After sipping on three different barrels and doing a blind taste test, our barrel was picked. It was pretty funny, we were asked to kick out our least favorite barrel. Everyone of us picked the same. After the blind test, again we all picked the same barrel. This time it was for the keeper.

I highly recommend that you use a liquor store in SC since NC is all state owned. Call me if you have any questions about the process.

I remember the first one. To get a second is very impressive.
Good job. Enjoy.

Congrats on the new (well, aged) barrel Chad. Now that’s a stout concierge.

How was lunch at Miss Mary Bobo’s?

Chad, how many patches of ground do you now own at the distillery? Do you rise above “Squire” at some point? Knight perhaps?

Congrats and enjoy!

Noooo… We still have quite a few cases left. I had too many people want to go in on a barrel, so we went ahead and got one. I'm set for several years, but there is no doubt that we will buy another one down the road.
