Was fortunate enough to meet up with one of the Gibb brothers today...
Nice man! Easy in and out. Great to do business with these guys and come away with such fine craftsmanship. The ten gallon barrel will be filled with a rum I've been working on and set for a year or so. No char just a medium toast. The five gallon, medium toast and charred will wait for a chance to run & fill with NChooch's Bourbon, a great recipe and perfect for a barrel like this!
Nice!!! And to think that folks from Arkansas are jes a bunch of hillbillies... made in Arkansas, by Arkansans, more n likely from white oak from My mountains... Amen...

Soon enough... I'm still using a pot still but I'm gathering copper as I go about my business. I hope soon a flute will sprout forth. I had to get this out of the way first though. I would have much more liked to buy my 4" pipe but we have to consider priorities eh. I wonder if they'll fit under my tree when I get home.
