Whiskey Is In Their Blood

On this episode of Our American Stories, the Old Dominick Distillery story starts back in 1859 with an Italian immigrant and a fruit cart that grew to be one of the largest distribution companies in the South. Add in a Kentucky woman who didn't drink until she was 21 (Alex Castle), and you get the first whiskey distillery in Memphis as well as the first female head distiller in the state of Tennessee since Prohibition.  Support the show (https://www.ouramericanstories.com/donate)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
