Highly recommend to all!! The staff are wonderful and there products are amazingly delicious on all my Vlogs

My friend wanted to come here to try the bourbon. The place is quite cute and has lots of gift ideas . The service was pretty good but it seemed like they catered to their local regulars over just visitors, but that's understandable. We all tried the flights. My friend and my son tried to different flavored vodkas and the two varieties of bourbon while I chose to try four different flavors of vodka because I don't really care for bourbon. My favorite flavor of the vodka was the coconut lychee. Very delicious My husband just got a Coca Cola and my daughter tried a mocktail that tasted just like a melted dreamsicle Overall I would say it was a nice experience read more

Carefree Distillery is such a cute spot. It's small, welcoming, and perfect for a quick tasting or a relaxed drink. We stopped in for a drink before our dinner at Kiki Ray's, and it was the perfect warm-up to the evening. Their flavored Chakra Vodka is the standout--super smooth and amazing in a martini. The vibe is cozy, the drinks are great, and we'll definitely be back! read more

Been going to this place for years and I can't believe I haven't left a review. This is a not so hidden gem in cave creek. If you want to get away from the typical cowboy or biker crap, this is a nice alternative. They make their own bourbon and vodka and it's delicious. The old fashions are one of the best around and the vodka easily compares to some of the top brands. And the staff is always friendly and accommodating. They make this place even more pleasant. It has a nice patio and they have some events during the weeks sometimes. Do yourself a favor and try it. Make sure to say hello to Alex as she is always a treat to talk to! read more

Great spot, the girls pouring know their stuff. Much more than just a distillery tasting room, they mix up all kinds of vodka or bourbon cocktails. Give it a try!! read more

Awesome experience Started with the tasting & graduated to an Old Fashion. Alex was delightful and a breath of fresh air from a service standpoint. read more

I love this Place. Excellent spirits, wonderful staff seriously nothing Better in cave creek. If you know you know about Wednesday at 5pm. Great cocktails, precisely done by wonderful ladies. 10 stars if I could read more

This place is amazing. Old fashions were spot on. Staff was very knowledgeable about their products.

While in Cave Creek, I saw this distillery and had to stop. I entered the establishment and was greeted by the employee behind the bar and handed a menu that listed the tasty drinks. The distillery makes bourbon and vodka. I am a fan of bourbon and samples the 95 proof and the 120 proof; their two offerings. I tried both neat at first and found both the be smooth and full of flavor. Both were so good, I bought a bottle of both at the end of this adventure. Time for this mixes drinks! I had the old fashioned, smoked. It was fabulous. There were other drinks on the menu, but I opted for two old fashions on this trip. I had a great conversation with the operations manager who told me some of the great things coming in the future. I'm excited for this place and hope to see it grow. I also had their charcuterie board which was absolutely magnificent. If you are in Cave Creek, I totally recommend this place if you like bourbon or vodka. read more

One of our favorite stops when visiting Cave Creek. Fantastic drinks and ambience! Love this place!

The staff was so friendly and pleasant as well as knowledgeable! Our cocktails were well balanced and delicious.

First time here and definitely won't be my last. What an absolute gem of a place this and wish it was locally to where I'm at. Strictly local distilled vodka and bourbons and what a treat they are. We had a few variety's from the vodka pineapple to berry and fig old fashions. We were there on cigar night I guess according to our waitress which had that perfect smell coming through from outside of all the cigars with a very relaxed vibe inside that was not loud at all. I can't wait to find myself back here. read more

Love this spot! If you frequent Cave Creek/Carefree & have not been by here, you are missing out. Some of the most creative & tasty drinks around! Staff of Alex & Sabrina are super welcoming, friendly, while making you the best drink in town! Very inviting space and sick gear to take home to show off! read more

Amazing bourbon and speciality vodkas! Love all the different flavors and the bourbon might be the best I've ever had! Try the barrel proof!!!! read more

Yes they make their own vodka and bourbon and that's basically all you will find in the menu No Wine or other spirits. A few little items on the menu to snack on and outdoor tables available. We tried the S'mores cocktail and it was a winner. You can buy bottles to take home too. I'm not a bourbon drinker so I just had a coffee with a splash of it. But how cool is that marshmallow? Overall a great way to support local businesses during this pandemic. read more

Bourbon and Alice our server were great!!! Grab a couple bottles for home!! Had the tastings and an old fashion.

The service is amazing here!! All the ladies are very quick and so nice!! The bourbon and vodka drinks are so good!! The ambiance of the place is very nice for a tasting room! Love, love, love the decorations for Halloween, it really adds to the ambiance!!! read more

If there were 6 stars I would give them that rating. I've been around the world, and this is one of the top bourbon's I've ever had. On top of that their hospitality is top notch as well. The taste & aroma are outstanding with just the right amount of fire at the end. They make their own bitters, so you have to try one of their old fashion's. The staff makes you feel like family whether it's your first visit or your 100th. Susanne and Jordyn really know their stuff and always greet you with a smile and excellent service. Try one of their charcuterie boards while you're their. They are a great compliment to one of the best bourbons you'll ever have. read more

If I could give more stars - I absolutely would! Oh where to begin?!!! Carefree Spirits Distillery is my husband's and my favorite place to go for a top notch experience. Jordyn and Suzanne are by far my favorite people to see when I go in for my favorite Vodka martini, "The Divine". It does not matter if they are busy or not, they always greet me with a smile and ask if I would like "the usual". These ladies know my hubby likes to try different bourbon drinks, so always ask what he's in the mood for. We always feel like family when we walk in. When you have a bad day, while their drinks are exceptional, sometimes you just have to go in for the staff. I have a couple of their Chakra Vodka bottles on our home bar as well. Thank you, Jordyn and Suzanne - you ladies really are the best at what you do! read more

