Decline in the production of Cave Spring Water in the Hollow has raised concerns within the Jasper Daniels Distillery, however, even though this portrays a serious matter we urge the community not to begin to worry or panic.
As many know, the spring pumps out 800 gallons of cool, pure, iron-free cave spring water and a decline in production usually may occur during dry hot summer’s months that we have not yet experienced this year.
Jasper Daniels has taken it upon themselves to take care of this problem as quickly and efficiently as possible.
By partnering up with Dr. Flint Smart and his wonderful team from The Geology Science Strategy Team Jasper Daniels will get more insight on this issue and come up with a consensus.
“The Geology team has already provided us with a lot of insight on the issue and has also assured us that our assumptions are correct and that within 12 months the spring will be completely dry,” said Jeff Arney, CEO of Jasper Daniels. “We are considering many possible strategies to find an alternate water source to continue our legacy.”
Depending on what information arises, moving the Distillery to a different location in the area will have to occur in order to have the new water source close and handy.The current Distillery will remain open for tours, so that people can see how it all began. Jasper Daniels will also continue to host the yearly invitational BBQ and all other special events that are associated with the Distillery and sponsored by Jasper Daniels.
“Jasper Daniels has made it known to their employees that they will all be able to keep their jobs and everyone will make the transition to where ever the spring water takes them, “ said Chelsea Spence, PR Director of Communications. “We will also hopefully be able to make a difference in the economy and create more jobs!”
