060 - Staring Down The Barrel - Daufuskie Distillery

What Daufuskie?  

That’s what we all said when Kratt got pulled away for a company dinner last minute and couldn’t join us tonight.  So Alton picked up Kratt's role and gave Kurt are hard time. We learned a lot in this eposide about starting businesses, ladders and frat houses, stealing second and living on an island, this is one worth a listen.

Everybody, meet Tony.  What started as a conversation about what retirement looks like with his wife led to a beach house on a remote island off the shore of SC and, oh yeah…a distillery.

And if you don’t know about Daufuskie (pronounce Dah-fuss-key) you need to.  This little remote island has so much to offer and only accessible via ferry.  But don’t be fooled, while remote, it’s an amazing place.  

Tony takes us through his journey from chemist to CEO to producing rum to now producing what we think is some pretty damn good bourbon.  Ever hear of Breakfast Bourbon – well it’s a real thing at 80 proof.  From there we tried the Daufuskie Three Year Straight Bourbon at 92 proof and lastly and amazing 117.8 proof Single Barrel Cask Strength.

Great stories to be heard from days gone by, Tony takes us back to where it all started for him and how he came to the great place of Daufuskie.  So join us for the journey and listen in.
