Which it very well might. If we're lucky. Daniel and Rex have decided they can build a covering for the new boiler THEMSELVES. Contractors not showing up or doing a good job? Screw it, we'll just build it ourselves. We will. Daniel and Rex. How hard can it be? Everyone gave that a BIG thumbs up.
Imagine what the distillery staff meeting was like on Tuesday.
The Bastard's Ball will soon be upon us, and whiskey lovers from around the world will gather on our campus. So yeah, there was talk about that. Boring logistic talk, but talk.
At the same time, Emma and John are bottling a single barrel Eleanor. I know I'm going to be at the front of the line to try it. That was interesting, exciting news.
While we were processing all of that, Rex and Daniel started talking about possibly dropping a barrel out of a helicopter? Or maybe from a forklift down into the valley?
I don't know why. These people do weird shit like that. I've been living on campus for a few months now, and it still surprises me.
Oh, the BIG news. This is so choice....

Everyone gave that a BIG thumbs up. As soon as they left, I started a secret betting pool. Five bucks and you choose one of the four:
Will they do a good job?
An okay job?
A fail?
An epic fail?
Only time will tell.
I'll be there with a camera, so they aren't going to be able to hide if this thing goes south. Which it very well might. If we're lucky.
Have a great one, bastards. I hope to meet plenty of you in October.
P.S. The lads recently hosted a livestream with the head distiller of Bruichladdich, and the director of The Water of Life: A Whisky Film. Good times! A DISCOUNT CODE to view the documentary was slipped into the livestream, but in case you missed it - this code should still work until labor day… allegedly. https://wateroflifefilm.com/partners/tribe/

THE VAULT OF TRIBES

In this video, Rex and Daniel talk about The Whiskey Tribe - a big, salty and ridiculous community of whisk(e)y loving MB's. They've raised a whiskey freak-flag...

[+] Jack Daniel's Launches First Aged-Stated Whiskey in Over 100 Years
Fletcher evolved the distillery’s previous aged methods by maturing Jack Daniel’s iconic Old No. 7 Tennessee Whiskey in oak barrels that were relocated throughout the barrelhouse to extend the aging process over the past ten years.
[+] Where Does Whiskey Get Its Flavour?
Identifying the notes in a tumbler of whiskey is not the same as knowing why it tastes that way in the first place. In partnership with Woodford Reserve, we investigate the source of whiskey’s flavour.
