Vendome Featured on The Whiskey Trip Podcast
We are pleased to share that Vendome Copper & Brass Works was featured on the latest episode of The Whiskey Trip podcast. Hosted by “Big Chief,” the conversation highlights our company’s 120-year heritage, the importance of copper in distillation, and the role Vendome plays in supporting both legacy distillers and the modern craft whiskey movement.
This episode offers a rare, behind-the-scenes look at the people and craftsmanship behind the equipment that powers America’s whiskey industry.
As Mike shared on the show:
“You can have all the grain and limestone water you want — but without a still, you’re not making whiskey.”

A Legacy Forged in Copper and Craft
During the interview, Mike Sherman discussed the early roots of Vendome in the early 1900s and how our family business has grown alongside the American spirits industry. The episode touches on a number of topics including:
- Four generations of family leadership and hands-on craftsmanship
- The irreplaceable role of copper in producing quality spirits
- Supporting distillers ranging from emerging craft producers to the largest operations in the world
- Historical restoration projects, including recreating stills based on original designs from the 1700s
- The evolution of American distilling and the resurgence of whiskey around the globe
The discussion reinforces what we see every day in our work: this industry is built on heritage, attention to detail, and a collaborative spirit that drives everyone forward.
Commitment to Community and the Future
One of the core themes discussed was the strong sense of community within the whiskey world. From longtime heritage brands to first-generation craft distillers, this industry celebrates shared passion and mutual support. Mike closed the episode by encouraging listeners to help support the continued growth and visibility of the whiskey community.
“Please visit both our pages and help us reach more people.”
Special Listener Giveaway
To celebrate the episode, Mike offered a unique giveaway for listeners: Vendome merchandise and a private tour for six to eight people. Vendome does not offer public tours, so this is a special opportunity to experience our facility and see our work firsthand.
The Whiskey Trip also paired the giveaway with a premium bottle to further highlight and support independent voices in the whiskey world.
