    Cute storefront tasting room in Cedarburg with the distillery in the back. I visited with my mom recently during a festival. They offered a special flight for the event. We very much enjoyed the barrel aged gin. It was excellent and interesting. It's a more citrusy style versus a pure juniper gin. We tried a few of the bourbons, which were vastly different from one another. Our favorite was the port barrel finished bourbon. The space is small, but charming. They also sell by the bottle. Definitely worth a visit.

    Locally owned. Beautiful place. Great tasting liquors. You can get samples and flights. They have cocktails and seasonal cocktails. Clean. Bright. Friendly workers.

    Dirty Gin Martini (made to my exact taste!) bravo ladies.

    I almost didn't want to write this review so it stays low key and special but I can't contain my excitement. The wonderful service and ambiance inside this historic building is something you would expect on the west coast or in a major city. From the moment we walked in, the service was extremely personalized and attentive, but beyond that and what made it so special was how informative it was. Women owned establishments just do it better, I cannot lie. Can't wait to return and do more sampling!

    Stopped in Hamden Distillery for the first time since pre-covid. Such a cute place with nice decor and of course - great drinks. Admittedly, I'm not a big drinker but the berry-berry drink was one of the most refreshing drinks I've ever had. So tasty!! Sweet, but clearly not from artificial flavors where it leaves a bad taste in your mouth. My friends enjoyed their drinks as well - a cranberry drink and bourbon. Will definitely be back!

    Had a girls day in Cedarburg with my girlfriends. We had stopped here while shopping and each had a cocktail. My drink was Gin based and had some pumpkin spice in it. It was perfect for fall and would love to drink many more

    Great space for relaxing

    This is a fantastic local spot that just opened in late 2018. The bourbons were great but we had never tried a barrel aged gin, and that's what we walked away with. Highly recommend for a date night, although they had tables that would probably accommodate a bigger group too. Gluten free-ers should definitely check this out!

    Ton of mixers featuring their award winners. Came and checked it out during Cedarburg Winterfest. It was pretty busy, but the bartenders did a great job. They were polite and checked in after you got your drink to see if everything was good. Place was clean and my Suess themed drink with their barrel aged Whiskey was great! Definitely visit again.

    All of their liquors except the Vodka and Strawberry Liqueur.

    Very nice atmosphere and good customer service. The quality of the alcohol was good but it is a little overpriced.

    We bought several bottles, loved their bourbons and I was delighted to find that I loved their barrel aged gin.

    We came in on a Monday afternoon on our way to errands. We found out Mondays don't offer food…read moreoptions but we sat at the bar to have a couple drinks. I tried the Dreamsicle which was DELICIOUS!!! My boyfriend tried the Gin & Roses which was very good as well and refreshing. We shared the Lavender Bees Knees Slushy! That was the best! Such incredible flavor!!! Kevin was our bartender and also our tour guide for the distillery tour. He was funny and very informative. The history of Milwaukee and growth of the business was really interesting. We enjoyed seeing the distillery and learning and the process. I saw a couple of barrels I am excited to try in the future!! Grape Brandy and Cherry Brandy! At the end of the tour we had a tasting. My favorites were Honey Lemon Vodka, Gin, Cranberry Liqueur, and the Coffee Liqueur. I do not enjoy Bourbons and Rye Whiskey but I will say that the Bond Bourbon was smooth. This was a fun experience and I highly recommend giving this place a visit! I know we will come back again! For Christmas Gifts, or to try more of the fantastic drinks! Oh and to try the future Grape and Cherry Brandy. And we also heard there is a comedy night, so we will look out for Cask Comedy events in the future. Thanks Kevin!

    Good but expensive…read more I am in beer city USA and found this distillery to be quite expensive. They let you sample all of their products for $1 each, or if you buy a bottle the samples are free (as of May 2026). We tried the whiskies, ryes, and bourbons. All were good, but not worth $70 a bottle for what we wanted. They do have sales and some better priced products. However, I was shocked that the bourbon I liked ended up being $70 a bottle. I've had lots of bourbon in my day and I don't think it's worth $70 a bottle. Another one I liked was $50 a bottle which I also think is quite high for the flavor profile and burn. If you want to have fun and sample a bunch, then give it a shot. I wouldn't go out of my way to stop here unless it's in my route. It was good just not great for the price. They also sell pre mixed drinks that were super sugary and not very flavorful.

    After interacting with the GM, I think I may have been a bit too harsh in my original review. It's…read moreentirely possible that I misread the overall tone of the staff, and Andrew took the time to personally reach out and apologize, which felt genuine and deserved to be acknowledged. There's a good chance I'll be back in Milwaukee next year for Summerfest, and I'm looking forward to giving this place another shot. The food looked fantastic, and, honestly, the cocktails and beers we had were already worthy of a few stars. I'm hoping my next visit lives up to how good everything looked.

    Best cheese curds in town!…read more Oh my gosh, this place has the best cheese curds. They were super tasty, had a perfect crunch, and were oh so cheesy. The pork chop was also very good. Full of flavor. Cooked just right. The Brussels sprouts were charred which I like. We enjoyed their whiskey tasting. Of course they have miller on tap which is good. So many drink options to choose from! If you do a tasting, you get a whiskey glass to take home (at least May 2026). I ordered a Wisconsin old fashioned, and they made it taste so good! They offer it sweet (sprite), sour (squirt), or press (not so sweet, I'd say in the middle)? If nothing else, stop in for some cheese curds! This place has so much more to offer than the public market across the way. Don't skip out on this place! Im still dreaming of the Wisconsin old fashioned and those curds!! Most of their ingredients are from local vendors! Even better! That's why everything tastes fresh and good. Oh they have happy hour from 3:20-6:20.
