Indian River Distillery (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Cal Evans visits Indian River Distillery in Vero Beach, where Ray Hooker put a piece of 1715 treasure-fleet silver in the still and named his whiskey for the last American pirates. From a camp in the Florida scrub to rewriting the county zoning code, this is a conversation about bottles that tell forgotten stories of home.
Big Cypress Distillery (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Fernando Plata built Miami's first gin out of a warehouse bay next to Kendall's airport, a leap that started over a Christmas dinner and years of self-taught fermentation science. He talks about why every recipe is public, why he won't call himself a master distiller, and what it takes to age whiskey in a state with no winter.
