Rougaroux, Oryza, LA1 Whiskey, Olive or Twist: Bite and Booze Radio Show presented by Calandro's Supermarket

The Donner-Peltier Distillery in Thibodaux, LA is creating some mighty fine spirits that not only should we all be drinking, but we should also be quite proud of. Making the Rougaroux line of rum out of Louisiana sugar cane, the Oryza brand of vodka and gin out of Louisiana rice, and now Louisiana's first legally distilled aged whiskey since prohibition, the folks down in Thibodaux are really doing it right. Johnny Culpepper, head of the sales team for DP, joined me recently on the Bite and Booze Radio Show. Also in studio, Josh Duke from Olive or Twist mixed up their 13 Pennies for the Rougaroux cocktails which features the 13 Pennies Praline Rum. Blaise Calandro III from Calandro's Supermarket, where you can find all the Rougaroux and Oryza products, came in studio as well. We had a great time, and the radio show should be a great listen!
