In our expeditions to harvest the wild ingredients of Alaska, it's hard NOT to be around wild animals! There's always the treat of seeing a moose, a bear, an eagle. Also, we have my dog, Hooch, the trusty distillery dog and Cache, our caribou antler gathering dog! He's a very unique dog that has been trained to sniff out and find already-shed caribou antlers.

I support it as long there are safeguards in place to protect the environment. There's a reason we live here: for the beauty of this land!

We cannot see Russia from our house!

We got involved with Animal Planet because Matador Productions approached us after they read an article done about the distillery, our master distiller, Scott, and our use of glacial ice. After much debate, we decided to move forward with the show and share our experiences with the world!

We just take a small, small taste of what we're working on, let it sit on then tongue, then spit it out. If we didn't do it that way, it would be drunken debauchery all day long!

Obviously we don't promote animals drinking our booze, but now and again Hooch the distillery dog will sneak something that's been spilled on the floor!
