Glacier Distilling Company
I had a nice and quick dinner at Josephine’s Bar and Kitchen. I noticed that they have a large selection of liquor here and I was hoping to find out more about it. Turns out there is a well known distillery next door and that is where they probably get all their stuff. I was surprised at the presence of the distillery here. Maybe there is something about the remoteness of the place that makes them make their own spirits. Or maybe that the pure waters of the glacier area make for the perfect ingredient to make them. Glacier Distilling Company is just a stone’s throw away from Josephine’s and it also looks like another log cabin. Going in, you would be surprised to see a large selection of spirits available here.

The first thing that came of mind was moonshine. I don’t know much about the history of moonshine but it seems like a Josephine Doody became known for making this illegal drink. It was a time of prohibition but that didn’t stop bootleggers from making their own spirits. Incidentally, one of the drinks here is named Josephine’s ‘shine. I didn’t really know what to buy, I’m not a whiskey person so I just asked for recommendations. You can also see their distillery right in the shop. Visitors cannot go in the distillery itself but you can clearly see it just beside the bar. I like their setup here. It was just a shame that I was driving and I would not have any way to get back to the cabin on my own.
