(This interview was pre-recorded.)
A year and a half ago I was sent a sample of Arcane Imperial, a whiskey which was vacuum-distilled from an un-hopped Imperial Stout beer. Arcane had previously released a hopped whiskey called Alpha. I had questions about what exactly was in the bottle -- especially why it wasn't labeled an American Single Malt, even though it was made from 100% malted barley. I initially didn't get any response from Arcane or the PR firm I was in touch with when I requested more details. I later found out that Arcane was no longer producing spirits and any hope of a conversation with the producers faded away.
Recently I've again started investigating what "hopped whiskey" really means and its relationship to American Single Malt and I reached out again to Arcane, not expecting any response. To my delight, the PR firm connected me with Phil Morgan who previously worked for Arcane as a consulting distiller. He fit me into his schedule and we had a great chat. Enjoy!
