Great 48 Tour Stop 17: Delaware's Painted Stave Distillery Talking About the Oddly Interesting Item They Put in a Still

The Whiskey Lore® Podcast (Whiskey Flights)

Painted Stave Distillery (Smyrna, DE) WF0055

For our 17th of the Great 48, I thought I was going to have some trouble tracking down a whiskey distillery in Delaware, but low and behold I found a fun one in the Painted Stave. Ron and Mike had a particular vision (and name) for this distillery, but sometimes plans change. In this case, rather than a distillery that distributes across the states, they've honed in on their community and it is a fun place to hang out with friends. From the food trucks to the cocktails and spirits served neat, there is a lot to like here.

I will say though, there is one spirit they made that might turn your head and make you wonder what they were thinking. Again, a surprise success. Find out what foreign object they put in their still and the fascinating spirit it produced.
