Distiller Steve Nally stands with the still at Wyoming Whiskey in Kirby. Formerly a master distiller at Maker’s Mark in Kentucky, Nally was hired to create and brand the only bourbon made in Wyoming.
Craft breweries and distilleries are hot right now. Not to be outdone, Wyoming entrepreneurs created a bourbon distillery in Kirby, using local ingredients from the Bighorn Basin and bearing the name Wyoming Whiskey. After four years of aging the first batch, Wyoming Whiskey flew off the shelves when it was released exclusively in Wyoming in early December. Wyoming Public Radio’s Rebecca Martinez visited the distillery and explored the hype. She filed this report.
