If you're just getting into all things whiskey, you’ve likely come across a handful of terms that are a little unfamiliar up until this point. “Single barrel,” “double barrel,” “mash,” “Master Distiller” — the whiskey industry definitely comes with its own lingo.
To get you up to speed, here’s everything you need to know about who the Master Distiller is, what they do and, if you’re already in the know, how you can become one. (And, if you're still a little confused about that single versus double barrel thing, you can learn more about that, here!)
