The science of spirits | Marta Chierego

A story of oak and water, of passion and craftsmanship, of grit and beauty. Based in Charlotteville, a remote hamlet in Schoharie County NY, Ken Wortz makes a single malt whiskey that has caught the attention of the finest experts in the field. Ken's work is also crucial to growing the local community of producers that he is a part of, from barley farmers, to boutique barrel producers and malting facilities, supporting the rebirth of a region blessed by abundant natural resources, yet fraught with social challenges.
