A Colorado whiskey distillery is using a unique process to bottle its booze. Volunteers.

At Stranahan's Whiskey, there is no bottling machine. Instead, the business brings in volunteers to do all the work.

With the sounds of Johnny Cash pumping, the crew on the assembly line gets about 5,000 bottles of whiskey filled a day.

The volunteer work is so popular there are 900 people on a waiting list. Crew members are randomly chosen with each volunteer getting to go home with a bottle of whiskey.

Michigan is one of 30 states where you can buy Stranahan's Whiskey.
