silverfish Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 I came across an April 20, 2010 interview with JVW and a search didn't show it listed so I thought I'd share. The video is listed as 52 minutes long.This link goes to the video interview with a transcript if you'd prefer to read it. The video on this page is listed as 1 hour 11 minutes (which coincides with the time notations along the transcript.)I found the more interesting topics (history aside) came later in the interview:55:00 Julian "...tried a thirty-year-old before, and it's--I don't care who made it--it's not going to make it. It's not going to make the trip very, very gracefully."63:00 His "desert island" whiskey - "Probably some very extra old fifteen-year-old 90 proof Old Fitzgerald. Best stuff on the planet."67:00 Re: BT - "We are basically still using the Weller recipe." and elaborates on warehouse placement of barrels & picking the good ones69:00 (regarding sales figures) - "We're probably, uh, you know, we're at about five or six thousand cases which doesn't go very far at all." and then goes on to explain the allocation.Enjoy!

nblair Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 This is a great interview, as well as the others in the Buffalo Trace Oral History project. This was surprisingly only shortly discussed here. So far I've seen the Leonard Riddle and Ronnie Eddins, Jimmy and Freddie Johnson, Harlen Wheatley, and Mark Brown interviews. Spending some time watching these is highly recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverfish Posted February 6, 2011 Author Share Posted February 6, 2011 This is a great interview, as well as the others in the Buffalo Trace Oral History project. This was surprisingly only shortly discussed here. I guess I didn't use the correct search words but thanks for the link.I agree that the discussion was relatively minor given the intervieweesand wealth of information. I'll have to check out the others now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jinenjo Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 I think when I was told about this a while ago I tried to convert it to audio to listen on my mp3 player, but to no avail.Does anyone know if it's possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverfish Posted February 21, 2011 Author Share Posted February 21, 2011 I think when I was told about this a while ago I tried to convert it to audio to listen on my mp3 player, but to no avail.Does anyone know if it's possible?I would think it would be. Try a search for audio recorder at download.comand perhaps you can find something. I know my wife has a program to record youtube clips (but don't know the name of it offhand.) Would something like that work for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jinenjo Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Perhaps, I have a mac and I used to have a program called mp3-my-mp3 that recorded all sounds coming through the speakers, but haven't found anything related for Macs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
