Amanda's energy and passion was outstanding. The tour was about 45 minutes and includes a tasting flight. Since I do not drink bourbon, they allowed my to substitute a drink. There were so many options that I was interested in trying, but after discussing what I like with Amanda, she suggested the Lavender Haze. The lavender syrup is made in house and was sweet, with a floral taste . The drink was excellent. They have open mic nights and live music. They are expanding into the adjacent space in the next few months. It was interesting to hear all of the logistics involved in moving equipment into the new space. We will be back !

Looking at other postings, it appears that they change cocktails regularly which is fun. I tried one of their vodka cocktails and it was tasty. Cocktails are priced between $10-$14. I asked to sample their other vodka prior to purchasing a bottle to go. At time of review they had a dill pickle vodka (surprisingly tasty!, good for bloody marys) and a horseradish vodka (not a fan) Service was super friendly. They also have some non-alcoholic options. It was a little dark coming up the drive at night. I will definitely return.

The bartender was personable and patient, while we decided which cocktail to select. They do offer food with many of the ingredients grown on the premises. This was such a pleasant surprise and would definately return.

We stopped in on a Saturday since we had a Groupon tasting coupon. We did a tasting of their Vodka,Gin,Agave and Whiskey. The Vodka was very smooth as well was the Gin. The botanicals used in their Gin made it delicious. I'm not a fan of Gin but I liked this one so much I purchased a bottle to go. I didn't try their Agave but my wife loved it with a lime wedge. I have had their Whiskey before and it is very good..95 proof. They will release their first Bourbon in November.I can't wait to try it. They offer a nice selection of crafted cocktails but not food options. Their is a nice Bistro tho across the street. From a local farm,this family has turned their corn and wheat into fantastic spirits. Definitely a place to visit.

I appreciate that the place is dog friendly too. The owners and staff here are fantastic and make you feel immediately welcomed. They take time to educate you on their selections and share some of the unique history of this place. I enjoyed the bourbon, on ice, very much, and also tried a shot of amaretto and a tequila. I will definitely be back to try more of their spirits, as everything I tried was smooth, flavor filled, and just left me wanting more! Thank you, Spirit Water, and Funnier By The Lake Comedy, for a memorable Friday night experience.

The Amaretto Stone Sour (receipt said 10 oz for $12 - it was more like 5 ounces) & Vodka Elderflower ($6) were both very good. They also sell spirits by the bottle, hats & other items. Great place to pick up something local! The place doesn't appear to serve food and they have a couple seating areas away from the bar both inside & outside where you congregate with friends. I will admit I had a tough time picking just one drink to have so I will be back!
