If I lived in New Orleans, you can be damn sure I wouldn't be posting this. I'd be at the distillery this very minute.

Wow what a job...i say like you said...
Interesting. I saw that Chris has gone back to brewing beer at NOLA, which reunites him with his old Dixie cohort Peter Caddo.
i'm a home distiller with 5 years experience and i spent a week working with the guys at dry fly. i also grew up in Boutte, Louisiana. what are the benefits, and where do i sign?
Love your book also :-)
Tiare ~ Race you to it!
Todd ~ You are absolutely correct. Chris is no longer with Celebration, but has moved on to go back to his roots as a brewer with NOLA Brewing. That was just announced two days ago and I missed it.
Anonymous ~ This is what I meant by "it's no use asking me questions about the position." I wish I had the inside story to everything the position entailed, but if you're thinking about I moved back to Louisiana, you might want to you in touch with Parker at the e-mail address above.
And thanks for the kind words about the book. I was talking to a distiller a few months ago about something else entirely when he stopped me to tell me that he thought of the book as a "handrail in the dark” for making distilling seem like something that was even a possibility. It's humbling, even several years on, that people who presumably know what they're talking about still like that book. Cheers!
Sorry for the confusion, Matt. We had been advertising this position locally for the last 1.5 weeks and Chris left us on Tuesday. Thanks for posting this. All aplicants are welcome. Contact: parker@oldneworleansrum.com
interesting that this was posted before the actual date Chris left. Hmmmmmm
also wondering if you have found anyone close to replacing Chris. He is the best distiller there is and ONOR will NEVER be the same. How's the rum taste now?
