A day in photos- whiskies and welding

Filed under Personal Photography · 2 minute read

I’ve been a bit heady and word-heavy in my recent posts here, so let’s have some visual fun once again and stop thinkin so hard…

Editor: That’s one.

As I noted over on the 3 Drunken Celt’s blog yesterday, Jean and I had opportunity to once again help out our friends at Big Bottom Whiskey and bottle up some of the batch 3 port finish and new Wild Bill warehouse series.

I took advantage of a break between bottlings when Ted had to re-calibrate the filler for both different bottles as well as a different proof dram. Luckily for me it took Ted longer than he’d hoped,which allowed me a decent amount of time to snap off a ton of shots around the warehouse and tasting room. I posted a number of those to the 3DC blog reference above, but I’ll also add them here, along with a few others I’m quite proud of. Once the bottling was done, I helped Ted and another friend Aaron build a base for one of Ted’s new tanks. Since I’m not a master welder, I stepped back as Aaron got to work and continued snapping off some pictures. I gotta say, I’m actually quite pleased with some of the welding images I captured… I hope you enjoy them too!

Editor: That’s two.
