Storytelling is in Devon Trevathan’s blood, and whether she’s distilling unique spirits in Austria, New Orleans, or Australia, or writing about the inspiring technical work of peers for articles for Spirits & Distilling, she remains focused on the dual side of making—pushing outside of one’s comfort zone and finding truth. Through Liba Spirits, she pursues a nomadic approach, producing spirits with their own stories at often far-flung locales. And with Trovador Rum, based in Nashville, Tennessee, she applies her developed blending skills to create a synthesis of various rum traditions. But her interests stretch well beyond specific styles and schools, and in this conversation with host Molly Troupe, she touches on:
- the unique flavor profile and historical significance of peated whiskey
- navigating the unique challenges of nomadic distilling
- exploring new ingredients and processes in the context of foreign distilleries
- working with infusion and maceration in place of barrel aging
- finding balance between sweetness and bitterness in aperitivo
- fine tuning spirits with filtration and adjustments
And more.
