They distill several spirits and sell them by the bottle for purchase. They ONLY serve the Bloody Mary's on Sunday. It is a welcoming place with staff that enjoys what they do.

It's cozy and quaint with a nice outside patio area and live music. Dogs are welcomed outside. Food truck of island noodles was outside which was amazing! They also allow food from outside vendors to enjoy while you drink. As for the drinks, they are really awesome! The hoyts gin is my favorite and made locally. Definitely make time to check out this spot. It's fairly new but so worth it! People are great, the drinks are amazing and the vibe is everything!

My wife & I tried the flight (which comes with a free shot glass) and endes up taking a bottle of Vodka home.

Highly recommend swinging for a drink if your in the area!

The ambiance is a bit on the darker side but welcoming and waitress/ bar staff are attentive. Keep in mind there is no food or snacks. This is a good place to go pre-/post-dinner.

If you're lucky enough to get a few minutes to chat with him, you'll see exactly what I mean. The whisky is outstanding and must be tried. This distillery is a combination of Ernie and Mark hard work and dedication as well as Ernie personally lobbying the State of Ohio to allow these products to flow. I can't say enough good about this place and the great Americans running it.

Edwin Coe's Spirits (north of Churubusco on 33) - a nice place for a couple or small group to go…read moreand relax I'm sharing a lesser known secret to those that like relax in a peaceful atmosphere that has unique food & drink offerings. Edwin Coe's is located north of Busco on 33. They make unique spirits there in this country setting. The place is a bit small but wide open. They have vintage style furnishings that are comfortable. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. Edwin Coe's can be popular in the warmer months when there is live music. Otherwise, it is not very busy - even on a Friday or Saturday evening prime time. This makes EC a great place to meet a group of 4-8 people. Especially if you want to sit and talk or play some table games. We've been many times and always had a good experience. I have attached drink and food menus so you know what they have. EC makes most of their own alcohol. They have a very innovative menu of drink offerings. Many are very attractive...and all tasty! The food menu is very narrow. It isn't "bar food" and comes at a moderate cost. All food is made in their on site kitchen - as they used to host the Fork and Fiddle food truck. Food has a bit of gourmet flair while keeping the breadth of selections fairly basic/popular. Give Edwin Coe Spirits a try - especially if you have a small group that likes to relax and socialize.

They offer a tour (well worth the $20 price tag) that starts out with a yummy adult bevvie and takes you through their distilling process, rickhouse, bottling, and event spaces. Our tour guide, Michael, was very personable and fun and made the tour quite entertaining. Loved the little stories along the way. Highly recommend - we'll be back again as we enjoy distillery tours and usually have to go to Kentucky for good ones like this.

The inside space is small but inviting and they have outdoor seating for nice days. I tried the Cucumber Basil Gimlet and it was so refreshing.

You can buy the bottles to go and they would make great gifts. The Jalapeño Pants was a really tasty spicy cocktail with a flavorful tahin/salt rim and featuring their fall gin.

Or be here at a normal time for normal reasons, haha. Cocktails are always decent, though maybe a bit overwrought and on the sweet side. Can't say I can always taste all the ingredients they put in. Sometimes simple can be best. The N/A watermelon spritz I had didn't have much flavor. Could have used less spritz, I guess. Today specifically we came for the Tacos El Panda truck; they have great birria and we fancied a cocktail as well. In the past we also enjoyed the Juicy Oyster truck.
