Fun tasting, lots of options for craft distilled spirits. Prefer the maple whiskey over other whiskeys, but all were tasty. Great food options. Sandwiches, pasta, etc..... the pasta was delish and one order is enough for two people unless you've been without food for some time, like in some hostage type situation. In that case I would recommend not sharing. Was great to be served by one of the distillers who was very knowledgeable and happy to share tidbits of his craft. Overall, highly recommended.

The quality of the distillery products would easily make this a 5 star review. I even purchased 5 bottles on my visit. This guy's have a lot of uniquely flavored liquor and its almost all at 80 proof, with the exception of the Lemoncello. There's some 'traditional' whiskey and rums along with the specialty flavors such as grappa, aquavit, etc. One of my complaints with this place is it's hard to find as it's combined with a pasta store and their sign is hard to see. Also while they do offer cocktails there's really no where to sit other than a small bar and one 2 person table outside.

Amazing distillery - every cocktail we had was incredible. We tasted a few spirits alone too and they did not disappoint. Great shop too! Corey made our drinks for us and schooled us on spirits and all things cocktails - he was amazing to learn from and spend time with! We also had the pleasure of meeting the owner, John who told us about their roots in the community and the history of their business. Loved the experience and will definitely go back!

All the spirits here are great. My personal favorites were the Sole Gin and the Rye Whiskey, but the Limoncello and Black Walnut Vodka were also incredibly solid options. The owners and bartender were incredibly knowledgeable and friendly.

Some of the best crafted spirits I have tasted. The spiced rum and barrel aged gin are must haves. And the owner is super cool
