Stopped in for tastings but weren't there for too long since they only have about 4 varieties and…read morewe have already had two of them. :) The tastings are free and we came in for their debut of the Maple liqueur, which is kinda like rum and maple syrup, very tasty. We bought a bottle of this to take home and I overheard them telling a customer about recipes on their website, so I'll have to look a few up. We also tried the maple-coffee liqueur which had a stronger flavor than their other products. The couple next to us really enjoyed this but for us, we'll stick with the other three. We didn't taste the maple shine or their maple bourbon (I'm not actually sure if it's bourbon, but we've gone through a bottle drinking it neat and it's very good), since we've had these two before. Atmosphere- they had a big fan but it was hot in there, no AC. There's a few comfy seats and room to stand at the bar. The wooden bar itself is beautiful and the decor is nice too. This place is great for: -Booking for a private party (if they do that?) -Stopping in quickly for a tasting and to take a bottle home -Sitting down to enjoy a cocktail

This review is about a month late, but had a great experience when I visited Black Squirrel. It's…read morelocated a little bit off the main drag of Elmwood and if you blink you may miss it driving by. The inside was small but well done with a cool custom front bar. The guy working was extremely knowledgable and helpful as we were not familiar with the maple syrup process and what they're making is different than the other distilleries that have opened the past couple of years in Buffalo. Tried the mapleshine and the aged rum spirit. Unique taste to both but very good and both had a bite in their pure form. The highlight were the mixed drinks that were made with homemade simple syrups - this cut the bite a little and brought out the maple flavor. Bought some bottles and hoping to see Black Squirrel at more events and bars.

The ambiance is super cute it doubles as a retail for the spirits they sell as well as beautiful dried flowers and vinyl records. They also have a POOL TABLE one of the only ones in the region!

Do NOT order online from this place. I ordered a Caesar kit from them on Christmas Day. Since it…read morewas the holiday season, I gave them some grace and knew that the shipment would probably take longer than the 1-3 business days that the website states. No big deal, I'm a patient person. Once it hit 10 business days and still no email regarding it being shipped, I sent a quick email. No response. So a few days later, I sent a message through their website. No response. Another email a couple of days later. No response. Finally I call them and am told that Daniel will call me back... I get an email that basically states "Sorry for the delay, I refunded your shipping, it will go out Friday thing Monday morning.". (Huh?! Oof). Again, no tracking number, no contact, no product. I emailed again to ask for a tracking number. No response. It's a month later, and no product. I call again, get a lady who says she will talk to Daniel and call me back. To her credit, she calls me back that day. She says it will be sent Monday, with express shipping, and I should have it by Wednesday. (Ontario to Alberta - doubtful). I ask her to send me a tracking number and she says she will personally call me on Monday with it. Well, you can guess what happened at this point. No call, no email, no product. Now I'm REALLY fed up (like I said, I'm patient, but over a month of getting the run around has finally worn it thin), and why won't the guy in charge even bother to speak with me?! I call back, speak with her again, she says they had three packages returned to them and mine was among them. That makes no sense at all to me, I'd sure like to see what the (non-existent) tracking said on all three of those. She says Daniel will sort it out. NOTHING. We're now into February. I call back, speak to the first gentleman again, he assures me that Daniel will contact me. Righhhht. I wait another week before one more phone call that went unanswered during business hours - they probably have call display. LOL. My next call was to Visa to dispute the charge. The next day I get an email with a short apology stating that he will refund me. No explanation as to why they haven't sent it. Over a week later, on Feb.13th, I finally received a refund. I don't even know if he provided it, or if Visa did... My bet is on Visa. What a joke of a business. Get your act together!

After inquiring how to check in without a host, another guest told us we had to check in at the register and pay for the buffet and any drinks first . The buffet was tasty - the star of the show was the steak and cheese mini bagels . I would have liked the home fries to be also offered without peppers or onions . Also, maybe some bacon . But overall it was a good value . We also ordered a couple cocktails - An Arnold Palmer for me and a maple milky rum drink for dad . Cocktails are priced quite reasonably - although we are more of bourbon fans - no cocktails like that on the menu. The space , is definitely five stars . Rustic decor - inviting patio with yard games and a fire pit . I can imagine it being a great event space , although a bit of a drive away . With that being said , I would check out the venue again if an event was being held there peaked my interest .

I have tasted many kinds of bourbons from all over including the traditional Kentucky bourbons. This bourbon is some of the smoothest I've ever experienced by far.

I highly recommend their craft distilled spirits.

You have the opportunity to go to the restaurant, the hockey rink, tour of the estate, wine tasting classes, and also the cocktail making class. I chose the cocktail making class, and I was highly pleased with the 45min session. The presentation was fun and informative. I like the fact the majority of the ingredients used to make the 3 cocktails are sourced at the Winery/Distillery itself. The cocktails do change every 6 months, so what you may see on their Yelp page maybe different than what you may make. After the class you receive the recipes for the 3 drinks as well as a coupon to be used towards your purchases at their store.

Not sure how much we're able to bring across the border, but even if we have to pay taxes I'm fine with that! It was worth it. Would live to come back in the summer.
