Wilderton's Adventure: Crafting Non-Alcoholic Spirits with Brad Whiting

For us really wanted to take the creativity and a little bit of the maybe irreverence of the craft spirits industry to do things differently.
Imagine savoring a drink that's as complex and enjoyable as your favorite spirit, but without the alcohol. In this episode of 'For All Drinks', host Marcos Salazar sits down with Brad Whiting, Co-Founder and CEO of Wilderton, to talk about their groundbreaking journey in the world of non-alcoholic spirits. Brad, a veteran in the liquor industry, and Seth O’Malley, an expert distiller with a love for botanicals, teamed up to create something truly unique.
Tired of the limitations of traditional spirits, they embarked on a two-year adventure filled with experimentation and innovation. With Oregon’s adventurous spirit as their guide, they explored Seth’s extensive library of botanical samples, trying out wild combinations and new production methods. The result? Wilderton—a line of distilled spirits that are rich in flavor and complexity, yet completely alcohol-free. In this episode, Brad dives into the fascinating process behind creating these unique drinks.
From the use of white peppercorn and pine to smoke tea, each ingredient is chosen to bring out distinct flavors that can be enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or in a sophisticated cocktail. But it’s not just about the drinks; Brad also shares insights on marketing non-alcoholic beverages and Wilderton's exciting plans for the future.
Whether you’re sober curious, living an alcohol-free life, or just looking for new drink options, this episode offers a refreshing perspective on enjoying sophisticated flavors without the buzz.
