NEW STRAITSVILLE – A unique and COVID-preventative technique is being practiced at the Black Diamond Distillery in New Straitsville.
“The blueprints on the wall here are from Halloween of 1923. It was built after a fire and where we distill at, there’s fire doors because we used to sell dynamite here. This building was a general store that sold everything from underwear to dynamite and so there is a very safe room over there. We have three fire doors and fire brick that would withstand any explosion,” Black Diamond Distillery operator Eric Hadin said.
