HI ya'll
yes I'm the other half of this team. I have an equally diverse and bizarre set of Qualifications: Degree in Biology, 5 years as a nurse in renal critical care (and yes I can diagnose some diseases by smell), A couple of years doing graphic design for the Bell South Yellow Pages and a couple theater and musical groups. Currently I am a costume designer for the local theater.
So what about any of this qualifies me to start a distillery?
not really sure. A lifelong passion for sensory experience, A gourmet cook for a grandmother, A wall of cook books, and the ability to combine tastes without actually doing it? my dreams have scents and flavors. And I can formulate flavors for someone else, and include flavors I don't like. (the aforementioned ridiculously sensitive nose. It's like perfect pitch not always a good thing).
oh and the other qualification... a strong head for Alcohol.
