Hello CELLO Fans!

Are you a little amazed at our new look? We’re hoping you’re as excited as we are about it! Our CELLO label worked so well at the Distillery, we loved the look, but as we’re moving toward a national presence, we’ve found that our CELLO label wasn’t as effective as it could be on the liquor store shelves. So for the past few months, we’ve been working diligently on rebranding our product.

So without further adieu, drum roll please, here it is: Bloomery SweetShine!

As you know, we pretty much put four ingredients into our SweetShine. Our 190° proof neutral based spirit, sugar, water and a fruit, root or nut for the flavor. Just like the Old Timers did during Prohibition.

Did you know: In 1800, there were more than 14,000 distillers in America, some of them producing only a barrel a year. By 1909, their numbers had been reduced to about 600. Then Prohibition hit in 1920. After its end in 1933, a dozen or fewer distilleries were left standing. Of course, those were the official statistics, which don’t include the citizenry’s rich and colorful history of making moonshine. And in our tiny hamlet of Bloomery, WV more illegal ‘shine came through this area than in any other area of the state! We’re excited to embrace those roots.

So CELLO fans, you’ll be happy to know that our new playful vintage look, through a collaboration with internationally award-winning artist Marty Blake, is out and will be available to our loyal CELLO fans at an unveiling at the Distillery on Saturday, May 11. We hope you’ll join us.

Let us know what you think—
Cheers!

Paddle to the SweetShine Hooch

with River and Trail Outfitters

call 301-695-5177

River & Trail Outfitters has teamed up with Bloomery Plantation Distillery, crafting a fun, festive and flavorful day where participants paddle the mellow, wilderness-surrounded Shenandoah River and then tour our distillery and taste a variety of our farm-fresh cocktail liqueurs.

The splash and spirit day kicks off with a guided 3-to-7-mile mellow kayak or canoe tour – depending on water levels – down the winding tree-lined Shenandoah River. Nestled in lush wilderness of the picturesque Shenandoah Valley, the river is encircled by the sprawling Blue Ridge Mountains. Deer, otters and beaver are often spotted along and beyond the shoreline, while there are plenty of Blue Herons, Egrets and Osprey on the water – and an occasional Bald Eagle overhead. Refuel with a tasty fried chicken, potato salad, and fresh fruit picnic after the trip.

Upon arriving at the award-winning Distillery, thirsty paddlers join a Hooch Guru for a tongue tapping taste of five of the distillery’s cordials, such as Original Limoncello, Raspberry Limoncello, Cremma Lemma, Lemon Ice and Dark Chocolate Raspberry liquor, which are paired with sweet treats and “great storytelling.”

Following a guided tour of the farm, which is peppered with lemon trees and raspberry shrubs, it’s time to chill out in the shady picnic area listening to live music. For $4, you can purchase refreshing ice tea, lemonade or – childhood favorite – a Slushie, which can be spiked with each guest’s favorite handcrafted hooch.

Through THE mINd oF a mAd MaN

By: Eric Bell. Photo by Eric Fargo.

This will be a bi-weekly or so posting where I will publish a recipe, either for a cocktail or for food incorporating SweetShine® in some way. My mind works in weird ways when coming up with some of these! Have fun following along with the journey “Through THE mINd oF a mAd MaN!” Please feel free to submit your recipes to me for inclusion at [email protected].

Setting: Close to midnight, sitting by the fire with a cup of coffee, watching Pawn Stars on TV.
My phone goes off with an incoming text message. “Who the hell is texting me this late?” It’s the Dragon Lady! (Our endearing term for Linda, the owner) “Great, what does she want this late at night?” (She is at a conference out of town.)

Dragon Lady: “Quick, What is a Conjugal Seizure? I need it now.” Me: “What are you talking about?” Dragon Lady: “A cocktail recipe.”

Me: madly Googling to find what she is talking about with no results.

Me: “I can’t find it.” Dragon Lady: “I know–Make it up!”

Phone rings, the Dragon Lady is calling…ugh… Me: “Who is your audience?”

Dragon Lady: “middle aged guy who doesn’t drink, make it good! Sweet and sassy, and one that will sneak up on ya.” Me: “Ok, Bye” Hang Up!

Me: mind going crazy, need a cocktail that packs a punch but doesn’t taste like it does…

Text Message…Me:

  • A Conjugal Seizure
  • 2 parts cognac
  • 1 part Peach SweetShine®
  • 1 part Raspberry Lemon SweetShine®
  • squeeze of an orange wedge
  • toss it in the glass and garnish with a cherry
  • splash with club soda if he’s a wuss

Dragon Lady: “Ok, wow…”
10 minutes pass… Text Message… Dragon Lady: “OMG that was awesome and he LOVES it!” Me: “Good.” Dragon Lady: “How did you come up with that?” Me: “Don’t underestimate my abilities!” Dragon Lady: “I don’t, that’s why I hired you!” Dragon Lady :”☺”

End of conversation. Until the following week when she asked me to make a Sassy Slap…
