Aussie rye whiskey Gospel spreads to USA

Drinks Adventures - Wine, beer, whisky, gin & more with James Atkinson

A podcast for lovers of wine, beer, liquor (incl. whisky, whiskey, bourbon, vodka tequila etc) and cocktails, Drinks Adventures hosts wine makers, brewing and distilling experts, sommeliers, bartenders & more.
The Gospel Distillers is a dedicated rye whiskey distillery based in Melbourne, Australia.
We first met co-founder Andrew Fitzgerald in April 2020 for a chat primarily about the impact of COVID-19 on his business.
Andrew returns for this opening episode of Season 13, so you’re going to find out what’s been happening at The Gospel since then.
And we’ll be talking purely about rye whiskey, rather than hand sanitiser; more specifically, The Gospel’s recent entry into the US market.
It seems a bold move, taking Australian rye over to the home of rye whiskey.
So I asked Andrew first up how he and his business partner, Ben Bowles, came to this decision.
