I'm still waiting on my mountaineer moonshine. At this point we might as well bring back Gorton's Yosef and sell cans of sardines in block A cans.
We are in need of someone to take over the maintenance of the MMB. Yosef has done it for a long time, and we are grateful for all he has done, but life happens and he no longer has the time to devote to its upkeep. If anyone here is interested in helping to keep the board running, please let me know via DM.

Re: Furman Bourbon
Ironclad's stuff is actually pretty decent...didn't really know they had the operating surplus to begin outsourcing branded products like this away from their own in-house products they're trying to push, but alas, I guess FU threw some $$$ at them. Perhaps they are using some sourced barrels for the FU line? Either way, as a bourbon aficionado I'd certainly give it a shot, but I wouldn't tell anyone I liked it, even if it is above a 5/6. Can't imagine it's great having tried the Ironclad line, but anything above-serviceable would be better than pretty much anything we're turning out in North Carolina - save Weldon Mills. Kinda surprised they didn't prefer to partner with a SC distillery, but again, it was probably about $ and availability, which leads me to believe they might be using sourced barrels.

Re: Furman Bourbon
Or they had a real rot-gut batch that they needed to get rid of and figured a bunch of bratty private school kids would drink anything if it was marketed to them.HkyMtneer wrote: ↑Wed Apr 19, 2023 10:23 amIronclad's stuff is actually pretty decent...didn't really know they had the operating surplus to begin outsourcing branded products like this away from their own in-house products they're trying to push, but alas, I guess FU threw some $$$ at them.
