This live interview is scheduled for 2pm PDT / 5pm EDT on Thursday 7/25.

Copper Fox Distillery makes some amazing American Single Malts smoked and/or aged with hardwood such as applewood and peach wood. This is a completely unique source of flavor amongst the world's whiskeys and we can attest that the results are both delicious and intriguing.
