So you’re thinking about taking up the hobby of distilling your own liquor. Specifically, you want to make whiskey – maybe a lot of whiskey. You start scouring the internet for recipes and information. Some of it’s good, some of it’s not helpful at all, but I can tell you this. Eventually, you will find Rosie O’Kelly.

Who is Rosie O’Kelly? Well, from what I’ve found online, she is a YouTube personality in her late 50’s with about 12k followers that enjoys a variety of hobbies. One of those hobbies is making tons of whiskey, specifically while wearing bikinis. It doesn’t take long to realize that Rosie hasn’t always been a ‘Rosie’ and she has videos that deal with her lifestyle. All that aside, she really knows her shit when it comes to cranking out massive amounts of whiskey, and that was my main reason for exploring more of her videos.

There is something about learning how to make whiskey from a tranny that just seems appropriate. Like one of the components to a ‘story of my life’ tale…

“It was shortly thereafter that I met Rosie, a transgendered dynamo, 20 years my senior, who took me under her wing and shared her passion for making whiskey with me…  I was never quite the same after that summer… Nowadays, when I hear the clatter of rocks in a glass of my homemade single malt, I can’t help but remember the gift she gave me..  I look down and see the light dancing off the spirit, the same way it danced off the sequins of her favorite outfit. I owe her a debt of gratitude. Rosie, I raise my glass….  for you my dear.”  

Her videos are insanely informative, but very distracting at the same time. Some of her outfits can really get in the way of the lesson!  All in all, her attitude and information is great, and you will not find another distilling instructor like this anywhere. So while you sift through the internet for recipes, do not judge a book by its cover – Rosie has a wealth of knowledge, and is not to be looked over!  Check Rosie’s videos out: Click Here
