Quick hello and a thanks the forum, I have already learned a lot. No real plans yet just doing some research to determine if my idea to make whiskey is good or a midlife crisis. Beyond that I am just trying to figure out how to fill the gaps. I have an engineering and manufacturing background and am sure I can make a good product after some hard work but the afore mentioned engineering background means I lack social skills and business and marketing know how. Need to start reading here more, touring a few more distilleries ( been to Stranahan's and Albany Distilling so far), start running some financial numbers, and practicing as much as I can legally ( homebrew beer, etc). Willing to listen to any advice anyone has.
