For his Roaming St. Louis segment this week, KMOX host Scott Jagow found himself sippin' whiskey at a distillery in the shadow of the Gateway Arch. He chats with the owner of StilL 630 (the 2nd L is capitalized) David Weglarz, a self-professed "mad scientist" when it comes to crafting bourbon, gin, rum and other spirits.
Years ago, Weglarz abandoned his job in finance and pursued a passion for making spirits. He eventually helped pass a state law recognizing Missouri bourbon as a unique designation. Just this week, StilL 630's Confluence Gin won a big award. Listen to the interview below.
