This place specializes in distilling rum and they do it extremely well. Hopefully the owner will read this and correct me but I believe they even have 3 different types of gin based on a rum distillate. This is a small Distillery with all of their products being very well done and could be considered a sipping type Rum that really doesn't need a mixer. I really liked the maple barrel aged rum and I purchased bottles of the Anisette, Orange and Maple Cream liquors,

We had a fantastic evening with Vitae Spirits owner, Ian Glomski. He is SUCH a nice guy, not to mention brilliant and interesting! Ian gave us a short primer on distilling then taught us a Mixology 101 class that was a blast. The Vitae Spirits rums and gins were all delicious. Perhaps the favorite was the Pain Suppression (like a Pain Killer TM); absolutely delicious! We then each had a turn behind the bar making a kind of drink in 3 different ways (super dry, middle, very sweet). It was fascinating to see how the balance of the drink and the quality of the spirit impacted the drinks. The distillery and store are clean and classy; what a great place to hangout with friends and learn a new skill. THANK YOU, IAN! We'll be back soon. Cheers!

Really enjoyed samples of Vitae Rum. We also had their Snow Day specialty hot chocolate. It was yummy! The bartender was very nice and accommodating! He made us our speciality drinks and told us all about his drinks.

May 22 was our first visit to this craft distillery and it did not disappoint! Super friendly and knowledgeable staff that spent time explaining the spirits. Creative, unique, AND beautiful cocktails! All in an enjoyable atmosphere. Excited to return again soon!

Re: Learn Craft Distillery experience Totally awesome! Ian is both incredibly knowledgeable and easy to talk to. We knew very little about the distilling process going into this, let alone the history or science behind craft spirits. We both found the brief lecture at the beginning fascinating and really enjoyed the step-by-step tour of Vitae Spirits Distillery. The tastings were delicious :) 10/10 would highly recommend!
