I originally got the spicy pickle drink and it was a little too spicy for me. The waitstaff noticed I was nursing it a little too hard and offered me a new drink & to take the spicy drink off the tab! Such a nice gesture that came as a surprise. I ended up getting their tzaziki drink which was DELICIOUS and so unique too! The German shepherd that wanders around the bar is so cute and friendly as well. The burgers at the food truck looked amazing, but unfortunately we had just eaten. Will definitely be back next time I'm in the area!

The tasting room is actually a house on a hill- with great views of the mountains and valley. There is indoor and outdoor seating available- but honestly weather permitting- the outside is the place to be! They have a nice selection of bourbon from which they offer flights. They also have some craft cocktails. We tried the bourbon margarita- what a unique combination and it was very good. The staff were pleasant and knowledgeable. We enjoyed our margaritas and a shared flight outside on Adirondack chairs enjoying the views. Our take home purchase was a bottle of their bottled in bond bourbon which has a very flavorful profile with hints of caramel.

We did two tastings and the tasting boards were nice. It's not much of a location to hang in- just one room so our loud group kind of took over. They have a few cocktails too which were tasty (one with chai and cardamom was nice). No TVs or food while we were there but if you happen to be driving in the area the bourbons and prices were good.

It is not a destination place. I am a fan of wineries and breweries that have a bit of ambiance and history to them. This is not one of those places. Upon arrival I wasn't sure if there was a tasting room or not. It looks like a warehouse with no defined parking and no "warmth" to bring customers in. The tasting room has space for 8 people and can be filled with 5. The tasting room is more like a converted office with the expected customer to be a distributor. I asked the server about the history or what makes their whiskey different from others. The answer was "We are between a micro distillery and a large manufacturer." I was hoping for something like grandpas recipes or locally sourced grains but I got nothing. I look for places to be and enjoy a drink with friends. This is not one of those places. This is a sample it, but it, and get out place.

It's soft purple color and glimmery sheen made it almost too pretty to drink! I can't wait to return for cocktails and test out new menus as they move into new seasonal menus!

The staff was very nice and accommodating. We had a larger party of 9. We were instantly greeted and given water without asking. We tried different flights. All of their liquor and mixed drinks had different flavors in it which I wasn't used to. For example some may have vanilla, pineapple, etc. When I have gone to distilleries typically you only get flavor from the barrels not like infusions. So I wasn't used to that. The customer service was great though and D was extremely patient with the party that I was with.

We bought three bottles total. The lady helping us with the tastings was super awesome and friendly. There was one guy singing country music solo who I really liked. He did a great job (wish I remembered his name!). The view was pretty good too, and we ended up sitting there for probably an hour or two, drank a whole bottle, and took two more to go. Overall everything was good and we had a fantastic afternoon! The only weird part was when another lady came up behind the one helping us and said "no more tasting" right in the middle of it. We'd only tasted three wines (sharing the samples), and we ended up buying bottles of those -- but my wife wanted to try something bold/rich red too. The interruption stopped us short, so she wasn't happy about it and it kind of threw Lili off. Honestly though, it didn't ruin our day at all, the bottle a we bought were good. Still highly recommend - great spot, great wines, and we'll definitely go back when we're in the area as my wife loves winerys!
