Talk about how the distillery began. What mistakes did you make early on that you’ve perfected How many different still do you have and do you do different spirits on each? Any wheated bourbon? Any interesting barrel finishes? Update on the new gift shop/distillery? Brian Harkless from twitter asks: i’ve seen two different colors of wax for BiB. he has white. i have a cool copper color. any differences?
