What’s the best feeling in the world? Could it be the birth of a child? An amazing bottle to share with some friends? Or could it be the day you get a phone call from an express delivery person telling you THE WHISKY HAS LANDED? The first bottle released from the soon to be whisky distillery that absolutely everyone is talking about! Well, this article is actually going to about all of these!
The arrival of The Founders’ Casks – Expression One Madeira, has been a story of a long overseas voyage that luckily didn’t involve icebergs or pirates. Despite being a mundane journey (and the fact that it did take a frustratingly long time waiting in the queue to board a shipping container to arrive here in China) all of our investor, ambassador and whisky WeChat groups have been popping with pictures as excited recipients tore open the packaging, proudly positioned their bottle, and snapped a photo to share.
With no shame in showing chewed finger nails, ghastly curtains, gnarly placemats and coasters, dirty spoons, floors so dirty that even the mop and bucket went on strike, a lack of understanding the word focus, and composition in the context of taking photographs, and showing the world how old some people’s smartphone are – it’s been a complete frenzy of humble brags for those lucky enough to get some of our bottles.
One of our bottles even made it to the live birth of the second Nine Rivers Distillery baby. Both mother and father are investors in our project and father “wet the baby’s head” with a bottle of Expression 1. We’ve forgiven him for the blasphemy of paper cups…but we will never let him live it down. The Whisky Has Landed
One of the most exciting things about The Founders’ Casks was the inclusion of the names of everyone that was involved in our project when we originally designed the packaging. Bragging rights aplenty for all those named. The Whisky Has Landed
Sure, we now have more than double the amount of people involved, but they will all be listed on the next bottling that we do. But we can’t say anymore about that right now. It’s all top secret so shhhhhhhh.
Today, we are celebrating with a collage of photos before ending with a reminder about an upcoming exciting event to a Chinese city near you. While it is too late to get your hands on this bottle, Expression 2 is currently taking reservations and you have a chance to tell us why you think you deserve a bottle. CLICK HERE for more about that – the reservation form is near the bottom of the page. The Whisky Has Landed
Nationwide Flight of the 6 Expressions
If you are located in China, like most of us are, then you will be pleased to know that we will be hosting a Nationwide flight of the 6 expressions.
As a tribute to the very roots of our project, Whisky Networking Events across China, in all of the cities that have been supporting Nine Rivers Distillery, will be collaborating to launch a synchronous tasting. We will be covering this in a future post. The Whisky Has Landed
