It has taken almost 18 months from our commitment until finally this week, we sent our first delivery to the State Liquor Warehouse in Helena, MT., sold our first bottles of Silvertip Gin and made our first deposit into the Ridge Distillery bank account.
This is not for the faint of heart. Tenacity (or hard-headedness) is simply a requirement. It hasn't been especially difficult but it has been arduous from the beginning. I feel like I have earned another Master's degree.
There are at least three members of ADI that have been of tremendous help and the Forum itself has provided numerous links, clues, hints and advice that have been invaluable.
We are still rookies at Ridge Distillery but we have survived the first gauntlet and we're still standing. Thanks, ADI and the membership. Your help has been greatly appreciated.
Santé,
Joe
