Orange County Distillery

This little distillery is a revamped bar in the middle of the pine Island black dirt. You can grab take your drink outside and look at the beautiful rolling fields. The staff is friendly and let me charge my phone since I was on the move. There is a stage for live music a second floor that is a 'barn lounge', and wood stoves. A food truck is outside too if you need a nibble.

Nice little tasting room. The aged rye whiskey is excellent.

I don't normally review products but when you get a nasty headache from drinking a whiskey there is something wrong, so this is more of a public service announcement. The whiskey in question is the Rye from this distiller. I drank the equivalent of a double and had to get up in the middle of the night to take a pill for the splitting headache that resulted. I assume the poor quality of this whiskey is related to its homespun origins - a basic production process is probably at fault for not removing some of the unpleasant compounds that would be filtered out by a more sophisticated process. Also, it has a rank taste. I really wanted to like this whiskey but I feel that Orange County Distillery should not be selling liquor that could potentially be dangerous to health.
