I like Death's Door stuff. I really do…read more Although it's easy for me to only think about GLD stuff - having an amazing distillery a stone's throw from my house? Ridiculous... - there are a few other good spirits that hail from our lovely Wisco... Death's Door being one of them. I've always found their vodka to be clean, their gin to be round and delightful, and their white whisky? Well, I can't speak to that, cause I've not had it. (I'm sort of leery of clear whisk(e)ies. Not sure why... just doesn't seem right.) At any rate, I think their gin may be my favorite. GLD gin is my absolute favorite, but Death's Door is super solid, too. Juniper, coriander, and fennel, w/out being transparent about it. It's nice and balanced and like I said, round. Approachable. Words that describe things that are good... add more of them here. Though I've not physically been, four stars for a solid product that hails from my beloved Dairyland!

Go ask your bartender to mix a drink for you next time with Deaths Door Spirit in it. You'll be in for a great rest of your day.

It's going to sound weird, but the star here is not the drinks (though those are good) or the…read moreambiance (super homy), but it's the staff and service. The folks here are incredibly helpful and super knowledgeable about their products and similar spirits out there. There is no food, but I think there might be some snacks. The drinks are quite excellent. Check out their menu, but if you want something more standard, they can make that as well. The quality is very good, though the prices are slightly on the higher side especially for being in a pretty rural area. The distillery is beautiful, with super comfy plush chairs, games, TVs and everything you could want while you sip your tasty cocktail. They also have a nice gift shop for you to check out. Swing by when you're in the area!!

Another wonderful visit to Blaum Bros. Distilling! We had…read morevarious drinks, as you do... But this time, we took home some of their Bourbon Apple Pie cocktail-to-go options for ourselves and friends. And... the BYOB - check the photo. We grabbed a couple of the premium bottles, and it was definitely a cool experience. We had a guide the entire time assisting with the labeling, where you put them, how to line them up, and how it's poured from the barrels. This was something I've never done before, and I appreciated the guidance and the fun time I had going through the process of a bottling experience. We need to make it back - this stuff is liquid gold, and it tastes even better than it reads. So dark on the pour... you know it has spent its time in the barrel getting all that flavor. I tasted it with friends and family, and it is beyond what I expected for the complex flavor profile and how it hits you at different times. Without water, with water, different amounts. It has been so fun unlocking the different tastes this bottle has to offer. We have all enjoyed every sip - I'm so glad we were around for this release!

We've been here numerous times. Service has always been SO slow. We gave it multiple chances…read morebecause the distillery was new. They've been open awhile now and all kinks should be worked out. Tonight we waited 20 minutes to just get our order taken (we ordered drinks and dinner. After that we waited another 30 minutes for 2 drinks to be made. When we got here there were 3-4 other tables of people (tables of 2). Our food came out 40-45 minutes after we ordered. We both ordered the fish dinner. My fish was great. Hot and crispy crust. My husband's was cold, soggy and limp. We did talk with our waiter and he comped our dinner and drinks 20%. But honestly I just want service to be good so we can enjoy a local spot. I think one of the reasons is they may have a lot of turnover. But then they need to ask themselves why is there turnover. Disappointed. Will we be back? Probably because we enjoy the view.

There was some street parking around but most were filled, we found a spot about a block away. Bartenders were awesome and made for a great time!

You could tell the passion and family like atmosphere at J Henry. Our tour guide was Elista. The history and background was so interesting, it gave us a tremendous appreciation for their craft. The tasting at the end was so much fun, again, we learned so much about their brand. We then headed to the bar to continue. Next time we will take more time to try the bistro. We became fans of their bourbon and we will be back.

Restrooms available. Limoncello: On the sweet side with a bit heaviness of alcohol aftertaste. 3rd Gear Old Fashioned: Sweeter old fashion with hint of whisky. This is a great drink if you like whiskies. Sour Cherry: tastes similar to plum liquor. My favorite of the night! If you have tried Korean plum wine then you'll like this drink. Apple-Peach Liqueur: Has more of an peach scent than apple. Little bit less sweet compared to sour cherry.

The place was mostly empty except a few patrons, but it picked up as the hour went on. Service was spot on with just the right amount of attention.

I wish we could've stayed for food because everything looked and smelled incredible. Hopefully next time!

I lost track of what all we tried but: fae nectar, hurrican't even, cheeky devil, fiesta bear, and tea and tendril. Everything was delicious, went down easy, and reasonable prices. The food was also good - chips & queso, chicken tenders, and pretzel. The pretzel was INSANE - enough to go around for 4 people. Riley was a fabulous bar tender. He was super knowledgeable on all the spirits and cocktails. We had great banter and he was welcoming on our first visit. I loved the variety of seating options inside and out. The patio is great but the bees scared us back inside. Everything was decorated so cute for Halloween - it must have taken forever to decorate!! Definitely will be back again next time I'm in the Madison area!
