Fun little distillery with a lot of whiskeys, moonshines, and wacky flavours. It's worth a tour and…read moretasting even if it's outside of downtown, and you'll likely find a flavour you hadn't had before (like the pickle moonshine...), although some definitely has an amount of sugar that might make a hangover more likely in your future ;) Personally, I always go for the baby barrel whiskey, because of the depth of the taste despite it being quite young. During the tour they showed us how they used to make the barrels by hand, which is quite insane!

That was a pretty smooth espresso martini for $14 (Photo 10). Actually the official name of the…read morecocktail is Do You Make Espresso Martinis? because people wouldn't expect a whiskey distillery to offer one. However, Wigle does because they produce a wide array of spirits beyond whiskey like the vodka and coffee liqueur in this mix. I depended on YouTube travel vloggers to point me in the direction of this popular distillery bar and cafe in the Strip District. The place was bustling in the middle of the afternoon, and I was lucky to secure the last stool at the bar. The espresso martini drew my eye, and I thought I should have a snack to go with it. I ordered the $12 Devil's Eggvocate. Four deviled egg halves were topped with smoked paprika, pickled jalapeño slices, and bacon jam made with their own coffee liqueur (Photo 9). It was a bit top heavy for me, but then I never reject a deviled egg. If I wasn't driving, I might've considered trying a whiskey tasting, but it just wasn't in the cards.

They currently have some cocktail slushies on the menu for summertime. We got the painkiller - it's really good! Great for a warm day. They have a promo that they posted on IG but it's slightly misleading. It makes it seem like the first round ($12) will get you the cup in addition to your first round and you can get $5 refills thereafter. On the check though, there's a charge for the cup and each charge is also inflated ($5.20 for a refill, and $12 + some change for the first drink - I forget the cents, maybe $12.48). Not sure why they don't just keep the charges flat to match what they posted online. Good drink though!

There are maple, honey, and peach options for those who want a hint of sweetness. I'm a purist, so stayed classic. After the flight, I asked for a Smoked Manhattan after the tasting.

Went for a Friday evening HH and they had fantastic deals on drinks (picture below), only a couple of tables and chairs but a lot of bar seating.

Huge plus is that they also provide free menstrual products in the bathroom as well!

Friday night we visited Country Hammer moonshine's newest location in Ruffs Dale. They have done a…read moregreat job on the building, property, and seating area to make it a really nice place to sit and enjoy a few drinks. It is a very different business model than their usual retail spots in shopping centers. We ordered some of their usual slushees: the adult orange push-up and adult chocolate milk. Just like at their other locations they can add an additional shot to these for additional flavors beyond just the base flavor (and a little extra kick). A new drink that some of our group ordered was the hammered duck. It is a combination of lemonade and snozzberry moonshine with a rubber duck floating on top. It is a nice summer drink and very photogenic! As far as food goes, the only thing we ordered was the salmon dip. It was also very good and served with warm pitas and tortilla chips. We look forward to returning and enjoying more of what Country Hammer has to offer.

Everything on the cocktail menu is fantastic, and it slightly changes seasonally as well. My partner ordered a Love Potion #9, and I ordered a seasonal espresso martini. Both drinks were excellent. The espresso martini at Love Katie has a little cream, which I love. The bartenders at Love Katie are all wonderful, knowledgeable, and kind, and the space is so cute. It would be a great date spot, as they have several board games to play while you sip.

Just visited this cozy distillery over the weekend! My mom and I wanted to stop by and sample their…read morefall cocktail specials (which they'd advertised at an event earlier in the month). We went on a Sunday afternoon so we were able to find street parking directly across from the distillery (no small feat in Sharpsburg). The initial bar/lounge interior was small and cozy and admittedly noisy, but signs said they had a patio so none of that deterred us. My mom ordered a Pumpkin Martini, and I ordered their Grilled Peach Whiskey Sour. Both were as delicious as they sound, I promise. The Grilled Peach Whiskey Sour was especially dangerous - with the added sweet and fruity flavors, I could barely tell that I was drinking whiskey! We also peeked at a food menu (you can order food for pickup at a restaurant within the same block), but we didn't order any food this time around. The previously mentioned patio is behind the distillery and you have to walk through the rest of the building to get to it - so past the bathrooms, past some of their equipment and work space, etc. The actual patio space is pretty cute though, and is covered; that was very appreciated on a sunny afternoon. My only regret about my visit is that we only had time to enjoy one drink (my mom and I went later in the day due to other scheduling conflicts)! The drink menu itself is massive; if it were earlier in the day I absolutely would have spent more time sampling things. I could easily see myself stopping in for early drinks and then heading to Redhawk Coffee afterward. I'll definitely be back again; this place is a delicious and delightful gem worth crossing some bridges to visit!

The event price included welcome drinks, a large spread of charcuterie, tour and a guided tiki-themed cocktail making class where we made 2 drinks. The women leading the tour was so genuinely passionate. It was so interesting to hear her explain the brewing process with such enthusiasm. Shes a valuable employee that made the experience memorable. I enjoyed learning about how the company has come up, from its beginnings. Great to see the whole process of making the vodka from dehydrated potatoes to the waxing of the bottles. The products by Boyd and Blair are delicious and quality. Their distribution and award accolades are seriously impressive. I really loved getting hands on and making interesting cocktails. The teacher was informative and helpful, creating a fun and dynamic class. I learned a lot and am now intrigued to try more at home cocktail making. I will be shopping for some of the tools, bitters and ingredients that we used during class. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable and friendly. Great dynamic experience I would recommend to anyone. I would be interested to trying a different themed class in the future.
