Not long ago, we nearly lost rye whiskey. For decades, the historic whiskey was barely made in the United States, and most drinkers and bartenders had never tasted it.
Just when it seemed that rye might disappear for good, a small miracle occurred. Thanks to a grassroots effort, Rittenhouse Rye became available for sale in New York and helped kick off the whisky’s dramatic and improbable comeback as well as the modern cocktail revolution.
On this episode of Fix Me a Drink, hosts Noah Rothbaum and David Wondrich discuss the rebirth of rye and are joined by Heaven Hill’s West Coast Whiskey Educator & Ambassador Jack Choate as well as legendary bartender Audrey Saunders.
So pour yourself a glass of rye and listen to this new episode of Fix Me a Drink. Cheers!

On March 3, 1897, the United States Congress passed the Bottled-in-Bond Act, which irrevocably changed the future of American whiskey.
The legislation established a designation that brands could use to differentiate their spirits from those that were basically knockoffs—neutral grain spirit flavored and colored with a range of deleterious ingredients. It also established rigorous production standards for distillers, who still must follow these regulations when making bottled-in-bond bourbon.
On this episode of Fix Me a Drink, hosts Noah Rothbaum and David Wondrich discuss the history of the Bottled-in-Bond Act and why it's still relevant today over glasses of Heaven Hill Bottled-in-Bond Bourbon. They’re joined by two bottled-in-bond experts: Heaven Hill Distillery’s master distiller, Conor O’Driscoll, and national brand ambassador, Bernie Lubbers. Together, they discuss the distillery's decades-long commitment to producing bottled-in-bond whiskies and how this 7-year-old bourbon is leading that tradition into the future.

For years, a number of British and American gin brands have touted so-called navy strength gin, which is a robust 57 percent alcohol by volume. As legend has it, the Royal Navy demanded that the gin be bottled at a very high proof so if it ever spilled on the ship’s supply of black powder, the powder would still light.
There’s just one major problem: There is no record of the Royal Navy ever officially giving gin to its sailors.
On this episode of Fix Me a Drink, hosts David Wondrich and Noah Rothbaum try to get to the bottom of this myth and discuss what types of liquor the Royal Navy actually did purchase for its sailors. They also talk about why you might still want to drink navy strength despite its invented past.

It’s no secret that Des Linden is one of the world’s best long-distance runners. In 2018, she became the first American woman to win the Boston Marathon in more than 30 years. Her gritty performance that day through driving rain and high winds was one for the history books. She followed that up with two Olympic marathon appearances, and then smashed the world record for the 50K distance in 2021. But what might be less well known about Linden is that she’s a big fan of bourbon.
On this episode of Fix Me a Drink, hosts David Wondrich and Noah Rothbaum chat with Linden about how she got into American whiskey, her new memoir Choosing to Run, and the podcast Nobody Asked Us that she co-hosts with fellow legendary runner Kara Goucher.

More than 40 years ago, Eddie Russell started working at Wild Turkey’s distillery in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky. Ultimately, he became master distiller and created some of the brand’s most well-known whiskies. In 2010, he was inducted into the Kentucky Bourbon Hall of Fame. It’s not unexpected—or even surprising—that he would have such a long and prolific career. Incredibly, Eddie’s father, bourbon legend Jimmy Russell, has been working at the Wild Turkey distillery even longer, starting there on September 10, 1954.
On this episode of Fix Me a Drink, Eddie joins hosts David Wondrich and Noah Rothbaum to talk about what it was like growing up in the bourbon business and how the explosion in popularity of American whiskey has made distillers inadvertent rock stars.

The winter of 2013 was one of the worst times in modern history to open a bar in New York City.
Manhattan was still reeling from Hurricane Sandy, especially the southern tip of the island, which had been battered by destructive high winds and corrosive flood waters. The Dead Rabbit was no exception—the establishment’s ancient building sits just a couple of blocks away from New York Harbor and was damaged in the storm. But despite these less than ideal conditions, the bar opened in February of that year and grew into a massive success within the Big Apple’s notoriously competitive market.
On this episode of Fix Me a Drink, hosts David Wondrich and Noah Rothbaum are joined by Jack McGarry, the Dead Rabbit’s managing director and co-founder, to discuss the bar’s incredible first decade in business and how it has evolved along the way. The trio also talks about McGarry’s plans to expand, opening Dead Rabbit bars in cities across the country.
