Ep #6 - MKT Distillery Tour

JUSTICE
About this episode

This is the 6th episode of Texas Whiskey Talk! In this episode the Weave and I went to Katy, Texas, and linked up with Nick and Nici Jessett, the owners of MKT Distillery. This is another two part series, where we do a walking and talking tour through the distillery and then we have a second episode with a tasting.

MKT distillery is named after the Missouri Kansas Texas Railroad whose historic tracks pass within 30 feet of the distillery. What’s unique about this operation is their connection to the rice. Katy, Texas was once the "Rice Capital of the South." MKT distillery honors this history by incorporating rice into its whiskey mash bills.
