In just a few years David and Jack have produced some prime hooch: award-winning bourbons, gins and vodkas (100% Connecticut corn!) made in small batches here in the Litchfield Hills. Some (but not all) secrets of the distiller's trade are revealed in a short but interesting tasting tour. Reservations advised.
