DISTILLING PURE ADVENTURE...
BIG BESSIE
Our Still House is a 40 ft shipping container. The interior was completely lined with recycled poplar wood boards, that were hand milled to make paneling. The "piece de resistance" is our 250 Gallon Copper Pot Still handcrafted in the USA. This building is where at the magic happens!! Our unique destination honors the history of Virginia homesteaders, old style craft style distilling and adding the modern day shipping containers for the industrial feel, mixing old and new styles and materials to achieve a building that honors both history and modernity.
Here are a few more fun facts from the Virginia Distillers Association about Virginia’s history with whiskey: In the 1700s, Scottish and Irish immigrants brought their recipes to Virginia for “uisce beatha,” Gaelic for “water of life.” The settlers made their whiskey without aging it. The recipe remains the same for traditional Appalachian whiskey. Bourbon County, Kentucky was formerly a part of Virginia until the Louisiana Purchase in the 1780s. George Washington was not only a gentleman farmer, but he also owned and operated the country’s largest rye whiskey distillery at Mount Vernon in the late 1790s.
