Lake Lanier's only whiskey distillery has made a splash since opening in midtown Gainesville. Remedy prescribes to the belief that a good shot of bourbon or whiskey may just cure what ails you. There's only one way to find out...visit their location for a free tasting of their delicious blends including Remedy Straight, Red Remedy and Apple Remedy. Their tasting bar also offers a menu of hand crafted cocktails.

Be sure to enjoy their covered patio and live music events, they are just what the doctor ordered.

A little history lesson about whiskey as medicine: During prohibition, 1920 through 1933, whiskey distillers sold their spirits legally as a medicinal tonic. Doctors would write a prescription, charging $3 for a person to get a pint of tonic. Then, pharmacies filled the prescription for $4. Adjusted for inflation, today’s cost would run about $95 for each pint. During prohibition, the law allowed each individual a maximum of 3 pints per month. It has been estimated that an average of over 11 million prescriptions were sold yearly during prohibition. Now that's a remedy for getting around those prohibition laws for sure!
