If all goes according to plan, Clermont will be adding a distillery to its two local downtown breweries (Suncreek Brewery and Clermont Brewing Co.) Heritage Distilling Co., an award-winning craft distillery, will locate on a 5.9 (+/-) acre-parcel, located at the corner of State Road 50 and 12th Street, Clermont.
Once the vacant property is developed, it will include a distillery, tasting room, restaurant(s) and retail shops, all at the city’s west entrance and gateway to the downtown central business district. The project should be a welcomed addition to the area and provide more opportunities and exposure to the downtown area.
Heritage Distilling Co., makes Brown Sugar Bourbon, the World’s Best Flavored Whisky, according to Whisky Magazine; and is the most awarded craft distillery in North America by the American Distilling Institute 6 years in a row (2014 – 2019)
If You Don’t Drink It, Eat It – Brown Sugar Bourbon is more than for sipping. I’ve been told it enriches the flavor of a hot toddy, cider, or eggnog; and enhances the taste of pies, cakes, and cookies. I haven’t baked in a while but it looks like I’m going to start again.
Hint from someone who knows -Sipping while Baking = Burnt cookies.
