Listen "Elixir: San Francisco's Best Whisky Bar"
Episode Synopsis
San Francisco's Elixir dates its history back to 1858, when it opened in the city's Mission District along a plank road at the corner of what is now 16th and Guerrero. The bar still has its Gold Rush-era look and feel, thanks to careful restoration work led by owner H. Joseph Ehrmann. We'll talk with head bartender Nick Madden and general manager Shea Shawnson on this week's WhiskyCast In-Depth. In the news, English Whisky is a step closer to getting its own geographical indicator status, though not without some objections. Campari is considering layoffs because of declining Cognac sales, and Suntory Holdings is reporting a slight gain in 2024 sales. We'll have the details, along with the week's tasting notes and much more.
