Yes, there have been delays, but these are not resource short delays. A big part was the local government. Take Arizona..if someone want to open a distillery here, they would have to get the law changed. While distillation was not illegal, it was a challenge. The other problem with real oke production is the Ti.

There was not enough sustainable Ti for continuous distillation, initially, and that is being resolved by paying farmers to produce more distillates.

After I get my samples and I taste what it will be..I will give an earnest thumbs up or down. By the way, I love your music show. Listen to it every night.
