After discovering their bourbon on a shelf some time ago, Minden Mill had been on my radar for a…read morewhile. When my buddy and his wife came into town for his birthday, it felt like the perfect excuse to finally make the trip. Spoiler: it did not disappoint. We arrived just after opening at 2pm and were immediately struck by the building -- it's genuinely beautiful, the kind of space that sets the tone before you've even had a drink. We were greeted by Ryan, who was professional, warm, and clearly passionate about what he does. The tour itself was one of the best I've been on. Ryan packed it with information -- not just about the distillery's process, but about the history of Minden and the Gardnerville area. It was engaging, educational, and genuinely fun. I walked away with stories and facts I'm still repeating to anyone who will listen. Our tasting covered four pours: vodka, single barrel, bourbon, and the Goodnight Bourbon. The regular bourbon lived up to everything that put this distillery on my map in the first place. But the real surprise of the day? The gin. I'll be honest -- I wasn't expecting much. But this gin is unlike anything I've tasted. It has earned a permanent spot in my home bar for those occasional gin martini nights. And if you have any love for espresso martinis, do yourself a favor and pick up a bottle of their coffee liqueur. It's exceptional. After the tasting, our group headed upstairs to the bar -- which, by the way, is open to everyone, no tour required. We ordered an espresso martini, a gin martini, and a meringue-tini. Each one was distinct and impressive in its own right. The bar staff couldn't have been better -- they had a real knack for highlighting each spirit in a way that spoke directly to your taste buds. It was the perfect way to close out the afternoon. Minden Mill is the kind of place that checks every box: great craft spirits, a stunning venue, an informative and entertaining tour, and a bar that keeps the good times going. Highly recommend making the trip. And when you go -- ask for Ryan.

Has anyone ever carefully looked at the multitude of beer and liquor promotions that are draped…read morearound ever liquor shop until they found their drink of choice or confirmed that their drink of choice was the right price? No one has ever said, "My favorite beer is one dollar more here! I'll take my business elsewhere." Maybe the store owners just use the promotions to block out what's on the inside. I've always had a slight fear of stores that blocked out their windows. Will it be a wonderful surprise or a trap? There's only one way to find out! I can't say that Lucky Liquor was a wonderful surprise, but it certainly wasn't a trap. As advertised, and posted on its promotions, there is beer and liquor, and I imagine smokes but those don't not interest me. The store layout is more function than form. No one is hanging out at Lucky Liquor. You're in and you're out. I imagine that's just what the owner wanted. We were fortunate enough to find a Sharkinator White IPA from Lost Coast Brewery at a great price. The cashier was nice. I'm not sure if I will make it back to Lucky Liquor but I did find a brewery to look for at the next grocery store.

Loved them both! Definitely a hidden gem.

I want to update this review, this store is honestly 9/10 on everything including pricing…read more Previously I was upset because I kept buying a particular disposable vape product, and found that when I got home the product in the box was a "lesser" version of what I had payed money for. This happened however only a small handful of times, but prompted me to leave a nasty review in response. I would like to update this now however. If I'm being honest the issue with the vape was the only one I had. Even though this happened a few times within a short period of time (probably within about 6 months time period), I am reflecting now on my overall service, and the kindness that the owners I met a few times showed to me. In retrospect, this place deserves at least 4 to 4.5 stars. I also need to admit that I should have taken the product out of the box before leaving the store. If I had done this, I feel like my bad review could have been avoided entirely. You live and learn I guess, but please give this store a chance. They have amazing pricing versus the chevron across the street, and the owners are honestly really down to earth people- full of kindness the few times I was able to meet them here.

Too bad that's not truly an option here, after all. Almost every single section of their beer coolers (except for 2) had a sign on the doors stating the beers could not be used for mix & match. Ummm, that's not the information on your website. The same information that was the primary reason for me to come here in the 1st place. I left empty-handed. While they were nice enough to let me use their restroom, make no mistake, there is no "ultimate mix & match" here like they claim on their website
