Stumpy’s Spirits

I have been wanting to check out this local gem. Finally we made the short drive off of Route 3 and found the distillery. It is nestled on the owners family farm. He proudly told us during the tour that his whiskey is made similar to those in KY on the Bourbon trail, they use water feed springs that run under the property to make their «spirits». During the tour we were walked through the process of making the whiskey and vodka. After the tour we stopped in the tasting room/​gift shop. We sampled their Pecan Pie Whiskey, their Honey Whiskey and my favorite the Unbroken Vodka. All distilled on their property. A special that they had was a free t-​shirt with a bottle purchase. So you will be fashionable and drunk… This place is worth the stop, and you can take a bottle home to sip at your leisure.

Informative tour and very nice hosts.

I just randomly stopped by the other day. I am always on the look out for new distilleries and this was in my route AND it was open. I headed off the main road, drove for less than a mile and saw this large building in the middle of a corn field with the distillery name on the front. There weren’t a lot of cars so I didn’t know what to expect.
I feel bad for not recalling names but I was greeted by who I eventually found out was the wife of the distiller and then the distiller himself. It was a lobby area with a sampling bar and other products around. Through double french doors you could see the main distilling room.
Another couple happened to show up and the owner was more than happy to give a tour and description of the processes they use. He is very proud that they use all local products to make the spirits. They can get what they need right out the door or in the ground and the byproducts go back to the local farms. It was nice to hear all the steps, be able to see and smell the product at different stages, and then eventually head out for a taste.
For $ 2 (and an ID) you can sample what they sell: Vodka, White whiskey, and bourbon. The distiller hung around during the sampling and answered all our questions. Other folks showed up for samples, products, and tours.
The tour was nothing fancy but very informative. I hope they succeed and to that end I left with some of their products and will most likely be back.
