I toured the distillery and tasting room and I was beyond impressed with the way the facility is run, the LEED certification that both of the historic buildings have (that in itself is impressive), the beautiful & artistic touches in the Tasting Room, the amazing equipment (check out all the copper machinery!). And then there are the actual products - top notch! We did a taste test of all the spirits: - Juniper Grove gin was super clean and had a delightful taste, whiskey - I'm not a fan of brown booze but this I could drink in a Manhattan anyday. - Source One Vodka -(the king of the Clear booze, in my opinion) Both were amazing and I especially the oak sherry cask vodka - lovely flavor & of course, the shade of color makes it interesting. Great to see Bently take the lead with such an amazing establishment.

Heard this movie theater had great prices on Tuesday afternoon. 3 of us went for $18.00 for a 4 pm show. The theater was clean and comfortable. The sound quality was good and the picture was perfect. Popcorn was $7.50 for a large but it does come with a free refill. We got ours right away so it wouldn’t interrupt the movie.
