I did enjoy it, but was only there about 10 minutes, and I'd just need to go back and spend more time. Anyway, I was visiting nearby and saw this on the map and rode a bike over. Really cool little drinking "court" inside the garden shop. Cool ambience and vibe. I was there early on a Sunday and was the only one there, but I liked the feel of the place. Service was friendly. I tried one beer and got a 4 pack of the distillery's fairy root beer to go. (Fairy Root beer = their house made absinthe + their house made root beer). I am not a big fan of absinthe (the licorice notes), but I had to try this. The two elements go really well together, and I must say the combo grew on me, the more I drank it. The distillery and brewery here sell their different items for purchase, beers and spirits. I would have bought more items, but I had limited space in my suitcase. If I lived nearby, I would be back. Best of luck to the businesses here.

They don't rely on drinks and vibe alone though, the service is what really makes this place special. Every server we have had has been attentive, fun, and sweet, and really transforms this into a "third space" that Windsor benefits from as a community. If you're lucky you may even get a visit from Rajah, the Queen (aka, shop kitty). Please just make sure you check the hours before you go - they aren't really open the hours you might expect for a brewery/distillery. We've had a few disappointing evenings rolling up after work to find out that they were already closing. It's worthwhile to find the time while they are open to visit!

While the menu is somewhat limited, it's clear they focus on quality over quantity. Whiskey is, of course, the main attraction, but for those looking for something different, their Dry Town Gin or Vodka provide great alternatives. The prices are on the higher side, especially considering the smaller portions, but the convenience and ambiance make it worthwhile. The house salad was a standout--light, fresh, and paired perfectly with a honey vinaigrette that wasn't too heavy, making it an ideal choice for a happy hour snack. If you're looking for a cozy, somewhat upscale place to grab a drink and a bite before heading to an event, this distillery is worth checking out!

We mainly came for a drink or flight, but also added the snack mix; we had 3 bowls to share. We also were given carafes of water. We knew ahead of time that the Honey Smoked Old Fashioneds were quite good, so a few of us ordered them. We watched them being made at the bar next to us and they are able to smoke 4 at once using what looks like a cake stand with glass dome. They were indeed quite tasty. I also tasted a friend's Bourbon Margarita. I'd never heard of this cocktail but was interested. Again, tasty. A few of us purchased bottles of Old Elk to go. They gave golden elk bottle pours as a bonus (really nice).

In addition to their whiskey drinks, they also offer vodka and gin based drinks. Their tasting room can only seat a few people but it's super charming. They also have a small patio area outside.

I didn't expect this to taste very good given the combo, but it was excellent. - Beet down- Not sure what all went into this- gin, beet juice, maybe some lemon and tarragon? IDK, but the final product was beautiful and delicious. I wish I could recreate this at home. - Rosemary's baby greyhound- love the clever name and love this drink. Fresh grapefruit, clean vodka, rosemary, and maple syrup to sweeten just a bit. Wow. All the drinks are served on good ice- big cubes or cool spheres. Perfect place for sitting at the patio on a sunny day. Highly recommend!

After meeting these lovely and passionate distillers at a Yelp event I was ecstatic to finally…read morevisit them on their home turf. With a friend in tow we strolled the Skunk Creek path - enjoying the sounds of the creek and the sereneness of the road less traveled. Although the path system is fantastic in town I don't often find myself on it (mostly for fear of pedestrians/strollers/skateboarders while riding my bike on the Boulder Creek path, but that's another story). In no time at all (ok I admit this is Sasha speak for any distance up to or around 1mile - a girl's gotta get those Fitbit steps in somehow!) we found ourselves at J&L. While approaching we could see there was a tour in the works and walked around the side of the building to the tasting room entrance. Ascending the stairs up to the tap room we noted a great outdoor space with several picnic tables outfitted with umbrellas (fantastic for those post hike libations). Inside we were delighted at the open yet cozy feel. We chose a couple of bar stools and took a load off. Nibbling on a bowl of pretzels we contemplated the creative cocktail menu. As my friend and I are both holders of the Boulder Passport http://www.boulderpassport.com) we relished in the fact that we'd be in the establishment for awhile enjoying not one but two libations; after all we had a lot of catching up to do. This was my friend's first experience with J&L and she was tickled that the bartender was happy to provide her with samples of their liquors. In the end she chose a Beet Cocktail while I went for the Palisade Peach Pie - great choices on both counts. While sipping our cocktails we noted that the tour was still in full force and we enjoyed glimpses of the group through a viewing window in the tasting room. Once the tour commenced the group found their way in to the tasting room as did the tour provider who happened to be one of the distillery founders. One of my favorite things about J&L (aside from the FYR liquor) is how approachable and open the staff are. I always find it to be a special experience when business owners take the time to not only interact but engage with their customers. I look forward to returning for a tour as well as sharing this great spot with more friends.

It doesn't look like much at first and the space is small, but it has a cozy, upscale but laidback feeling, which is very inviting.

The bartender we had was Mo and Sebastian the creator and owner, was there was well. I have a histamine intolerance so can only imbibe clear alcohols every so often and Sebastian was very helpful and knowledgeable about what I should avoid.
