Show Notes:
- Kyle, You haven’t been back on the show since episode 13 back in May of 2015. Before we dive into what’s new, talk about you again for a moment.
- How you came up in the ranks, became a part of the family lineage, etc?
- You’re also not a newbie to the bourbon scene. I know you have quite a collection so talk about that too.
- How has your role changed now that this distillery is up and running?
- Now that you have your own distillery, could we see an Angel's Envy Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey?
- That’s no where near the amount needed for sustaining supply of your product so sourcing is still a big means. Is there a future plan to cut off sourcing?
- What has it taken for you to get up to speed to now understand distillation as well as outgrowing the co-packer?
- Did you all have input on the design of your stills?
- Talk about on-boarding and finding the right people
- Talk about clocking barrels real quick
- What was the benefit of the Bacardi buy out?
- How many barrels are you pumping out a day?
- That’s no where near the amount needed for sustaining supply of your product so sourcing is still a big means. Is there a future plan to cut off sourcing?
