Strange year...wanted to thank everyone that visited our open houses this fall and spring.  Unfortunately we were closed in March & April due to covid-19.  Now with the heat the distillery is too hot for visitors to be comfortable.  We appreciate your support and look forward to resuming our open houses in the fall. Be safe and cheers from Palm Ridge Florida's premium whiskies.  Resumed our "open houses" in October.  We have one every other Saturday from noon to 4PM.  Check out the dates under "Events".  Our address is 23096 SE Highway 42 Umatilla 32784.  The gate will only be open to the public on "open house" Saturday's.  If you have any questions, give us a call at 352-455-7232.  Cheers, Dick & Marti

Want to thank everyone for visiting the distillery this year  and helping to spread the word about our award winning, locally produced Florida whiskies! Just the two of us here at the distillery, making whiskey and bottling.  No other employees...distillery dogs  not much help, but they do like to supervise. Again, it's always great meeting everyone and we enjoy showing you the process.  Your support is much appreciated!

 

We were pleased to be included in Jim Murray's 2015 Whiskey Bible.  We scored a 94.5 (on his score chart: 94-97.5 "Superstar whiskies that give us all a reason to live"  Also continues to be included in his yearly publications. Proud of our whiskey!

 

Here's the review from Jim Murray.

 

FLORIDA FARM DISTILLERS Umatilla, Florida

 Palm Ridge Reserve Handmade Micro Batch Florida Whiskey orange and oak wood. Less than 1 year Old, Batch 29 (94.5)n23 big rye signature to the nose: fruity, light and easy on the corn oils.  Some hints of marzipan, trimmed apple and very old marmalade: aggressive tannin; t24  I doubt I will experience a more gentle landing on the palate for any US whiskey this year. Just enough  oil to absorb the impact of the small grains and again, the ryes run riot ensuring a juicy, spicy theme throughout.  A little Parma Violet candy represents an earthiness which balances the complex, non-specific fruit doing the rounds; f23.5 no great age to this guy (and I wrote that before I spotted the admitted maturation!), but the way the ulmo, manuka and orange-blossom honeys combine, depth is maintained; b24 I can see why everyone heads to Florida in the winter: obviously to try and grab one of the meager 6,000 bottles of this on offer each year.  This is beautifully crafted, truly adorable whiskey where fruit appears to constantly have its hand on the tiller. And rather than blast in like a Hurricane from the sea, it breezes gently around the glass and palate with an easy elegance.  I have relatives in Florida: about time I gave them another visit...45% (90 proof)

 

 

The Florida Legislature passed a law in 2017 allowing craft distilleries to now sell 6  bottles per person per year on site.  We will resume our "Open Houses" 2 to 3 times a month in the fall. Check our "Events" section for dates and time.  Hope you'll come and see the process.  We always distill on "open house" day...you can watch fresh whiskey coming off the still. We also post the upcoming dates on our Facebook page & on twitter.

 

Our award winning Palm Ridge Reserve is a very smooth whiskey with a more intense flavor profile similar to a single malt bottled at 90 Proof.  Our Reserve starts out with strong caramel & vanilla notes then transforms to a long spicy finish making it complex yet well balanced.  The absence of chill-filtering provides extra presence and mouth feel.   Palm Ridge Virgin, our unaged whiskey is now available throughout Florida.  Palm Ridge Virgin is a whiskey created with respect for the great whiskey making traditions of the Old South.  This is our award winning Palm Ridge Reserve before transition that comes from charred barrel aging.  Here is all the taste of the grain, just as it comes off the still, with an exceptional smoothness unexpected in fresh whiskey.  It is gently touched by oak and bottled at 100 Proof. 

 Our award winning  Palm Ridge Rye captures the reason for the return to popularity of old fashioned rye whiskey.  This is the essence of rye grain, very smooth with all the wonderful spiciness and deep finish you expect from a great rye whiskey. Distilled in micro batches, the slow old fashioned way, in a copper 60 gallon reflux column still. This 100 proof rye whiskey is handmade, distilled & bottled here on the farm in Umatilla,FL.  Our award winning Palm Ridge Golden expresses our softer side.  In Palm Ridge Golden, all of the rye in our Reserve grain mash has been replaced with wheat which gives it a much milder profile.  The name evokes golden fields of wheat and matches the color of the spirit.  Palm Ridge Golden is a soft easy drinker, but with a touch of spiciness retained from Reserve barrels and 90 proof bottling will confirm its ancestry...welcome to the family Golden! 

 

 

As usual we want to thank all our fans, retailers, restaurants, resorts & local bars that continue to support Florida whiskies ...it is much appreciated!!! Hope to see you this Fall at the distillery!

 

Please keep telling your friends & family about Florida whiskies.  If your favorite retailer or restaurant doesn't carry PRR, tell them we'll be happy to put them in touch with a rep from RNDC in their area.
