There ain’t a thing that I can do, That’s the difference between whisky and you

Jim Beam Old Storehouse
Jim Beam, Clermont KY

A few years back on a trip to the USA, I got to visit behind the scenes at the Jim Beam distillery at Clermont, Kentucky taking stills (pun intended) during a video shoot.  Our host was the delightful and infinitely patient Jim Beam Noe, distillery manager.  In a temperature of 37°C and in an environment with a delightful overpowering aroma of whiskey (bourbon…) it’s as well I had the camera to remind me of the whole visit.
And we got to taste some.  Definitely one of my favourite shoots.

Kit:  Olympus E450 DSLR (the old 4/3 one) and 14-42 kit lens. Silver Efex Pro.

Some of the folk at JB.
