Dalton Distillery in Dalton, Georgia
Sunflower Spirits from Dalton Distillery in Dalton
Who says you can't drink sunflower seeds? Master Distiller Raymond Butler knows a thing or two about making moonshine and whiskey. Following the moonshining tradition of his North Georgia mountain family, Butler knew that sunflower seeds would add a distinctive taste to his company's spirits. The result? The first commercially distilled spirits from sunflower seeds and two new additions to Dalton Distillery family of spirits: the TazaRay Original and TazaRay Red. TazaRay Original is aged in used bourbon barrels, giving it a smooth, mellow taste, and TazaRay Red is aged in used red wine barrels, resulting in a ruby color. Visit the distillery for a tasting and pick up a bottle (or both) for the holidays.
