Scott Sanders (USNA '80) is the owner of Tobacco Barn Distillery, a true ground-to-glass distillery bringing the best whiskies, bourbons and rums to the Maryland area.  Their signature “Constellation Rum” is fermented, double-distilled, and sealed in four bourbon barrels for an embarkation aboard the U.S.S. Constellation in Baltimore, Maryland. Pretty cool story!In this episode, Scott and I discuss:

• How they grew their business to sell their products in over 20 liquor stores in the Maryland area and their plan to expand into other states

• How their farm uses a combination of solar, geothermal, and heat recovery systems as part of their commitment to protect Southern Maryland’s environment

• Fun stories about how he used bourbon as a bargaining chip with foreign officers while serving in the Navy
