In 2019, several blog posts were published that discuss fishing on the Blackfoot River, fishing seasons, and other local topics.

Raw materials and production
The company produces bourbon and mentions in various posts bottle types, bottlings and handling of empty bourbon barrels. Product pages and blog posts refer to the use of bourbon barrels in relation to aging. There are no details about grain composition, fermentation times, distillation technique, or the number and type of pot stills in the texts shown.
Maturation and barrel types
The text describes the overall use of bourbon barrels in the aging process and mentions an adjacent handling need for empty bourbon barrels. There are examples of handling and selling empty barrels, but the origin of the oak, new-oak programs, or detailed finish processes are not specified in the displayed pages.
