Master distiller to speak at public meeting
“Yo Ho Ho and a Bottle of Rum” is the title for a meeting next week at the Walhalla Library. The public is invited at 6 o’clock Tuesday evening, July 9 for a presentation by master distiller Ben Wesley. He plans to take attendees through the farm to bottle process — growing the fruits and grains, fermenting, distilling, bottling, and labeling. It’s a free program designed for persons 18 and up. One important note: no alcohol is to be consumed at the meeting.
