    Moonshine U Closes and RNDC Sinks on Bourbon Community Roundtable #121

    On this week’s Bourbon Community Roundtable, our panel is tackling two massive seismic shockwaves rattling the very foundation of the spirits world. We jump straight into the first major headline: the shocking closure of Moonshine University. We break down what losing a premier educational hub like the Stave & Thief Society means for the future of spirits education, and whether this shutdown is the ultimate canary in the coal mine for a slowing craft distillery boom. Then, we turn our attention to the absolute biggest story in spirits retail: distributor giant RNDC filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and winding down operations. We unpack the domino effect of major supplier exits, razor-thin middle-tier margins, and unpaid invoices, analyzing the devastating fallout for small craft brands fighting for local liquor store shelf space. Finally, we throw down over what this massive distributor consolidation actually means for the three-tier system—debating whether this crisis will finally force lawmakers to rethink direct-to-consumer (DTC) shipping laws, or if we’re simply watching a maturing bourbon market undergo a painful, necessary contraction. Show Notes: The closure of Moonshine University: What losing a premier distilling school means for the spirits industry Assessing the value of bourbon certifications: Essential career springboard or mostly symbolic status? Unpacking RNDC's Chapter 11 filing: Supplier exits, thin margins, and the winding down of a middle-tier giant The ripple effect on small brands: Shelf space access, unpaid invoices, and the future of three-tier distribution Will distributor consolidation accelerate the push for direct-to-consumer (DTC) shipping legislation?

    Betting the Farm on Frey Ranch Bourbon with Colby and Ashley Frey

    A few years ago I was given a bottle by Dr. Pat Heist and it made me say Nevada bourbon? And today, we get to hear the story of Frey Ranch with Colby and Ashley Frey. They turned a multi-generational agriculture operation into one of the most respected craft distilleries in the country. Long before the whiskeys, Colby was growing wheat, rye, barley, and corn in the high desert of Fallon, Nevada. Colby takes us through those early days of battline state legislation and assembling their custom Vendome hybrid still system. Meanwhile, Ashley walks us through crafting the brand's packaging, and if you own a bottle you know how heavy the glass bottle and and topper are. But there's a deeper meaning to it and I won't spoil it for you. From meeting in college to balancing rural farm life, raising a family, and navigating the operational pressures of scaling a modern brand, Colby and Ashley give us an inside look at how they divide responsibilities, manage controlled expansion, and roll out their latest releases. Show Notes: How generations of Nevada agriculture paved the way for a 100% estate-grown, grain-to-glass whiskey operation The early legal and legislative battles required to make craft distilling legal in the state of Nevada Designing and assembling a hybrid Vendome still system to achieve both high-volume output and maximum flavor control The story behind Ashley’s farm-inspired bottle design, including the iconic bolt topper and belt-buckle label How Colby and Ashley divide leadership responsibilities while raising a family on a working rural ranch Scaling the brand intentionally, expanding into new markets, and what to expect from their upcoming rye releases Learn more about your ad choices.
