I am not sure if I have a good grasp on what the difference is between what a good distillery is…read moreand what a bad one is. Reason why I say this is almost each and every time I go to a distillery I enjoy it immensely and almost always shell out five stars for my review of it, four stars minimum. I know a bad brewery when I try one but not so sure with distilleries. So bearing that in mind and if you go off of what the other reviews say for what's posted for Wildrye Distilling you will find as an average that they come in at five stars. So if there are more distillery snobs that came here they gave it a ringing endorsement as well as I am doing. Wildrye looks to be in a newer neighborhood and development of mixed business and housing. It's in a nice corner and it was probably one of the busiest places I went to out of all of the numerous places I stopped at in Bozeman. In fact it was so busy it took a while to get a drink order placed and the bartender informed me as such. So I took a seat and waited and got my order placed after a bit. The bartender was so aware of his customers and gave me a little bit of a discount on my drink for the wait despite me never complaining to him about it which was really nice of him to do! The drink I got was a really good one! It was the Basil Smash. And as the name indicates it is indeed loaded with basil. It was extremely refreshing and so very well made! I could easily have had another but I was starting to get into a time crunch and had to make a few other stops before closure but it was worth the wait and whenever I am passing through Bozeman again I will most certainly return!

We both had the bourbon horse neck beverage with ginger, beer and bitters. The bartender was a local and very friendly and informative about the various offerings. The drink was strong (I know now why Montana law says 2 per person per day!) no food is offered here so just a heads up. All the spirits are distilled in house - not a big place so no need to take a tour can see it all from the bar When I'm Bozeman - add it to the love list

After a very recent trip to Bozeman, Montana and Idaho to stock up on craft beer brands primarily…read morethat can't be obtained in my home state of Washington it was a refreshing change of pace to pick up a mead amongst all the craft beer shopping. Mead is always a nice switch from beer. The flavor and smoothness are just different from the beer we often have. We include ciders in this change of pace also. For Valhalla Meadery I knew fairly quickly about what mead flavor I wanted and that was their Sweet Earl Grey. I have had Earl Grey mead before at a meadery here in Washington and absolutely loved it and so when I saw something similar here I didn't hesitate on what to purchase. And the mead didn't disappoint in any way. It was wonderful! It lived up to it's name being a sweet Earl Grey and I believe was a bit sweeter than the one I had last year here in Washington. But it was a real joy to drink and I would certainly purchase another should I get the chance. The guy I bought it from was super nice and we chatted about my trip some before I proceeded to my next shopping stop in Bozeman. Definitely a place to stop at if you are a mead fan!
