We were in the area and wanted to try a local distillery…we were not disappointed! One of the owners and a great bartender gave us a spectacular tasting of their offerings. Don’t pass up on the 4 year bottled in bond wheated, winter blend gin and their coffee RTD. Definitely worth a visit and will be back to try more of their creations! Cheers!

Best distillery in the state. From fantastic innovations bar side to delectable take home bottles. This is a must stop for anyone that claims to be an aficionado and a must stop for those who just enjoy fun and flavor. The staff is courteous and knowledgeable of the product and procedures. Great location in the RINO area with other activities a short walk away.

Frank mixed us some phenomenal seasonal cocktails (hellhound, Dorian grey, the Fall of Man). Perfectly mixed and the flavors were incredible. I was most impressed with the Rye and 4 Grain bonded whiskeys, but the whole flight was excellent. We will be back soon (despite getting SEVERAL to go coffee cocktails and bottles).

The spring gin and espresso martini were delicious. It’s worth a drop in just to taste and see the beautiful bottle designs. What a wonderful family business
