Rob Dietrich of Stranahan\'s Distillery in Denver wants to change that, and he\'s trying to rally other distillers behind his cause. We\'ll talk with the master distiller of Stranahan\'s, which is back in nationwide distribution across the US after supply shortages several years ago forced Proximo Spirits to pull back and sell Stranahan\'s only in Colorado.\\xa0In the news, the UK\'s "Brexit" vote is starting to affect whisky sales as consumers take advantage of the weak British pound, but two UK distillery projects managed to make their crowdfunding goals despite economic uncertainty following the vote. We\'ll also have details on the week\'s new whisky releases and help a listener teach his bartender how to make a proper Manhattan!
