Excellent tour! We really enjoyed it. The whiskey is very good. Got to bottle my own bottle. Very informative. If you're in the area and like whiskey it is a must do.

Tour: Friendly/funny/knowledgeable staffs and unique experience that you can 'bottle' your own bottle and purchase it. Old Pali Road Whiskey: It was light-colored, simple, and straightforward. Tasting note was white sugar and theater popcorn with a subtle hint of nut at the end. It would be a good drink to mix than to sip, but price tag of $70 is questionable amount. Regardless, tour was exceptional and highly recommend!

My only other experience with a distillery tour was the Jack Daniel's. I was not disappointed here at all! In fact I learned some new things AND I got o interact with a real life distiller! Our tour guide was the distiller! Got to touch the equipment and even had the chance to mark your own bottle for purchase. And it wasn't an arm and a leg. Excellent experience I recommend it even if you're not a whiskey drinker Plus the drive if you're coming from the tourist mctouristy section of the island is well worth it! Thanks for a great tour and tasting!

Small distillery. Very helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable staff. Try the moonshine, you'll be pleasantly surprised! Get GoPass- their full tour and tasting is included. Reservations required.
