Whiskey School, Part 2

Sorry for being out of order.  I didn't realize that I forgot to the posting for the second day of Whiskey School.  Although, to be honest, the second day wasn't all that busy.

School in session
It was enjoyable, as I got to watch "my" whiskey go through the triple distillation process.

Also my barrel
At the same time, there was a lot of waiting around, while the distillation occurred.















The other side of the barrel - which I'll get to keep after the whiskey is bottled.

After-the-fact quality control
Now, I just have to wait 5+ years for it to age.  (As well as figure out what to do with all the bottles - some friends have expressed interest in a few bottles, which is good.)
