How It All Started
As a child growing up, I was fortunate enough to have a father who enjoyed carpentry and therefore I was exposed to the trade. As I grew older, I took those memories and put them into play! In 2017 I started a small home-based business call "Keith's Rustic Designs" where I focused on handcrafting things such as home décor, trophies, taxidermy mounts, and small business signs from rustic barn wood.
In 2022, my business took a turn into the cocktail smokers’ arena all because of a close friend who ask me to make a cocktail smoker for him. To this, I owe all my future successes to him...thank you Ryan!
After making Ryan his smoker, I found a niche in the cocktail smoker market where there lacked a custom and personalized touch to smoking cocktails. Being an avid whiskey drinker myself, I fell in love with smoking my whiskies, but there was something missing! What was missing was the presentation of smoking a whiskey, the wood chip flavor selection, the torching, the sight of flames and sparks and most importantly...the aroma and taste!
So, I created a customizable kit that reflects who you are and more importantly includes everything you needed to see, hear, smell, and taste the full experience of smoking a whiskey!
And the rest is history!
