Top 8 Things to do Good for a Rainy Day in Belmont, North Carolina (NC)
Belmont is a small suburban city in Gaston County, North Carolina, United States, located about 15 miles (24 km) west of uptown Charlotte and 9 miles (14 km) east of Gastonia. The population was 10,076 at the 2010 census. Once known as Garibaldi Station, the name change for Belmont is disputed. Some say it was named for a prominent New York banker - August Belmont. Others contend the Pope ordered the abbot of the monastery to change the name since he would not tolerate an abbey in a place that bore the Garibaldi name. The abbot could see Crowder's mountain from the property and named the town Belmont - "beautiful mountain". Belmont is home to Belmont Abbey College.

I meet some friends on a rainy Saturday afternoon for the tour and tasting. Was quite surprised to have some excellent rum. Not a big fan of the silver rum (1st tasting) but everything after was completely amazing. The basil was my favorite and the Queen Reserve. Very impressed with the coconut and spiced. If you are looking for a great rum for eggnog, their spiced would fit the bill and then some. Keep your shot glass! Owner gave the tour which was great hearing the history.

5. The Jailhouse Whiskey and Cigar Bar
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 13 reviews
A refined yet approachable bar housed in the former Belmont Jailhouse. We pride ourselves on our whiskey collection but have everything in between from wine to beer to signature cocktails. Grab a bite while you're here from our Bar Bites menu or grab a cigar from our walk in humidor and head downstairs to the separate cigar lounge appointed with oversized leather arm chairs to help you unwind and relax.

My friend and I visited this bar for the first time after having lunch at the Old Stone Steakouse around the corner. The selection of bourbons, whiskies, and sctches was very impressive. They had Reyka vodka from Iceland which is one of my favorites, as well as Hibiki Harmony Whiskey from Japan which has won many awards: I tried may when I visited Japan several years ago.

Had the pleasure of coming to this store recently, before the tornado hit it a couple of weeks ago. Although they will have to rebuild, when it is open again, I will come shop with them. Really good people who work there!
