Nelly’s Apple Brandy, Virginia Pine Gin and Mountain Cane Rum Cocktails were all topics of discussion at the Spring Peek of Nelson’s newest distillery. Devils Backbone Distilling Company began production several weeks ago, but gave an invitation only crowd the chance to sample some of their rum that’s available for sale now in the shop next door.
