They have soooo many types and flavors of moonshine it's insane. My favorite spirits were the "Charred in a jar" series. They put a toasted oak stave inside of each jar so the spirits continue to age naturally. I bought a couple bottles of the Apple Butter flavor and put them in my garage so I'd get huge temp changes, it's already gotten better in six months. I need to buy more and age them like that for a few years. When I was there they were having a private event and everyone was dressed from the roaring 20's which was really cool to see. I will be back!

The atmosphere is fantastic and really adds to the overall vibe. I ordered an Old Fashioned, which was excellent--personally, I'd go with just a touch less simple syrup next time to make it perfect. My wife chose the Bloody Mary, and it was unlike any we've had before in a great way. We both really enjoyed our drinks. We also tried a single barrel flight, which definitely lived up to expectations. If you're a bourbon lover, this place is well worth a visit--you really can't beat the experience.

The issue I have was I'm only in town for a short period of time, the only time I got to swing by was around lunch time or late in the evening. With the hours of operation only being 4:30pm to 8:00pm I was unable to get in to make any purchases directly from the manufacture and I would have love to take a tour.

The distillery was easy to find - outside of town, very close to the airport. Plenty of parking, and very attractive grounds. Inside, thrilled to find a huge selection of merchandise, friendly staff, and a tasting bar. Tasting portion (which does have a fee) is a very generous pour, so feel free to split between two people. You can always order a cocktail or pour of what you like. I learned about the label protocol and mash bills, and left with a few bottles, stickers, cards, maple syrup and manhattan cocktail concentrate. Oh, and huge smile on my face.

If I had to guess based on the spirits I tasted I would have to say that they are a relatively new distillery with nothing aged 10 years yet. The younger spirits did taste hopeful.

While poking around West Virginia I kept looking for some of the boys from "Moonshiners"... Was hoping to randomly run-in-to... Maybe in Elkins...

About 15-minutes later rolled up, (no banjos - so we're good), greeted by a very friendly dog... Had some samples, really nice stuff... Picked up a few bottles.

We saw the signs off Interstate 79 and just got lucky as we got there 1/2 before closing on Mother's Day Sunday! The owner let my wife feed the baby wild Turkey's while I was taste testing with his son. The facility was way cool and modern for being out in the middle of nowhere. Also note to mention this is an 11 mile ride off of interstate 79 thru farm land with narrow roads so if your use to city driving be careful. I'm not a Vodka drinker so I was down to tasting the Moonshine and whiskies. I'm not a Red Bull drinker so the cinnamon whiskey was out for me. The moonshine is truly amazing on what I imagined moonshine should taste like. One of the other things that made me wonder after I left was the bottles were pretty heavy duty which probably is why the prices were a bit steep. I would like to see something a little more gimmicky like a Watermelon, Peach, pineapple or mango moonshine in a 1/2 gallon mason jar or hill Billy Jug.
