Oct 27, went to Yamazaki distillery to taste some of their good whiskey. I prefer Yamazaki which is more sweeter and milder than Hakushu which is more sourer and sharper. They have a small water fall in their garden, looking at it, you’d be surprised how the water is clear and clean.
10/27、ウィスキーティスティングにサントリーの山崎蒸留所へ。さすが貯蔵所の中はもう空気がアルコールな感じで最初は息苦しかったけど、慣れるととても良い香りを感じることができました。ハイボールで山崎と白州どちらも頂いたけど、山崎の方が甘くてマイルドで、白州の酸っぱく鋭い感じよりも好きでした。分かりやすい、ケーキに入れたら美味しそう❤︎な風味の洋酒が好きです。お庭にある滝の水の綺麗さには素直に驚いた。

David is raising funds for his startup distillery! Learn more about how to support him on Kiva Zip here!
“I am a 20 year Navy Veteran currently working to open my own distillery in Southeastern Virginia. After several years of research and self-reflection, I realized two things. The first thing is that I needed to find a job that excited me as much as my first day in the Navy and secondly, that there is a void in the market for pre-Prohibition style spirits made using traditional techniques and locally sourced grains.
I started working on my dream in 2012 and Three Brothers’ Distillery, Inc. broke ground on our building in June 2015. We are working to be in production in late October, Early November 2015. We are starting production making Rye Whiskey, Compound Gin, and an un-aged Corn Whiskey. We will be hosting our official grand opening on April 23rd, 2016 at the Sussex County Song, Sausage, and Spirit Festival in conjunction with the Cheerful Chicken Farm.
The next steps for our distillery are completing construction, and acquiring access to a grain mill to slow grind our grains. We currently have several contracts for locally produced rye and corn and are on track with the plan for opening.”

#foodtripping road trip memories: Five Mile Mountain Distillery in Floyd, Virginia
It wouldn’t be a trip south without stopping for some moonshine. Virginia delivered in spades. Our destination: Five Mile Mountain, Floyd’s first new distillery since Prohibition. Housed in a historic building just outside of Downtown, the spot makes whiskey the old way: on copper stills over open flames. Read the full report here.
Hot-tip: The 80-proof elderberry moonshine, which may be made from an innocent berry but packs quite the punch.

So who taught a young Jack Daniel how to distill what would become the world’s best-selling whiskey? Until recently the public assumed that credit belonged to Dan Call, a Tennessee preacher & distiller. But actually, it was Call’s slave, “Uncle Nearis”. As you can imagine, it’s a complicated story for the brand.
(note: man shown in photo is believed to be Green’s son, under Jack Daniel’s employment)Born in 1820, there isn’t too much documentation to the life of Nearis Green. Unfortunately, his history is only known indirectly through his protégé, Jasper “Jack” Daniel, founder of Jack Daniel’s Whiskey.
As a boy in the 1850s, an orphaned Daniel was taken in by Dan Call, a preacher, grocer, and whiskey distiller. The story goes that Call saw potential in Daniel, grooming and teaching him how to run his whiskey still. The actual truth is that during this period, Nearis Green, a slave, acted as Call’s master distiller. It was under Green’s tutelage that Jack Daniel learned the whiskey-making craft. It’s noted that Call told young Daniel “Uncle [Nearis] is the best whiskey maker that I know of.”
After the end of slavery with the ratification of the 13th Amendment in 1865, Daniel started his own distillery. He also employed three of Green’s sons. Green had other passions he followed after gaining his freedom; he toured the world with an acapella group, the Fisk Jubilee Singers. They even performed Swing Low, Sweet Chariot in front of Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom.
In 2016, celebrating the 150th year anniversary of Jack Daniels, the company decided to fully embrace the complicated origins of their brand and bring Green’s story more into the public eye. Many slave distillers, like Green, aren’t well documented in the archives is because they didn’t have the right to be recognized at the time. Green’s noted year of death is 1890.
