This was an amazing tour of a large scale distillery. We loved every aspect of the tour and the spirits were fantastic.
This is a unique distillery in the area. The site has lots of history. The mix of old buildings and restored ones is a great mix! And it was the only open air distillation that we saw, which was really cool to see. Highly recommended if your in the area!
Must see distillery. Grounds, narrative and tasting extremely well integrated.
