Artisans at work
Our Master Distiller’s multigenerational Appalachian moonshining legacy and formal education in chemistry provide a foundation for his truly inspired artisanal approach. That foundation, however, is just a base. Passion feeds every step of the moonshining process as he tirelessly invents and applies new touches to proudly develop truly tasteful products.
As a family, your feedback and ideas influence our flavors. Our Tasting Room is our family cabin in the woods, with a window to distilling tradition. Through the glass wall, you see our process at work, and in the tasting room, you may influence it directly with your feedback.
New Local Flavor Development
We constantly experiment with new ideas to offer special products. The process often starts with brainstorming, or with spontaneous ideas (like when someone tastes a delicious desert and we try to incorporate it). It may then involve a small batch run on our mini-still, followed by a tasting among family and friends or in our tasting room. Then, promising products are repeatedly refined to create something great. At any stage, the product is likely to be cut, soonly few rare products ever end up bottled.
We hope that you will become part of this process with us. Please share, if you have curiosity about a potential flavor or an idea for refinement of our current flavors. We want this to be your product. Help us come up with it and improve it, and watch as we make it.
We are connected as a community.
Artisanal tools
Our press first operated more than forty years ago. Originally used to press grapes in
artisanal winemaking, it is now used to press whatever we may need (coming soon; Burberry).
Beulah, our Still is a technologically modern tool that works in traditional fashion while allowing us complete control over temperature to ensure consistently delicious spirits. It is named after one of the recent matriarchs of the traditional process we employ.
