Scott has extensive experience launching brands in Idaho and has been very successful growing them. Scott is also well-versed in bourbon, and hehas been to Kentucky for Bourbon Fest.

In 2019, Rachelle helped clarify some of Idaho's liquor sampling laws to the public, while working with the Idaho State Liquor Division and the Alcohol Beverage Control, to benefit all liquor brands in the state.
