North of 7 will offer whiskey in 2017 but until then, the existing products are terrific: I bought a bottle of gin and another of vodka three days ago. Imagine buying a bottle of top-quality stuff for half the price of the same quality vodka or gin at the LCBO! They know their stuff and won't disappoint Ottawa. I'm proud to buy my quality spirits here.

I'm also happy with the product. :-) Love seeing local businesses succeed - and I think this one is well on its way to doing so. Would I recommend: Yes Would I return: Yes

Came here after Windmill closed for the day. The man who was working in the distillery was really…read morefriendly, I think he was probably the distiller. He walked us through how their distillery works and how the grains are locally sourced. They have quite a few options and some very unique options like Garlic Vodka and Ginger Vodka. The different gins were great to taste side by side as well as tasting the whiskey side by side. Their canned vodka coolers are delicious, we coudn't leave without buying some. We walked away really enjoying the experience and the craft alcohols. Had to get a few bottles to take home, and the mini bottles are a great option with the 4 pack for $40. I had to get the garlic vodka, it is just so unique and he suggested using it in a Caesar or Bloody Mary, so we will try that.

Well, this was a surprise! We went to the Windmill Brewery next door, not realizing there was a…read moreseparate entity - a distillery sharing the same site. We initially went into the brewery for a few cans, and ended up taking a peek next door at this distillery as well, where we found out that they use local farm-grown ingredients to distill vodka and rum, and we got a tour of the facility although they are not distilling anything at the moment. Fascinating! The equipment is large; I can't imagine trying to do this on the QT during prohibition!! We we offered samples of their organic rum, a vodka cooler, as well as garlic flavoured vodka!! This was amazing!! We took some home, and I will for sure cook with it! This place (and the brewery next door) was certainly worth the visit. We will be back... once we get low on what we purchased!

Dunrobin Distilleries is a small-batch artisan distillery. In addition to regular spirits, they…read morehave spirits infused with creative flavours, bitters and coolers/"ready to drink cocktails." They currently have an Earl Grey infused Gin with Butterfly Pea Flower in it which gives it a cool blue/purple colour ($49.85 for 750ml). I believe their infused spirits are usually limited run, as we gifted some Hibiscus Gin last year from Dunrobin Distilleries and can't seem to find it anymore. I'm not a big drinker, but I do like to create my own cocktails and the spirits at Dunrobin Distilleries are perfect for that. I haven't tried their bitters but they have interesting flavours such as Celery and Black Walnut. I like that they are small and local and use local ingredients when they can, and when they can't they source from sustainable and non-GMO farms.

Cool location. Loved the look. Very clean. Outdoor area seems nice. Bar at the back was cool. I…read moreenjoy their concept. I knew from prior Vodkow LCBO purchases that their product is fantastic but very high in price. I bought 5 small coffee creamers to take home. My faves are original and coffee flavored. The others to me are too sweet but, personal choice. The employees could have notched this up a star but none of them appeared to want to be there and were not engaging. I went to Almonte as this was my destination place. I found many other cool stops along the way to justify my trip/ gas! I'd go back for sure to sip something on the patio with my pup. Maybe it was an off day.

First off, their website is odd. Not much information, quite confusing, sometimes it won't even load (on mobile device), so if you're trying to make a reservation, call them directly. Location, beautiful, along the river, great outdoor seating. I'm sure dinner and sunset is stunning. Good, it was okay. We ordered kids breakfast, huevos rancheros skillet thing, chicken and waffles, biscuit and gravy, and the whisky flight. The huevos ranchero was good, nothing to rave over but good. The chicken and waffles didn't come with syrup at first, I'm sure it was a mistake. The biscuit and gravy... looked amazing, but the biscuits were hard. Like rock hard, and even after sitting in the gravy, no moisture would come back. Haha Service... the lady was so sweet, but she kept forgetting us, she would place hot things right in front of the baby where she would easily grab it. She had a hard time splitting the bill. Ultimately we had to ask another waitress for water refill and splitting our bill. Maybe we will go back... but not in a rush.
