Priced according to resort town rules; get their money as fast as possible. Had two free tastings to confirm what I wanted. Bought 6-yr bourbon and various flavored moonshine. Prices were about 10% above rural distillery prices.
Located at the Island. Free parking for the Island businesses, but a hike. Free shuttle runs between Island and parking lot. NICE.
Baby we had a time!!!
The tasting was good and fun. Would do it again! Also 12 tastings for $8 was a good deal too!
I wish I could have had every shirt in there. The designs were so interesting. Really wish I grabbed more moonshine too!
