The Longwood spirit is about to get tastier!
You may have seen our announcement that we have partnered with nearby Sandy River Distillery to create a limited edition single barrel bourbon—1839 Collection—and bottles go on sale this month, just in time for Homecoming and Alumni Weekend on Nov. 11!
There are fewer than 400 bottles available for sale this year, but you can be among the first to know when Sandy River Distillery opens sales. Just enter your information at go.longwood.edu/1839Collection and we’ll email you the minute it goes on sale!
Sandy River is a locally owned and operated distillery that is part of an outdoor adventure center complete with a ropes course, bike and boat rentals, and log cabins and glamping tents available to rent. It was important to us to partner with a local business on this project, and we found a really natural partner in Mark and Candice Smith, who own the distillery and adventure center. They plan to work with us to release a limited edition 1839 Collection each fall.
If you purchase 1839 Collection, there are three ways to get your bottle:
- Pickup at Longwood’s Homecoming and Alumni Weekend pregame tailgate event on Nov. 11
- Pickup at Sandy River Distillery
- Ship within Virginia
Note: there is no shipping outside Virginia at this time.
If you have questions, please contact 1839Collection@longwood.edu.
Here’s a toast to a new Longwood tradition!
