West End Distillery

Okay Ladies and Gentlemen well actually everyone I just left an outstanding business in Athens,Ohio. West End Distillery was fantastic. Gina and OJ were very knowledgeable they explained every spirit to our satisfaction and to our taste buds delights. We enjoyed the ladies conversation and our new friends input. I may even be able to bike the trail next summer with this Wonderful place as my end destination.

We were headed here after our stop at their sister site West End Cider. Lou from the Cidery recommended this place. Said they had an upcoming tour at 130 PM.We arrived and the woman asked if we were part of the tour. She said there is room. But then said it's with an existing group of 12 people. I said oh nah we aren't interested. Thought it was randoms etc;We sampled 6 different whiskeys. Up to 6 if you can't obtain all. I had all that was almost available. The bourbon, Rye and Lime cello was my favorites.The owner does a good job and explained how they started and what they were using and were going to use. Asked if he sold his barrels after use. He said no because he will use at the cidery and vice versa. He was very nice and looked a lot like Kurt Surter, the creator of Sons of Anarchy.The bourbon is $75 a bottle. Think it's because it's 6 years old. I was in hope they had the 6 year old apple brandy but they didn't. Wanted to try it out. This place is very eas to miss. Remember there is a large parking lot next door that helps.
