#sublimesunday is a tag presenting you with the unique opportunity to post something a bit different, wacky, crazy or just whatever takes your fancy and instigated by @c0ff33a ☕️

My Sublime Sunday begins with a visit to a legal moonshine distillery.

I emphasize legal because moonshine had been an illegal activity on P.E.I. for years..maybe a couple centuries. The locals still tell funny stories about the moonshiners.

Whenever visitors from off-Island stop by, they often want to visit the distillery and take some moonshine back home with them.

Hubs and I take his visiting sister and her friend to The Myriad View Artisan Distillery located near Souris, P.E.I.

The distillery has a idyllic location across the road from the sea.

Lush green grape vines greet you when step out of the vehicle.

Interesting products to sample. I tried the brandy- it was powerful. then I tried the Pastis..a bit more to my taste.

Pastis had a smooth liquorice taste and the sales lady said it was made with anise and other herbs.

I figured it must be healthy and bought a bottle of the Pastis!

What really sold me on the Pastis was the sales lady said it was great in clam chowder....or have a sip while you’re making it!

I asked what it could be mixed with and she said cold water was a mixer. It turns the liquid a milky colour.

I’ll close my visit with this plaque on the wall inside the distillery...perfect saying for the shop.

I've tasted what was probably illegal moonshine & it was strong. It also didn't show a flame if someone lit it on fire.... o_O

It's nice to know this stuff is legal. :D

Haha Deb. I drank the illegal stuff once and it nearly burned my throat. I went to the beach with a couple friends and one lady brought a bottle of what she thought was wine. She poured the three of us a drink. We clinked glasses. toasted and down the hatch. Not being much of a drinker, I sputtered and coughed, thinking this is strong wine. After one gulp she realized it was moonshine her husband had been given by someone who has a still and makes his own illegally. It was put in a wine bottle.
We still laugh thinking about the look on each of our faces with the first mouthful.

The place looks lovely, I just hope there are not a lot of fumes but even if there are, they will help keep your smile on a bit longer lol :)

😂 @zen-art. With all that moonshine around, If anyone lit a match in there I’m sure the whole place would go up . Seriously, it was very nice and organized inside. We had to wait in checkout line quite awhile with all the folks trying samples and buying bottles of the moonshine. ❤️

The grapes garden tell the exotic beauty of sundday...👍