Not to busy when we stopped by on a HOT Saturday in September. Perfect place to meet ol friends and catch up while enjoying bourbon or vodka drink.I would have to say the coffee bourbon drink was one of the better ones on this trip. Plenty of parking right out side the door and your choice of a comfy couch seating or a table. We were greeted when entering and offered drink shortly afterwards. Good start to an enjoyable Saturday. read more

Amazing vodkas with classic bottles (you'll buy one of each for your bar at home). The bourbon (especially the reserve) is incredible. The best part is the service and mixed drinks...concoctions...that transform these killer bottles into wicked glasses. The FIG is ridiculous! Thanks Jake for the hospitality!! read more

We stopped in to try Carefree Bourbon and was surprised to find they have a line of vodka too, Chakra vodka. A lot of craft cocktails to choose from. Great service and education. Definitely stop in and try out Carefree Bourbon. Support local read more

Oh, I just loved this place. The barkeepers were delightful and introduced us to their custom spirts and we enjoyed some bar snacks. We would have given them a 5 star if they had a tv. Unfortunately they do not so we will not be back to drink. We loved the idea of the TV for Sunday football in a quiter more classy, intimate setting. Unfortuantely we will go elsewhere for our hang, but we might swing by and have a quick drink before :-). read more

I stumbled on this place and so glad I did. The wait staff is so helpful in explaining the vodka and bourbon. The drinks were amazing and very high class. Great bar and lounge area to hang out. read more

Second time here. The smoked old fashion is the best in the Valley. The folks behind the bar are fun, easy and so friendly!! They remembered us and what we ordered! Had the charcuterie board. SO unique in the BEST way. We enjoyed the food, the folks and the ambience. read more

Checked out this place on our recent trip to AZ, and I'm super stoked we did! First off, the place was really poppin, and it was a beautiful day so that made the atmosphere that much more invited. We sat at the bar (we are allowed to do that in AZ lol), and the bartender and server were both super friendly and helpful on which spirits they suggested, along with the cocktails that were the most popular. I always try an old-fashioned at distilleries that make whiskey, because that is usually how I determine if I want to take a bottle home with me, but my fiance tried the vodka's because she is more of a vodka drinker (I tasted some of those too.. shh). Both were absolutely amazing, but the vodka is what really stood out. They had a bunch of different flavored vodkas, which I didn't care to try when I first heard, because I'm not typically a fan of flavored vodkas (too sweet). Once I started chatting with the bartender though, they told me that there was no added sugar in their vodkas, so it was just the flavor of the fruit with no over-bearing sweetness.. genius idea! The pineapple vodka, along with the peach vodka (forgot the names) were so damn good.. perfect for a cocktail on a warm day that could get you through the finish line without that added sugar rush to dehydrate you even more than alcohol already does! We ended up buying more bottles than we knew what to do with (the couple extra cocktails probably helped that decision), and had great conversation with other guests and the bartenders there. Overall there wasn't anything negative to say about Elysian Desert, can't wait to check them out again when we are back in AZ. read more

What a gem of a place. The atmosphere is great! There are comfy chairs where you can lounge and enjoy delicious bourbon and vodka cocktails. The staff and service are top notch. This is a do not miss in Cave Creek! read more

Came here yesterday for the first time and had an great experience. This place makes their own bourbon, vodka and bitters! All the drinks we had and tried were so good with a tone of fresh ingredients. When I am back in Cave Creek I will definitely be coming here for a drink! read more

Do you like bourbon? Good, they have barrel proof that will put some hair on your chest. Do you like vodka? Good, their martinis would make James Bond's lip quiver. Go to the tasting room and try it out for yourself. If going out isn't your thing, order some online from their website. read more

What a surprise. It's a really welcoming distillery with really good spirits. I have to say, unlike most other craft breweries I've visited, the bourbon here is very good. Marissa and Sophia are skilled mixologists. read more

Carefree Spirits Distillery has some of my favorite bourbon of all time! I've visited their tasting room multiple times now, and it's my favorite place in the Cave Creek to get a bourbon cocktail. Not only are their drinks fantastic but their service is top notch! It's a vibe - highly recommend!!! read more

Local distillery doing some fun interesting vodkas. We came for the bourbon initially but we very impressed by the vodkas as well and picked up a bottle of pineapple rosemary to go (sounds a bit unusual but was so interesting). The staff was patient, knowledgeable and kind....definitely check it out! read more

What an amazing place. So friendly and helpful. My husband absolutely loved the bourbon and I'm looking forward to going back to try the vodka drinks. Can't wait to go hang out when more time permits. Thank you for welcoming us to your establishment read more

This place is a hidden gem. We were shopping in downtown Cave Creek and truly just needed some water and stumbled upon this place and I am so happy we did! They distill their own vodka and bourbon and prepare all of their mixers in house. Terrence aka "Tex" is an incredible mixologist who is truly passionate about his craft. We also spoke with the owners who are so nice and offer great customer service. You can feel the heart and soul in this place. We tried maybe 10 different drinks between us and all of them were phenomenal. I will 100% be back and highly recommend if you're in the area and appreciate craft cocktails. If you love supporting local family owned businesses, you can't miss them! read more
