I like Death's Door stuff. I really do…read more Although it's easy for me to only think about GLD stuff - having an amazing distillery a stone's throw from my house? Ridiculous... - there are a few other good spirits that hail from our lovely Wisco... Death's Door being one of them. I've always found their vodka to be clean, their gin to be round and delightful, and their white whisky? Well, I can't speak to that, cause I've not had it. (I'm sort of leery of clear whisk(e)ies. Not sure why... just doesn't seem right.) At any rate, I think their gin may be my favorite. GLD gin is my absolute favorite, but Death's Door is super solid, too. Juniper, coriander, and fennel, w/out being transparent about it. It's nice and balanced and like I said, round. Approachable. Words that describe things that are good... add more of them here. Though I've not physically been, four stars for a solid product that hails from my beloved Dairyland!

Tasted their gin,vodka and white whisky for the first time today. Their vodka would go great in a…read moreMoscow Mule. Put im sure they'll taste great in your favorite drink too. Go ask your bartender to mix a drink for you next time with Deaths Door Spirit in it. You'll be in for a great rest of your day.

We stopped in on a Thursday night and the place was pretty empty. We did not do a tour and elected…read moreto sample a few of their drinks in the bar area. You can sit by the bar or in one of the many leather couches they have..we chose the latter. My wife had their Chocolate Martini and I had their Old Fashion along with a single shot of their bourbon. All drinks were very good. This is a family owned and operated craft distillery. They do not serve food at the distillery but they go at their other location in downtown Galena...Public House. They make their own Bourbon,Gin, Vodka,Rum and Rye Whiskey ..so something for everyone's palette.

You could tell the passion and family like atmosphere at J Henry. Our tour guide was Elista. The history and background was so interesting, it gave us a tremendous appreciation for their craft. The tasting at the end was so much fun, again, we learned so much about their brand. We then headed to the bar to continue. Next time we will take more time to try the bistro. We became fans of their bourbon and we will be back.

Restrooms available. Limoncello: On the sweet side with a bit heaviness of alcohol aftertaste. 3rd Gear Old Fashioned: Sweeter old fashion with hint of whisky. This is a great drink if you like whiskies. Sour Cherry: tastes similar to plum liquor. My favorite of the night! If you have tried Korean plum wine then you'll like this drink. Apple-Peach Liqueur: Has more of an peach scent than apple. Little bit less sweet compared to sour cherry.

The place was mostly empty except a few patrons, but it picked up as the hour went on. Service was spot on with just the right amount of attention. The drinks were a great highlight of the booze they're putting out. I will say I was underwhelmed by the Ginger old fashioned. It lacked bitters which I believe to be essential to the drink. I wish we could've stayed for food because everything looked and smelled incredible. Hopefully next time!

The food was also good - chips & queso, chicken tenders, and pretzel. The pretzel was INSANE - enough to go around for 4 people. Riley was a fabulous bar tender. He was super knowledgeable on all the spirits and cocktails. We had great banter and he was welcoming on our first visit. I loved the variety of seating options inside and out. The patio is great but the bees scared us back inside. Everything was decorated so cute for Halloween - it must have taken forever to decorate!!
