[Whiskey Tribe] The new still is working

Okay you bastards, the new still is working. Kevin from ABE Beverage Equipment flew down to show our team how to run this monster. It's so much bigger than the old one, which looks kind of like a toy now. Also, the new still is complicated. Kevin has been here for three days.

Emma and Daniel have a lot to learn.

But I can tell you that RIGHT NOW, while I'm writing this, the still is running. We're pushing some vodka through as a test. Then we're gonna do a big ole bourbon run.

Can you imagine all the fun and fascinating things the Crowded Barrel team is going to be able to do with this thing? It boggles the mind. We'll just have to see what they come up with. So much whiskey and fun ahead for us all.

As always, I took some photos so you can see for yourself.
