Richmond Haunts long-form
Haunted Distilleries, Volume 2: Glenmorangie, Glen Scotia and Thornton
Episode notes
About this episode
| Volume 2 returns to distilleries, where industrial history, family tradition and the transformation of old buildings have inspired tales of unexplained activity. The episode opens with the history and mythology of absinthe before traveling among American and Scottish spirits producers.
In the United States, the route visits Black Bear Distillery in Green Mountain Falls, Colorado, Thornton Distilling Company in Thornton, Illinois, and Southern Grace Distilleries in Mount Pleasant, North Carolina. The Thornton site has also operated under the Dead Drop Spirits name, while Southern Grace occupies a former correctional facility. The Scottish portion features Glenmorangie near Tain, Glen Scotia in Campbeltown and the preserved Dallas Dhu distillery near Forres. The episode distinguishes each property’s documented working history from stories reported by employees and visitors, pairing literal spirits with supernatural ones without confusing legend for proof. |
