Raise a Glass to Rebellion: Why Liberty Pole Is the Most Important Whiskey You’re Not Drinking…Yet
Episode 76
Tuesday, 13 January, 2026
What does it really mean to make whiskey with conviction?In this episode of Whiskey Rocks, we sit down with Jim Hough of Liberty Pole Spirits, a distillery that isn’t interested in shortcuts, trends, or chasing hype. Instead, they’re laser-focused on doing things the hard way — local grain, grain-to-glass production, and a deep respect for Pennsylvania rye’s rebellious roots.Jim walks us through why Liberty Pole believes where your grain comes from matters just as much as what’s in the barrel, how patience and stubbornness can actually be competitive advantages, and why some whiskeys are meant to challenge you rather than please everyone.This is a conversation about independence, identity, and why Liberty Pole might just be the most important whiskey you’re not drinking… yet.Pour a glass and press play.To learn more about Liberty Pole Spirits, visit www.libertypolespirits.com To keep the conversation going and join our community of whiskey and music weirdos, follow us on TikTok, Instagram and YouTube @thewhiskeyrockspodcastWhiskey rocks, sip hard!
