This past weekend was magical, plain and simple. The stories that will come from our adventure to Golden Valley, North Carolina to visit the guys from Blue Ridge Distilling Company and Defiant Marine will become legendary. Although we were there only a short period of time, the connections we made were life altering resulting in friendships that run deep.
Although we’ve written a story about our time spent there, this is one adventure you most definitely have to experience for yourself. Even if you aren’t a whisky drinker, it is worth the drive to Blue Ridge Distilling just to see the distillery and meet the guys that, when they aren’t risking their lives in a marine salvage operation, are spinning malted barley into gold. If you are a lover of fine spirits, all the better, because their Defiant Single Malt Whisky is ambrosia, plain and simple.
