The "Master Distiller" Connection

Reggie competed in (and won) a high-stakes competition on the show. His expertise isn't just for TV; he’s a respected figure in the craft distilling community, known for:

Sour Mash Mastery: He is a proponent of the traditional sour mash process, which uses the "backset" (spent mash from a previous run) to ensure consistency and pH balance in the next batch.

Heritage Techniques: Reggie often emphasizes old-school, "backwoods" methods that prioritize flavor profile over mass production.
