Young kids? No problem. All the gates open inward for maximum safety, and the fencing is tall enough to keep little wanderers inside the playpen. Inside that playpen, you’ll find three lounge seats, all with spacious, rotomolded storage below – plenty of room for water toys, safety equipment, and snacks. Speaking of snacks, there’s room for an optional cooler under the console.

We make every effort to run our distillery as environmentally friendly as possible We are 100% off-grid. We use local Limestone Spring water. And all of our spent grains go to a hog farm up the road to feed the animals. We are always looking for ways to reduce our energy and reuse the materials we have to reduce our impact on the environment as much as possible.
