Whiskeybite Workshop

07/13/2026

I'm excited to announce that, this year... Whiskeybite Workshop will have a booth at Hillbilly Jam for the very first time. 🤩

That’s a pretty big deal for me, and I’ve had a lot of good people help me get this far.

Huge thanks to Tracy Bumgarner, Kris Fortner, and the whole Flaming Aces Distillery crew, along with John Bentz and Firehouse Shine Co, for helping test and promote the Barrel Stave Cocktail Smoker Kits, and another product that hasn’t quite been released yet. 😉

Thanks to Brandon Buffington for taking one of my Barrel Stave whistles out in the wild and actually putting it to use while hiking.

Thanks to Kenny Taylor and Bill Foster for helping me test some of the infusion and rapid aging experiments.

Thanks to my beautiful wife Shana, also known as Miss Kara Loveheart, my brother (Big Beard), and my parents over at Heartwood Designs TN, who some of you may know from the Underground Contest trophies they’ve made the last two years.

And thanks to everybody who’s enjoyed one of my Barrel Stave pipes.

I won’t name names. 😏

I’m really excited for Hillbilly Jam this year, and I can’t wait to set up, see everybody, and bring Whiskeybite Workshop out there for real. 🔥

Had a good time at Liberty Soulshine 's July 4th jar release over at Drop Zone Distilling !! 😄

Got to bring Brad a few things from the shop to try out, and got to talk through some of the Whiskeybite stuff with Kenny Taylor and Bill Foster while we were there.

Kenny also surprised me with this awesome Whiskeybite Workshop sign that he made, and the autism puzzle pattern in the background means a lot to Shana and I because our son is autistic.

That one’s definitely going up somewhere special.

Really appreciate everybody taking the time to look at what I’ve been working on.

Good people, good day, and a whole lot of support. 🔥

You can check out the full event post over on the Big Beard & Still Will page!
