Hey, what's up guys? It's Mark Taylor here, and I don't know if y'all know this, but I have my own bourbon. It's called Steel String Signature. It's really good, I promise. But I wanted to share with y'all a little bit of how we got there. So this was the first ever little prototype we did. It was called Six Strings back in the day originally, but I'd get these in the mail and have to try them. And then we eventually moved to this first prototype bottle here, and I don't think this one ever made it to stores, but that's the first prototype here. Then we went to, uh, the little minis right here. And then all the way to the first ever production bottle of Steel String right here. But all the way from this to this, go check it out at Total Wine across the country.
