There is a fellow on this site from Dahlonega, and in the late '60's and early '70's, some of the absolute best whiskey came from there. (It may still be true, but I've been gone for a long time.) Smooth and powerful. I was even offered $100 a trip to drive a car from Dahlonega to Atlanta. As often as I wanted. I respectfully declined. I was a wild and crazy yute (thanks for teaching me that one, folks), but not too stupid. I think they aged it 3 or 4 days. It was great! Copper tubs did the trick, so I've been told. All the store bought stuff is ok, but not as good as this was.
Cheers!
