   Read moreThis was an unexpected find! Riding through on motorcycles and the guys wanted to check out a few distilleries in the area. I'm more of a bourbon drinker and am generally not too big of a fan of the "moonshine" type distilleries that just add sweetened flavors to cheap spirits and bottle it and price it like it is something special (e.g. Ole Smoky).

I highly recommend this place if passing...
