Distillery Baseball T-Shirts
Description: Another addition to my series of drinks still life paintings, this one based on the blues song of the same name. For the setup I chose a tumbler glass for the bourbon, a whisky glass for the Scotch and a classic stein glass for the beer, my preferences for drinking each of these. Unlike my previous Scotch paintings, this one was painted solely with Acrylics rather than Oils. The reason for this is firstly I've begun to use airbrush in most of my work now and I use acrylic paints for that, and secondly due to the drying time on these pieces it can usually take my a year or longer to eventually finish one, so I've begun focusing on acrylics for these now.

Description: **James C. Crow: Pioneer of Scientific Bourbon Making** James C. Crow, a Scottish chemist trained in Edinburgh in the 1820s, revolutionized bourbon production after arriving in Kentucky in 1835. At Grier’s, he applied scientific techniques—like pH monitoring and hydrometer use—to standardize the sour mash process. This innovation led to consistently high-quality whiskey. In 1838, he joined Oscar Pepper Spirits, where his creation “Old Crow” became the benchmark for bourbon. Though Crow died in 1856, his legacy endured through trained distillers who preserved his method.
