Three things.
First up, a thick and meaty THANK YOU to all the Magnificent Bastards who grabbed the 2 latest Crowded Barrel releases in record time. We were sold out in an hour-ish, which helped put our bartenders on more-solid footing while the tasting room remains closed.
Next, for everyone that didn’t get a chance to grab those whiskeys - we know that it’s frustrating. Regardless of the current situation, we’re still committed to ramping up Crowded Barrel’s output with a bigger still and upgraded equipment. The headwinds may be strong, but the Tribe has already stepped up - and we’re following your lead.
As long as our people are taken care of, we see no reason to stop moving forward. We’ll be communicating and working with suppliers as quickly (and responsibly) as we can. The progress may move slower than we’d like - but it’s moving nonetheless.
Finally, Rex and Daniel were building the Remembrance earlier this week. The first round of flags are in place, and the corresponding Whiskey Tribe episode will be released on YouTube in a little more than a week. To those unfamiliar, the Remembrance will be a dedicated section of the Crowded Barrel’s tallest exterior wall. It will feature handwritten names of the Tribe’s loved ones that are no longer with us - as well as major milestones in our lives.
Basically, it’s a place to honor the people that loved us, as well as the moments that made us. More details to come once the episode releases.
Forever forward, MB.
~ The Magnificent Bastard
