  1. Big B, Contact Haresh, the owner of Destilería Andina in Ollayantambo, Peru. He has a couple of the bigger stills from them. I was lucky enough to work with him in 2018. Those stills are beasts! He is on these forums but FB works also. Tell him Matt gave you the contact info. Matt Bryant
  2. Hello Darby, Unfortunately, we are not able to attend this year. With winter coming to a close, any extra time we have will be needed at the location. We plan on it next year. Are you from Idaho? Or have family here? When you happen to find yourself in southern Idaho please feel free to contact us. Thanks, Matt
  3. Hey Teton, Check out Bogus Brewing in Boise. http://www.bogusbrewing.com/ownership/ The owner (Collin) is very nice to chat with and would probably give you all the pro's and con's of his IPO. He gained a ton of support and is almost out of shares. Tell him Matt Bryant sent you. Thanks, Matt Archangel Spirits Boise County, ID
  4. Thank you for the well wishes. The distant family were by no means commercial, everything was made for personal use, trade and for neighbors. From researching the stacks of diaries and stories my grandmother and great uncle kept, the best I can come up with is a Madeira wine that made. We are having a hard time finding out which variety of grape was brought overland, but Portugal has shown up in the diaries. On top of that, grandmother told me of a time my uncle was fortifying his wines with an old Still. The cooling coil is all that remains, he sold the rest to a neighbor (such a bummer). We do have a few bottles in the cellar that look to have separated, is there a way to test for the variety of grapes used? Or even to be able to pull a yeast sample? However the research plays out, the history prior to our Distillery will make for a great tale. Matt
  5. Hello, Archangel Spirits will be a Distillery set in the mountains above Boise, ID. We have a 500 acre property that has been in my family since 1892 and we plan to bring it back to a working ranch. Unfortunately with the terrain we wont be able to grow the main ingredients needed for our products but most can be found within 100 miles. We will however, be able to bring back the orchards and the hearty grapes that used to be grown back in the early 1900's. Currently, we are working on the infrastructure needed for the "ground-up" build-out. We are not on any city utilities and will be doing as much as possible with our own hands and friends within the county. Also, we are building our own stills and electric heating systems. We look forward to making friends with the folks on this forum and adding to the list of friends here in Idaho. Thanks, Matt Archangel Spirits Boise County, ID
