I've visit Niagara Craft every time we come to WNY for a visit with family. I love their bourbon,…read moreit is absolutely top notch. I have tasted many kinds of bourbons from all over including the traditional Kentucky bourbons. This bourbon is some of the smoothest I've ever experienced by far. So, if you're a bourbon lover, you will love their 1808. I have also purchased the 1808 Corn Whiskey which is excellent. It sure does provide a heated kick. I highly recommend their craft distilled spirits.

The distillery itself is really nice, welcoming, and has a great atmosphere to sit back, have a drink, and enjoy yourself. Our server was honestly a big part of what made the experience so enjoyable. I wish I had gotten her name because she was excellent at what she does. She was very knowledgeable about the drinks, easy to talk to, and genuinely welcoming. She took the time to explain everything and made the whole experience that much better. Good food, great drinks, and excellent service. We'll definitely be back.

Veronica was behind the bar and was fantastic. She knows her stuff, makes a damn good drink and has the personality to make the whole experience fun. Great recommendations and even better conversation. The place itself is worth checking out, but a good bartender can make or break a place and Veronica definitely made it. If you're in the Distillery District, stop in and ask for her. Tell her some random American on Yelp said she was awesome. I'm sure that won't be weird at all.

It was great to be able to look around, ask questions and of course sample their amazing products. As a fan of their regular vodka, I was excited to try the flavoured options and sweet potato. The strawberry, blueberry lemon grass and peppermint vanilla were all very smooth and flavourful. The sweet potato vodka was excellent! I was also able to try the maple poitin that had a whisky like flavour. Overall, top shelf products that are local - does it get any better?! Definitely check out their distillery store or if you aren't local, pick up a bottle of any of their product. You won't be disappointed!

Do NOT order online from this place. I ordered a Caesar kit from them on Christmas Day. Since it…read morewas the holiday season, I gave them some grace and knew that the shipment would probably take longer than the 1-3 business days that the website states. No big deal, I'm a patient person. Once it hit 10 business days and still no email regarding it being shipped, I sent a quick email. No response. So a few days later, I sent a message through their website. No response. Another email a couple of days later. No response. Finally I call them and am told that Daniel will call me back... I get an email that basically states "Sorry for the delay, I refunded your shipping, it will go out Friday thing Monday morning.". (Huh?! Oof). Again, no tracking number, no contact, no product. I emailed again to ask for a tracking number. No response. It's a month later, and no product. I call again, get a lady who says she will talk to Daniel and call me back. To her credit, she calls me back that day. She says it will be sent Monday, with express shipping, and I should have it by Wednesday. (Ontario to Alberta - doubtful). I ask her to send me a tracking number and she says she will personally call me on Monday with it. Well, you can guess what happened at this point. No call, no email, no product. Now I'm REALLY fed up (like I said, I'm patient, but over a month of getting the run around has finally worn it thin), and why won't the guy in charge even bother to speak with me?! I call back, speak with her again, she says they had three packages returned to them and mine was among them. That makes no sense at all to me, I'd sure like to see what the (non-existent) tracking said on all three of those. She says Daniel will sort it out. NOTHING. We're now into February. I call back, speak to the first gentleman again, he assures me that Daniel will contact me. Righhhht. I wait another week before one more phone call that went unanswered during business hours - they probably have call display. LOL. My next call was to Visa to dispute the charge. The next day I get an email with a short apology stating that he will refund me. No explanation as to why they haven't sent it. Over a week later, on Feb.13th, I finally received a refund. I don't even know if he provided it, or if Visa did... My bet is on Visa. What a joke of a business. Get your act together!

If good things come in small packages then what does it say for Last Straw Distillery? A tiny…read moreindustrial space with 1/3 dedicated to a small kitchen and set of offices doesn't leave much room to produce spirits in the manner by which they do and at the volume they do. And yet do you think that quality would suffer - hell no. If you're wondering where you can find Last Straw Distillery, it's located closer to (just south of) Langstaff just off of Jane. Watch out carefully for it as if you're not careful you may miss their store front on Pippin Rd. So what sports of spirits are they concocting at Last Straw? All of them. Their Vaughan Vodka is one of the smoothest I've had served straight up at room temperature, little to no burn and none of that head shaking as you force it down. In fact it almost has a velvety mouth field similar to a light syrup. I'm not a Gin person typically, and only recently have I really developed a taste for Gin and Tonics, their Gin 21 is floral and yet so super smooth that I think I could actually drink this straight up in a martini - the way Gin was made to be drunk. Next up there's the Dark Side of Moonshine and their Blackstrap Rum. Wow on both accounts, so much so that I bought a bottle of Dark Side to bring home. There are even a few surprises in the works for the future, like a signature single malt... imagine that a whiskey/scotch aged in barrels right here in Vaughan. The prospect of it has my mouth watering in anticipation. Pay them a visit before they get too busy and sell out of everything, one bottle of everything they carry is literally all you need to jump start your own craft cocktail home bar - trust me.
