Painting the ship & a Spiced Rum Review

The first week of good weather was the perfect time to repaint the entire distillery. It also gave us the chance to paint the ship and wave onto the building.

We initially thought about projecting the image on and tracing the outline, but Collin our distiller decided to go for it, freehand. The outline was first done in chalk.

It took 6 hours in total, but the result speaks for itself. We may have to paint it again on the otherside!
