North Carolina - Harvest Host - Walton’s Distillery
Ron and I picked our first Distillery as a Harvest Host Stop.
Walton’s Distillery in Jacksonville NC
Disclaimer I have no real knowledge about Bourbon, Whiskey or Moonshine but my curious mind wants to keep learning.
Also this was not my first Distillery and tasting Tour as my friend Kim once took me to Balcones Distilling in Waco TX. There we sampled different Bourbon and I know how it felt very refined but the one version with Balcone Bourbon I truly fell in love with came from a coffee shop that sold Balcone IceCream on a waffle cone. Beyond Yummy. So I figured my German taste pallet that focuses mostly on beer, wine and Schnaps still had a chance.
So I picked this Harvest Host as it was on our Route South and when researching it I was beyond happy and intrigued when reading they make Moonshine there. This is what I am really excited about as I wanted to taste and see how it compares to our yummy German Sprites like Prinz Schnaps, William’s Birne, Alte Marille, Kirsch, Himbeere etc.
In my mind I figured that that moonshine was in a parallel line to our early Schnaps burning. And now, while I might not know much about Bourbon and Whiskey, I do love a good Korn, Schnaps/Spirit. They after all have healing ❤️🩹 factors 😉
Let’s just say I was not disappointed! Their Moonshine was amazing, from flavorless to yummy sips of Salted Caramel and Apple Pie. Honestly it couldn’t get more American than that! It was moonshine heaven.
So we received a very informational tour but I also got to sample everything. Along with Bourbon, Whiskey and Moonshine they also craft Rum and Vodka here.
On my eyes they have something for everyone! And if you don’t like liquor then the Gift Shop will have something for you. I even tried on a Redneck Hat and wished I would have bought it. We bought two jars of Moonshine, and one bottle of Bourbon as well as a magnet to remember once the liquor is gone.
We had a great night and it is Big Rig Friendly! They allow Generator use - yay and even tell you you can set up and BBQ if you like. They close by 16:30 so it was a quiet night and we left shortly before they opened up at 10.
