That's exactly what happened at Lonely Oak Distillery.
What started as a mix-up during the still-building process resulted in a unique combination of stainless steel and copper that wasn't exactly what was ordered... but turned out to be a happy accident.
The story behind how their still came to be is funny, unexpected, and a great reminder that innovation sometimes comes from embracing the unexpected.
