This weekend - just in time for the Eclipse- will be the product launch party for my first commercial whiskey!
I got a gig at a local distillery helping the head distiller and we've worked together incredibly well putting this whiskey together. We're both really proud of it!
I joined In 2010 after lurking for about 6months and learned everything I could. I read the parent site countless times and have tried to contribute anything i thought was worth while. I can't thank all the people who've replied to my questions over the years enough. Hopefully if anyone reading this makes it out for the launch they'll enjoy the whiskey as much and I've enjoyed this journey.

Re: My first Commercial Whiskey!!!
It's a small distillery in Rocheport, Mo. I really don't want to help big brother out too much but if you do a google search for key words like eclipse, whiskey, Rocheport, and Mo you shouldn't have any trouble figuring it out!

Re: My first Commercial Whiskey!!!
that'd be great going to work in the morning, working on other people's evenings.
My business of fire alarms and nurse call systems is constant emergencies.
I'd love for someone to tell me to add more yeast, or adjust the boiler heat.
Not diminishing your duties at all. But I'd have a fuckin blast at it.
