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!

Tasted their gin,vodka and white whisky for the first time today. Their vodka would go great in a…read moreMoscow Mule. Put im sure they'll taste great in your favorite drink too. 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.

We stopped in on a Thursday night and the place was pretty empty. We did not do a tour and elected…read moreto sample a few of their drinks in the bar area. You can sit by the bar or in one of the many leather couches they have..we chose the latter. My wife had their Chocolate Martini and I had their Old Fashion along with a single shot of their bourbon. All drinks were very good. This is a family owned and operated craft distillery. They do not serve food at the distillery but they go at their other location in downtown Galena...Public House. They make their own Bourbon,Gin, Vodka,Rum and Rye Whiskey ..so something for everyone's palette.

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!

I've been wanting to visit J Henry and do the tour for many many years. Finally found a weekend to…read moredo that as well as Wollersheim Winery. J Henry was by far our favorite tour. 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.

Not a big cocktail person but the choices made me reconsider... but I stuck to trying a flight of spirits. My go to is bourbon. Wow! Very pleased. They have small pours of not only whiskey but 8 other spirits . Over 60 choices. Most $2 to $3 some a bit more some less. My 8 choices came to $14! I can't get a drink in my area for that price! This to me is the perfect situation. I can try other spirits I have not given a chance without spending a ton! I have never been to a place like this. Unfortunately I am almost 3 hrs away. Nels was awesome to chat with and he and Ben made the visit fun. In speaking with Nels, he can modify any of the drinks to interest and is very creative if you are adventurous. The other customers there were fun to talk to and the guitarist was awesome. Please try it out! Love this place.

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.

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!
