Heads up. We’re about to do a BOTTLE SHIPPING experiment. In the near future, MB’s from 35 states will be able to have our new bottles delivered directly to their homes. So what is the first nationally launched spirit from the Crowded Barrel WHISKEY Company going to be?

Vodka.

Weird, I know.

Why vodka? Because it’s a bajillion times easier to replace a vodka if something goes wrong in our shipping experiment. It’s nice vodka though. Made in Texas, “smooth”, a good price, blah blah blah. It’s just not whiskey. (soon, MB… soon.)

I’ll have more details for you when we get closer to a release date. Hopefully this shipping experiment with our Silly Goose vodka will lay the groundwork for pipelines of future whiskey.

As far as whiskey updates go, your new still is being loaded onto a delivery truck as it roars to life and aims towards Texas.

[+] Australian whisky: Local whiskies booming under COVID-19 restrictions
Since September last year, Australian-made whiskies are even commanding their own shelf or "bin" space at certain Dan Murphy's outlets. NSW and Victoria labels share space with those from Tasmania, "the whisky state", which has garnered the most international awards and recognition for labels such as Sullivans Cove.
