Blending for the PUPS program has been incredibly insightful. Micro-blending 3-5 barrels at a time and then putting that blend back into the very barrels they came from seems to add a lot of interesting nuance from barrel to barrel, instead of just letting the blend rest in totes until bottling. So much so that Kenny and Ryan have decided to start from scratch and standardize this process for all blends moving forward. Today, we talk about how that will fold into the production of the core products.

We hit on:

• The micro-blending process for PUPS


• What marrying the blends in the casks offers versus marrying in a tote


• Would this process have been feasible if you were still working out of BBC instead of your own facility?


• Presumably this will make a better product moving forward, but do you think it will be noticeable?


• Will this throw off the blend breakdown and balance we are used to in Pursuit United flagship?


• Does this change anything about inventory allotment for PUPS vs flagship blends?


• What do you think draws people to the PUPS program seemingly over the flagship?


• Is this a sustainable direction to take?
