Your whiskey has been declared "wicked good" and "5 star" by a panel of 4 amateur libation lovers

(1 transplant Southerner (me) and 3 born and bred Yanks).  Erin C.

 

Came across their vodka at a local store and figured I would give it a try. I'm hooked it's a first rate vodka and I'd put it against anything out there. Doug F.

 

We've only tapped into the gin so far, and it was incredible! Truly worthy of the results you received at the NY International Spirits awards. Zach B.

Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary likely didn’t have Opelika, Alabama’s John Emerald Distillery (JED) in mind when crafting its definition of “family.” But the description fits the distillery as closely as the staves of the hand-fitted barrels holding JED’s aging spirits.
