[Whiskey Tribe] So it begins...

So it begins.

The old workshop is being emptied in preparation for Crowded Barrel’s distillery expansion - and not a moment too soon.

This morning, Daniel poked our new still maker for updates and timelines.

As I left the property, Deb’s truck was pulling in with a huge tote full of wash - soon to be reborn as the Whiskey Tribe’s Single Malt of Magnificence. (Single M.O.M.)

The MB’s in patreon recently voted up Crowded Barrel’s first gin.

By the time you read this, 15 barrels of bourbon and wheat whiskey will be tucked into their new Texas home. Just a couple of the spirits that will eventually blend into our biggest bottling to date.

As 2020 winds down, it feels like everything is getting locked and loaded. Methinks next year may be a bit... noisy.

Here’s to the pregnant pause.
