Our Barrel

I know we have been missing in action the past few weeks however, I have been busy learning how to become a part-time instructor with the University of Phoenix Online. In the coming weeks I should be working on my mentorship and hopefully soon after I'll officially be a faculty member!

In the meantime, last week we celebrated Shane's birthday and this past weekend visited the G-Crew in Quincy! So we've been enjoying fun stuff too!!!

A few weeks ago we received our notification from Makers Mark that our barrel has been filled and is now resting in the stackhouse! Last year during our anniversary trip we became Makers Mark Ambassadors and our names were added to a barrel. Our letter and the picture of our barrel are a component of being an ambassador. Once our barrel has been aged appropriately we'll receive notice that it's time to come pick up our finished bottles of Makers Mark (about 10 - 12 years). A little cheesy... perhaps. However, it's a lot of fun too watching our bourbon age!!
