All were super tasty and well-balanced. You can tell lots of care went into creating their whiskies. We will be back next time we're in town.

I've been wanting to visit J Henry and do the tour for many many years. Finally found a weekend to…read moredo that as well as Wollersheim Winery. J Henry was by far our favorite tour. 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.

Stopped in for our (me, hubby, and adult son) first time and I gotta tell you, I love this place…read more Had a couple of fantastic cocktails: Belfast coffee and a Rum-arita. Both were great, but many that coffee one?! Ooh I want one of those to start everyday! Husband and son both really liked theirs also. They were made right in front of us with fresh, homemade ingredients. The place itself was well lit and offered a lot of seating. There was a board game event going on while we were there. We just sat at the bar but would definitely go back for a game event. Awildan did not appear to offer food, but some other patrons brought in their own snacks which I like about a small place, especially during an event like the board game event. While sitting at the bar, we were able to chat with the owner. He shared his story as well as his plans for growth of the business. He works with other businesses in the area which is always great to hear. Shortly before we were ready to leave, a couple came in and didn't seem to really know what they wanted. The owner did a great job of describing the liquor options, making cocktail recommendations, and then ultimately went off menu to make cocktails they would like. Though I don't recommend doing this to a bartender, it was good to see he was willing to go off script to help make a couple's experience enjoyable. Do yourself a favor and check this place out!

Walking into the brewery was awesome, such a cool place and quite large. The girl at the spot were I believe you can order food wasn't too friendly but the bartender was awesome! Bartender was super friendly, I wish I could remember his name. We told him how we were looking for things to do and he was more than happy to write down some recommendations for us. I thought that was super nice because I feel like sometimes, at least in the Dells area, it seems like they get tired of us tourists and aren't always as friendly as I feel they should be considering they know they're working in a tourist area. We happened to be sitting next to the lady that does the tours so we thought, awesome, we love seeing old buildings and hearing the history so we signed up! It's $20 per person and about 50-60 mins. It was super cool to see, informative, the lady was friendly, and answered any questions we had. It was pretty amazing to hear that people actually live on the 4th floor, I wasn't expecting that for some reason. After the tour was over she played the large organ for us which was great. We sat down for another beer, listened to the awesome music the bartender was playing and set up our next tour at the Driftless Glen distillery. This was on our list plus it was one of the recommendations from the bartender. If your in the area and looking for something different to do, I highly recommend checking this place out!

I'm more of a spirits guy... their bourbon and rye are top notch as good or better than any boutique distillery you'll find in Ky. The vibe is always great... their service even better.

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!

I lost track of what all we tried but: fae nectar, hurrican't even, cheeky devil, fiesta bear, and tea and tendril. Everything was delicious, went down easy, and reasonable prices. 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!!
