From 6 generations of Sleemans to a jam with The Rhythm and Booze Project

As always, when I get next to a gathering of craft makers, whether they be wine makers, brewers, cider makers, chefs, sparkling wine makers or spirits, I always do way too many interviews.
It’s like a buffet. Can’t help myself.
To wrap up our coverage of the 20th annual Victoria Whisky Festival and the 16th annual Canadian Whisky Awards.

Victoria Whisky Festival
(With thanks to Heather Leary for wrangling and “perimeter security”!)

Here’s Part Two

John and Cooper Sleeman (Sleeman Breweries – Spring Mill Distillery)

John and Cooper Sleeman

The Sleeman Family. Cooper and John Sleeman represent 6 generations of brewing and spirits. World class artisans since 1836.
We do touch on the many awards they won but really the story is the family and how they became legends.

Adam Bradshaw – (the Strath Victoria) One of the very best Whisky shops anywhere. Adam is the go to guy. He’s talking about cask bottlings and two festival exclusives

Adam Bradshaw

The Rhythm and Booze Project (Felipe Schreiberg and Paul Archibald) Not only are they a two man band, playing the blues, but they are whisky educators as well.

They tour the world following the whisky.
