Bellewood Distilling
OLD FASHIONED LIQUOR by Riley Sweeney
T
ucked just off the Guide Meridian, Bellewood Acres Farm is a frequent stop among locals for apples, corn and pumpkins in the fall but in the last year, they have expanded into spirits. Their tasting room, a black wood affair with old fashioned barrels and metal furnishings, looks in on their distillery, a mass of polished bronze. You feel part voyeur, as if peering in on an elaborate moonshine operation tucked away in fields, and part honoured guest. The tasting room sports generous pours and comfortable leather seats.
