BRAVO ZULU! Had a wonderful educational experience with Paolo. This man knows the ins and outs of everything Holystone Distilling. His exceptional knowledge and inviting friendliness created a wonderful outing with my girlfriend before heading to dinner. Could not reccomend enough if you're in the Salt Lake area. As someone who has been in the industry 20 plus years I highly reccomend Paolo for the informational guided tour and taste testing. read more

Absolutely amazing! Paolo was great, super kind and knowledgeable. The actual tasting room and liquor store part are STUNNING. Great flavor profiles with some really cool twists, would HIGHLY recommend the experience! read more

Paulo, our tour guide was amazing!! Give this man a raise, and a name tag! The ambiance is amazing, Paulo told us this was Barbie's doing setting the mood. Kudos, as an antique/vintage collector, I was in heaven! The charcuterie selection was a great pair with the alcohol we tried. My favorite was the cerulean butterfly gin, and was thrilled to find out that some of the proceeds go towards Breast Cancer awareness. We learned so much on this tour, and it was a great gift for my brother's 21st birthday. We bought the tour through Groupon, and it was super affordable. Thank you again for the awesome tour, 10/10 recommend! read more

Holystone Distilling - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Salt Lake City, Utah

Visit. This. Place. My wife and I love touring distilleries and have been everywhere from Kentucky's Bourbon Trail to the Ocean facility in Maui. Oddly enough, until we visited Holystone yesterday, we hadn't been to one right here in our back yard. Austin gave us a wonderful, informative tour, explaining this history of the brand and their unique, small-batch distilling process. Afterwards, he provided a delightful tasting experience, and even took care to provide vegan pairings for the different products. We enjoyed our tour so much and fell in love with the Holystone line in the process. read more

Touring the distillery was lots of fun! Highly recommend. Bring your friends (up to 8!) lots of love and pride here. I'll definitely be returning! read more

I came here just after they opened and I've been back multiple times since. Things are much more professional now. That's good, although I enjoyed the more casual visits early on. The regular alcohols match the caliber of the big boutique names. It's easy to support because it's not an inferior product. There are not many local distilleries I've say that about. I was here to get the Shochu today. It's fantastic. I've loved the Absinthe since introduction. The Navy strength Gin is a great option to experiment with. This is a short review. They don't need more. read more

I am an industry professional managing the bar for a fine dining restaurant in the area. I work with Holystone on a regular basis, they are fantastic to work with on the B2B side. I have also had friends and family attend numerous tastings. The location is small and intimate, tastings are done in the room spirits are made, a true example that great spirits don't take a lot of space to make. Nestled in the heart of Salt Lake City, its easy to get to from any place you are staying and is well worth the trip. Holystone is one of the many AMAZING distilleries putting Utah on the global map for making some of the best spirits you can find. If you are a fine of Empress Gin, then I highly recommend Holystone Cerulea its both smoother and packed with more flavor. read more

OH MY! HIDDEN GEM ALERT!!!!! Through pure serendipity (actually, a Yelp search!) I found this bougie, delicious, mysterious local distillery. You can book a distillery tour, or a tasting tour - I did the latter. The outside looks like absolutely nothing, but when you walk in you are transported into a mystical upscale sitting room straight out of the 1920s, complete with antique decor and tall, slender Art Deco bottles of liquor. When you book a private tour, Ray takes you and your party through an antique vault door into a tall room with whiskey barrels, shiny chrome and copper distilling tubes and towers, beakers, glasses, a bar counter, and more antique chairs. Then you go up a staircase into ANOTHER private sitting room with a window that looks down on the distilling room - but it's dark and quiet, decorated carpet to crown molding with impeccable antique furniture, artwork, and crystal drinkware. There was a small charcuterie board prepared when I got there, and a large pitcher of water (which I was really glad for!) Ray also has experience as a bartender and she is a mixologist, she can give you all the hottest tips on mixed drinks and other locally made mixers! I tried their grape based vodka, two types of gin, shochu, and absinthe. Ray went through the story of the local distillery and its owners, the roots of the names, where they source their ingredients, and what the liquors pair well with. They were very strong, very delicious, extremely mixable! I absolutely cannot wait to cocktail with these! And now I'm noticing their liquors are everywhere in use in other local businesses. My personal favorites were the Cerulea gin and Apparition absinthe. What an amazing experience, I'm ready to go back! EXCELLENT! Tip: EAT something before you come to a tasting, you will be sipping liquor here. Another tip: Because of Utah liquor laws you can't book a distillery tour and a tasting tour all in one. Both are very affordably priced and it will give you an excuse to come back! P.S. Bottles for sale downstairs! read more

Out of the winery and distillery tours we've done all over our travels, this is definitely the most thoughtful. I don't want to give anything away because you need to do the tour! I loved their spirits but now I love them more learning the details behind the brand. Also, I'm not a spirits expert by any means, but for us they're the best vodka and gin we've had. read more

This place is absolutely phenomenal. We did a tour and tasting for date night and had the most amazing time. As a Navy brat I loved all the nods to the Navy and had to get my Dad a couple bottles. The whole experience is about 45 min to an hour if you need to plan around dinner reservations. They provide some SUPER yummy charcuterie that pairs amazing with the different spirits they offer throughout the tasting. My absolute favorite was the Shochu, it was SO smooth, but most of them were! We loved how informative our tour/tasting guide was, she was super friendly and knowledgeable and could answer all of our questions. We can't wait to visit this place again and share our new found favorites with friends and family. read more

I would give them 10 Stars! Barbie is so wonderful and the spirits are top tier. I booked a tour for my bestie and I and the whole experience was wonderful. My favorite part of the experience was hearing the stories behind each spirit and seeing the love that goes into each bottle. Thank you Barbie for inviting us into your space and letting us be part of the magic. We will be back! read more

I cannot say enough good about the phenomenal experience we had during our time at Holystone! When I read that one of their standards was to be "ENCHANTING" I thought to myself....they hit the nail on the head.....hard! We were blown away and truly enchanted by everything from the stunning, detail oriented decor (Art Deco, 20's Navy ship engine room, etc.) to the delicious spirits that danced across our tongues. I'm a Gin fan and their Navy-strength Gin is the best that I've had......(57% btw) and this is the first time I've tried my fiancee's favorite....Absinthe (61.5%) which was delicious! Ethan (one of the owners) was so charming and informative. It really was the best date night we could've asked for. Check them out!! read more

A true surprise !! Holystone Distillery in Murray, Utah is a "must see to appreciate" . The Decor is a step back in time and soooo classy. We enjoyed a private tasting as well as a tour. Their sprits are wonderful and crafted that wont disappoint !! Make your reservations !!!! "Thank you" to Barbie and Michael for everything ! Hope Gillis California read more

What an incredible experience. The entire distillery is themed around mariner times, with subtle nuances of early 20th century Americana and naval design. The tastings were delicious and expertly paired with a diverse charcuterie board of chocolates and cheeses. Barbie (the co-owner) was my host and explained how the blue gin changes to pink when citrus is added, being in support of breast cancer awareness. There are too many details to write in one review, but my experience was so memorable, and I would recommend this distillery to anyone in the area looking to try local gin or vodka. read more
