Continued Movement Forward

Well,  my divorce is in progress.   I see that I'm in it thick.

The distillery that might be interested in producing a certified organic whiskey was reluctantly surprised when they couldn't simply fluff me off.

I initially offered to pay the price of getting certified and the extra cost of certified organic ingredients.  Certification with the Texas Department of Agriculture costs a minimum of  $2,350.00.

What's the cost of certified organic ingredients?  How large is a batch run at the distillery?

I know that they can run a maximum of 500 gallons in the still at once.  They don't like to do that large a batch at once so the prefer to do a maximum of 400 gallons.  However, they can step down how much whiskey or vodka they make to almost any lower amount they would like.

That doesn't give me a price. 

The lady with the distillery apologized but they couldn't run a batch because it would take away from current production there's also labelling involved. So, thank you and goodbye...

But, wait.  How much does a single batch cost, including labelling?

Try  $24,000.00.

Okay.  I've got it.  That's a good starting floor cost.

Huh,  Well, let's run some numbers and we can get back to you.

Okay.

I'll give them seven days for a response.

Approaching a goal makes me worry. 

Do whiskey drinkers even care if they have certified organic whiskey?  I know that I do.  Everything consumed by people or animals should be as healthy, wholesome, and pure as possible,  even something as bad for your body as whiskey.
