A whiskey icon has died and we should all raise our shot glasses high in his honor.
Pouring a little out is for kids who drink cheap beer.
For Dave we should raise a shot of Whistlepig Rye and sip it slowly.
Dave Pickerell just weeks ago helped the band Metallica release their Blackened whiskey.
But true whiskey fans know why the legendary band picked Dave in the first place.
Dave spent 14 years at Makers Mark, but recently split his time between several projects.
WhistlePig, Hillrock, and an old-fashioned distillery at George Washington’s plantation in Mount Vernon.
His specialty was rye whiskey, but he was a master distiller of so much more.
He died on November 1st at 70 years old.
