Welcome to Episode 8 of the Bourbon & Breakthroughs Series, and today we welcome award-winning mixologist, Karla Green, who is the Creative Director of Watch Hill Proper. Karla's focus is now squarely on menu design, creative drink ideas, education, training, and testing, and she brings 20 years of bartending experience into her current position. Karla also helped imagine and design the impressive bar at Watch Hill Proper, which boasts the world's largest collection of American whiskeys. On the menu today is the Hemingway Rye First Edition, and we have a great time tasting and reflecting on this rather rare item, with Karla sharing her best tasting practices and the different ways she likes to serve it up. From there, our guest delves into some really interesting professional ideas, talking about her belief in taking ownership, setting a good example for her team, her quality control practices, and her prioritization of great communication. We get the inside perspective on her growth-oriented mindset, and listeners will come away with a fresh appreciation for the world of whiskey, and the need to trust the journey of life. So make sure to tune in and hear all that Karla has to say!
