treaty oak

You don't often hear of gins from Texas, but Treaty Oak have been distilling their Waterloo Gin since 2011. 

With a distinctly Texan flavour and attitude, Waterloo is best known for their Antique Gin, a barrel-aged liquid that many have described as one that will change your mind about gin. 

To discuss this further, we talk with Jamie Biel, Treaty Oak's director of science and sustainability about aged gin, botanicals, barrels and of course, sustainability. 

For a place with a reasonable reputation for public safety, the Austin area has produced some of the most traumatic and sensationally reported crimes in American history. 

We’ve got a special guest this episode – look at us go! Daniel Barnes, CEO and founder of Treaty Oak Distilling, comes on with a delightful look at how each offering of the distillery is the embodiment of a Parks and Rec character. Daniel is also hugely passionate about diversity and inclusion in his industry, and it’s awesome to hear what Treaty Oak is doing to be more inclusive.

Additionally, we talk about scaring people, crying during movies, and the different ways you can censor out nudity. Joey tells a story and says “like” about 45 times in 32 seconds. Sean has also eaten a lot of chili, so he’s especially fiery (in more ways than one).

We always share some things we discuss on our social channels, so be sure to follow us on Twitter and Facebook! You can also hit us up on parkswreckedpod.com.
