Sullivan started his distilling career in 2005, and was previously the master distiller for Hood River, Oregon-based Clear Creek Distillery. At Minden Mill, O’Sullivan oversees production of the distillery’s estate-made spirits, which include bourbon, rye, and a recently released American single malt whiskey. 

For this episode, O’Sullivan sat down with CRAFT SPIRITS magazine editor in chief Jeff Cioletti at the 12th annual American Craft Spirits Convention & Expo this March in Tucson, Arizona. They discuss O’Sullivan’s move from Oregon to Nevada, his passion for sharing knowledge in the spirits industry, the concept of terroir in whiskey, the current and future state of no- and low-alcohol spirits, and much more.
