    Old-fashioned
    Ben K.

    We've been to this spot's neighbor more times than I can count, and we finally decided to stop in to this distillery over the weekend! Such a cool vibe, passionate staff, and yummy cocktails. Can't wait to add this one to our regular rotation when we make the trek out to St. Paul! As you arrive, you walk into a big space with tables, and in our case, some live music. You have to walk through the main sitting room to find the bar, tucked in the back of the space. The bar wasn't too busy on a Saturday afternoon, so we were able to make some playful banter with the bartenders, got their recommendations, and ultimately gave them creative license to show us what they wanted! I ended up with an Old Fashioned, made with their in-home Rye Whiskey. Perfectly spirit-forward, with all the lovely joys of an Old Fashioned. Definitely one of the better ones I've had in St. Paul. Can't wait to come back and check out the other spirits they have to offer!

    My buddies and I joined a 40 person bus tour of St. Paul that went over the history of beer in St. Paul and one of the stops was the new distillery in the old Hamm's building where Flat Earth Brewing also resides. The owners came out and explained how they decided to start the business and the history of MN 13 corn, which was started by the U of M. They want to start a rise of MN 13 style White Whiskey. They gave us a sample of the white whisky. Super warming and tasty. They also gave us a sample of a mai tai made with the stuff as well. Great stuff! I really hope these guys succeed. They are opening up a tasting room in the old Hamm's blacksmith shop next to the distillery. It should be super cool!

    A variety of great seasonal drinks.  Known for their whiskey- but I think their gin is the bees knees!

    Unbelievable. This place is truly magical…read more It has such a perfect mix of a relaxed, chill vibe while still feeling elevated enough to dress up and make a night out of it. The space itself is beautiful with a really cozy ambiance, and the patio is a great option when the weather is nice. The drinks are absolutely the star of the show. You can tell there is so much intention behind both the flavors and the presentation. The cocktail menu is super creative, and the Old Fashioned menu alone is phenomenal with so many unique options. The Beorn Old Fashioned was my favorite. We also tried the Payanello (pineapple, lime, ginger, pickled jalapeño) and it was incredible. Food was fantastic as well. The brussels sprouts were so good and a must order. Service was amazing. Our server was so kind, helpful, and gave great recommendations, which made the whole experience even better. It is on the pricier side, especially for drinks, but honestly worth it for the quality and experience. Reservations are easy to make and I would definitely recommend booking ahead. Parking was manageable when we went, but I could see it getting tricky during busier times. Overall, such a beautiful, thoughtfully done space with incredible drinks, great food, and top tier service. A perfect spot for a night out or just grabbing a cocktail and soaking in the vibe.

    Visiting stops on the distillery passport and spent an afternoon at O'Shaughnessy. I had been here…read morebefore for a couple of events, but never just a regular experience. Inside is beautiful, with leather and wood everywhere. It's a large space, but still feel cozy. Since they specialize in whiskey, that is the base for many cocktails; I actually think that 90% of the cocktail list is whiskey of some form. We also tried a spice bag, which was phenomenal! One of those things I loved so much, I'll probably get it every time I go now. If you're looking for a great place to try some great cocktails, OS Distillery is the place for you!

    We went to Norseman for a pre-dinner appetizer and spirit tasting. Overall it was a good experience…read morebut could have been smoother overall. It seemed that there was not enough staff with only two servers covering the floor and that resulted in some pretty long waits before we could put our order in or get the check etc. It did gar a fun vibe where people could hang out, grab a bite and a chill drink. The menu does appear to change out every week which was confusing and also meant that the menu we found in their website was different so some plans had to change. If you are looking for something specific or having a tight agenda may not be the place for you but if you are okay to just hang out and go with whatever is in front of you then no issue!

    We took the classic cocktail workshop and had David as our mixology professional. David was great,…read morevery obviously passionate about mixology. He highlighted the importance of so many aspects of making cocktails that we had never thought of before. For the class you make 4 cocktails: margarita, old fashioned, gimlet, and Negroni. David walked us through everyone and we had an absolute blast. The class also comes with snacks (thankfully!!). We had a pepperoni pizza, their mushroom pizza, and the salmon dip and they were all 5 out of 5 amazing! I'd absolutely come back just for good and drinks. I would absolutely recommend this class!

    @skaalvenndistillery in Brooklyn Park, Mn…read more I've been here several times but it's been a hot sec since my last visit. Trust me, every experience is new and rewarding. The work, creativity, flavors, and cultural integration that goes into each cocktail makes the experience so memorable. I will say, the on top, is the interaction with the staff every time I go. If you want a unique first time experience, that will make you want to keep coming back, check out Skaalvenn! @tysonschnit and @mrs.skaalvenn are the passionate and amazing owners/distillers. Through the years @metaldave77 @ragealienmixology and @chase.heck.5 have made each experience more incredible! They have an assortment of cocktails, n/a cocktails, bar snacks, bottles of their spirits to go (also in stores), and merch! I picked up a bottle of their Habanero Rum! Cocktails: Special from @chase.heck.5 - "Corvo Bianco CPT": vodka, lavender syrup, grains of paradise, gooseberry, lemon, lavender smoke @ragealienmixology describes it well in the last video. A tribute to Yennefer from the Witcher series. Special from @metaldave77 - "Draugr": cranberry, aquavit, habanero rum, tepache, lingonberry, tart cherry, orange juice, cranberry juice A wonderful Mexican-Norwegian fusion cocktail Can't wait for my next visit! #skaalvenndistillery #supportsmallbusiness

    The distillery: We booked a private tour/tasting at Studio…read moreDistillery recently with some friends and were not disappointed. Our tour guide, one of the owners, gave a very informative and comprehensive tour of their entire distilling process. The tour starts with a little history of their bourbons and then we were taken on a journey all the way from where their grain was grown through the distilling process to aging in small cask barrels. The tour ends with a tasting of their whiskeys, which by the way I appreciate the free Glen Cairn tasting glass. I also appreciate a local distillery strictly specializing in whiskeys. However, Studio distilling does like to tinker around with some "blended whiskeys", you'll have to take the tour to know what I'm talking about. The whiskey: AWESOME! Let's first talk about their bourbon. From what I remember it was 92 proof. Although I consider this not a higher alcohol content, the taste seems like it is higher then it is. It definitely goes nice with cocktails as it's flavor profile reminds me of a bourbon coming out of Buffalo Trace distillery. Now on to the Rye: DOUBLE AWESOME!! The rye is actually a "hand crafted" rye malt. Don't let the "malt" keep you from trying this rye, it's a very complex flavor profile and holds its own drinking it neat as well as pairing excellently in a Manhattan. I've already gone through a couple bottles myself. Their rye malt whiskey also took the double gold medal at the World Spirits competition in San Fransisco, which in the world of spirits, this competition is like going to the Olympics. If you like whiskey, by all means book a tour and try out their whiskeys for yourself, you won't regret it.
