Spent the weekend in Culpepper Va with my wife's brother and sister.
While making plans on what to do, my BIL, (who lives there) kept bringing up the fact that there is a distillery in town that offers tastings.
As it turns out, this is one of the distilleries that is featured in the TV show "Moonshiners". I have to admit that I do watch this show.
We were greeted by Chuck Miller (The guy in the cowboy hat in pic 1, perhaps he will look familiar if you watch the show) who showed us around. The place is very small and about as "back woods" as you can get. There wasn't a straight or untarnished pipe anywhere and just about everything was made of old copper. The distillery just had the look of something that was slapped together.
The stuff they made, though, was amazingly smooth and tasty. I never had corn whiskey before and was really taken aback. I ended up getting a bottle of their butterscotch and two bottles of there barrel aged whiskey.
Once back at my BIL's, we lit his fire pit, killed a bottle of the good stuff (there were 6 of us), and made S'mores.
All in all a great day.
