    It was so good, we walked out of there with two bottles, their Kooper Family rye (our very…read morefavorite) and their Sweetheart if the Rodeo bourbon (90 proof blended bourbon whiskey). Both are quite drinkable neat. But we also had fun making old fashioneds with both, as well. At just $45 a bottle, it's a heck of a deal. So much better than most is the $50 to $80 whiskeys we buy. Plus, as an added bonus, the Kooper family is very hospitable, informative, fun to hang out with at the bar, and they offer nice tastings at a great price ($16 for three pours), which allows you to determine which bottle is your favorite. You can't get that experience or that level of service at any liquor store! If you find yourself within an hour of this place, you need to visit! While you're in town, checkout the big antique store in Giddiness and have lunch or dinner at Los Patrones. Giddings will soon become one of your favorite towns.

We stopped in today on our way back to Austin from Galveston (4th of July) & I walked in at 6:02, RIGHT after they closed. Although we didn't have time for drinks, I asked if I could get a bottle, & she was happy to stay open a few more minutes for me. She even let me sample a couple because I was indecisive. I realize that was her time off I was cutting into, & I really appreciated it. I didn't catch her name, but it probably won't be hard to figure out who it was. She was so friendly! Thanks again!

    This distillery is open from 11 to 6 on Saturdays only. We got here at 2 PM on a Saturday and it…read morewas closed with no one inside. How can you not be open just on that one weekend day when people have the time to visit? We drove all the way down from Austin to sample their wares and purchase a bottle or two. So if you plan on visiting on a Saturday, you had better call first or face the possibility of disappointment. Plan B is to visit the copper shot distillery in Bastrop.

The club along with friends from Dallas and San Antonio headed east after the Texas Independence Day Parade. Libation education started at Derelict Airship AKA Violet Crown Spirits just west of Bastrop. You've hear of strip mall chic? Think business park chic! Quite similar to my friends over at Desert Door in Driftwood. Matt was an excellent host explaining the history behind each of their offerings. Let's start with Absinthe. Banned for many years in the US and parts of Europe, small batch distilleries have been popping up in the US since 2007. The anise flavor is quite strong and it's recommended you cut it with water. I've heard sugar cubes are common as well. Other in house offerings include an Elderflower and Jasmine Liqueur. Girlfriend and I's personal favorite was the Jasmine and we took home a bottle to pair up with other local spirits. A top notch experience from start to finish. Our group is excited to see this company grow. See y'all soon!

This is in the downtown area and it was a nice stroll from where we parked. We saw on Yelp that this place had a very good overall score average so we definitely made a point to get there. And it most certainly did not disappoint in the slightest. I got the Texas Honey Mule which has honeyed whiskey, lime juice and ginger beer. It was so, so good. I do love Moscow Mules anyway but the fact that they had a small menu of different ones was great to see! This drink Steve and I shared and we both enjoyed it immensely. The atmosphere is really cool with the exposed brick walls, decor and the distilling tanks. All of that and the drink had Copper Shot Distillery slide in easily with another five star review.

The place has inside and outside seating and the atmosphere has a rustic vibe to it. There is a small stage for live music and I recommend the various selections of Old Fashions at the Cigar Bar. The customer service is great and the business is always clean. So if you are looking for a great spot for drinks and good quality time then look no further.

    I came here from out of town for my niece's wedding reception, and arrived two hours late. I…read morestrolled into the well-packed distillery, down a very nicely kept downtown type of area, and upon rolling to the back looking around, an employee noticed me and asked if I was with the wedding party. I'm in a powered wheelchair and the employee, Bobby, was nice enough to take me up a classy freight elevator to the second floor, where the reception was being held. It was a nice area, furnished with a lot of wood and lights. The reception had set up a nice buffet, and 200 drink tokens had been set aside for guests, although by the time I got there they had been used up. My girlfriend and I got a gin & tonic, and a vodka tonic, for about 11$ each, with both the gin, vodka, and tonics being brewed in house. They were very tasty, although maybe not 11$-tasty. Overall it was a lovely location for a wedding reception, the staff were helpful and friendly, and the drinks were good if just a tad pricey.

The bartenders are so knowledgeable they can walk you through the entire menu. They will let you do a little tastings. The distillery also does tours during the day, but I guarantee you the bartenders here can help you find a drink that you will like and they will also walk you through mock tails if you are alcohol free. Endless amounts of seating are available for large groups, small groups. This is so perfect for a birthday party graduation date night a fun thing to do during the day if you're going to take a tour. The cocktails are seasonal with such fun names. This is such a cool gem, so glad I got to visit.
