Stopped by while in town for the Eclipse. I was the only one there so got to spend a lot of time talking to one of the owners. She was very knowledgeable and answered all my questions. She pointed out that they use as much local stuff as they can and NO GMO stuff. It was a small area to tour but they have big plans.
The site was clean and organized. It was neat seeing all the stages of the process and learn a little bit of why they feel they are good and unique. After chatting we went in the tasting room. There were some cubbies with product to purchase but first we talked about all the different whiskies and bourbon. I'll save the tale of why they don't call the product moonshine for when you go by and ask. ;-)
I enjoyed all the samples though some were just not for me. I appreciated learning about how each came about and how the formulas were tweaked to what they are today. I came away with a few bottles and a promise to her that I will be back the next time I am in Carbondale. read more
