Like motorcycling, Alfonse got a late start with the spirits-based lifestyle. Similarly, the learning curve for both riding a motorcycle and drinking adult beverages was rocky at first, but smoothed out over time.
Having grown into a long-distance rider and journalist in the motorcycle industry, Alfonse has been focused on the journey over the destination in the last twenty years. Through numerous careers as an artist, to programming, to photography, his path was wide and colorful.
A parallel journey through the world of libations happened during that time; grain to vodka, Irish whiskey to rum, wine to craft beer… and back again to whiskey, but without the ‘e’. The “good stuff” is now on his radar, and acting as co-producer to Water of Life, Alfonse merges his many talents into one. His mysterious blend of artistry and machinery, help to propel the WOL brand from concept to celluloid.
