    Espresso Beans in our Chocolate Martini
    Lori S.

    It was our second visit to this amazing distillery! The distillery has a cool vibe. Michael and Grace were taking care of us when we visited on 11/1. It was also BOGO day, which was awesome! Michael was training Grace and she did a great job. The Chocolate Espresso Martinis were absolutely delicious, as well as the Vodka Old Fashioned's. We had great conversations with M&G, as well as the local couple we met while we were there. We will definitely visit every time we make the trip down from Ky. I even bought a Distillery 98 hat that I love. Thanks for an enjoyable afternoon!

    Great facility, very modern. The have a nice tasting room where can try the vodka and watch the distillery. There is an outdoor seating area also. There was a food truck outside when we were there. It said coffee but they had food, even had vegan chili cheese fries. The only have vodka so they focus on what the do we'll. The cocktails they make were delicious! I also love the fully recycle bottle.

    Distillery 98 in Santa Rosa Beach, FL, home of Half Shell Vodka, a corn-based (gluten-free) vodka filtered through crushed oyster shells. The oyster shells, made of calcium carbonate, are great natural filters. They distill the spirit in a pot still, a column, and a filter system. Their lower-end product is smooth, but their "Dune" is even nicer, and it was a whole $21 bottle with the case discount. The "Half Shell" vodka (available at Total Wine) comes in an innovative paper bottle lined with a wine bag, so you can bring it to the beach/pool or in your cooler and not worry about breaking it if it gets dropped. They also produce corn liquor (moonshine), whiskey, and a botanical gin.

    What's on the menu? Distilled vodka and specialty drinks connected to vodka. It is off 98 between Panama City beach, Florida and Miramar Idyll Hounds Brewery is right next door. More construction on the way!!! Sean was so kind to make a special smoked old fashioned, pineapple mojito and lotus drop drink. Lovely visit on an October afternoon. thanks so much for being here

    We are on our honeymoon, and one thing my husband and I like to do is try distilleries where ever we go when on vacation. We came here on Monday night and we were literally the 2nd customers of the entire business day. It was nice to have just the 2 of us along with the bartender and his wife hanging out. Sean gave us a great experience where we got to learn about the distillery and the sustainability mission behind it. Sean makes a mean drink, too! I think that was the highlight. The drinks are good, the genuine conversation was flowing, and overall it was a chill evening at a great place that takes pride in their product. I think they are in a great location considering that this place is being developed and the business around it will ultimately bring a good crowd. Just know, it is way way way in the back of a business development area. It is off the beaten path and it might seem weird at first that it is so off the grid, but truly it is just part of the development of this area as stated before. Plus, there is ample parking. We bought a bottle and brought it home. I can't wait to try their stuff again this Saturday when we go to the Hounds Festival.

    We weren't sure what to expect as we approached the bare looking building.. we were pleasantly surprised as we opened the doors to a beautiful and inviting interior! We were greeted by guests and employees.. instantly feeling welcomed and as if we were family. David gave us an incredible tour of the distillery graciously answering all of our questions. Sean was our bartender and made the experience awesome! He answered questions, made scrumptious drinks, shared knowledge, and shared stories with us. Tara was most helpful and super friendly. She also shared her wisdom with us on making drinks. These individuals made our time here fantastic! They have a game area, upstairs, seating outside, and also quaint little areas to sit around the distillery. We bought some bottles and metal signs to take home. We look forward to going back!

    Absolutely love this distillery - great drinks, food trucks and the ambiance!!! Ask for mixologist, Sugar he's as sweet as his name and can really mix a drink.

    Storytelling is an ancient art rooted in emotion, passion or pain or apathy or one of a million other visceral catalysts. Storytelling done well should make you feel something. Feeling that I needed to attend, I spent the evening At Distillery 98, the hipster venue for Emerald Coast Storytellers Open Mic. The eclectic crowd was intriguing with a widely diverse collection of personas from intellectuals to hipsters to hippies to use your imagination. What a beautiful venue and loving, welcoming, engaged crowd. "There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you." ~Maya Angelou, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings

    Staff was friendly, the place was beautiful decorated. Not what I expecting , I thought they did tasting but they don't; they only have vodka. It was smooth though and they allowed us to taste it . Ended up buying a bottle to take home.

    Drinks were great, atmosphere was great and bartender was top notch. If in the area this is a must try. I'm way more of a whiskey guy but the vodka here was so smooth I would definitely come back again.

    Bloody Mary mix and vodka in a cardboard "bottle"
    Cara D.

    Sugar was an awesome bartender! Very cool place to visit if you are in the area. My husband and I drove over from Panama City while on vacation and this is truly a great spot. Going home with a unique vodka and a delicious Bloody Mary mix! My dogs loved it too.

    Dan Z.

    The guys at Distillery 98 were great. Happy to serve and have a conversation with you. They have a small menu of mixed drinks, but the few we had were delicious. For a distillery that only has vodka, they do a nice job of making cocktails that lets the vodka shine. They have some snack foods and plenty of games to play. It was a good trip!!

    On our road trip to PCB, there were a few places that we wanted to stop at en route, and this…read morebeauty of a place was one of them. This place is also quite large. Aside from the well lit patios, to the docks you can hang on over the water to enjoy the outdoor space, and the lively music, along with awesome staff, I don't think there is anything you can complain about coming here. From what I noticed, it seems as though this is a good local hang, lots of people appeared to know the staff and vice versa, making for a lively bunch. They got a great store of pretty much everything you can think of, wine (duh), food, clothing, accessories and more. My friends opted in for a wine tasting, which was extremely entertaining. I wasn't in the mood for wine, so I didn't do the tasting itself, but hung out in the corner while my friends enjoyed. I also found a beer outside, so was still able to toast them! There are lots and lots of options for wine to choose from, and they had this delicious cream cheese dip made with some preserves. I snatched a bottle of that to bring home and make meself. We had such a great time here. You can also feed the turtles that are in the pond as well, there were some pretty large ones out there!

So, be warned! Especially if you're a light weight drinker. Now, the wine. Very nice selection of dry, sweet, reds, whites and blends. And some beer to sample, too. So, something for everyone! And you have to try some fudge!! Oh man!! Not super sugary like some. Almost like a flourless tort. Yummy stuff. We visited on a rainy weekday afternoon and sat out on the spacious covered patio and listened to some live music. All in all, a really nice afternoon, wine, music, fudge. I mean, for a rainy Friday afternoon , it was a great break!!

    I have seen the ads for this company and it's cool events on FB. My husband and I decided to…read morecheck it out on our first free afternoon and we saw that they were open on Black Friday (with a 25% off sale on EVERYTHING). We enjoyed the short trip from Crestview, down a winding tree lined road. BTW, Apple Maps does not send you to the right location, when you get to the "end" of Lake Ella Road, take a right and the Distillery is about 1-1.5 miles down on the right hand side....the big sign is easy to spot. We went into the tasting room after driving past some disc golf nets ($10 to play....looks like we'll be doing that soon!). The beautiful rustic building caught our eye as we pulled into the parking lot, and we saw the axe throwing area off to the side. Inside the tasting room, we met the owner who had just finished doing a tasting for the couple ahead of us. They grabbed stools for us and we were off on an educational sample tour of the different offerings of the Distillery. The owner is very knowledgeable about his craft, personable, and he didn't rush us as we chatted about the area, the notes we were tasting, and pairings and mixed drinks that could be made with each alcohol. The inside of the building is as beautiful as the outside, and we learned that it was built by the owners. It is a relaxed place to unwind and get started on the weekend. Typically the Distillery is open on Saturdays, from 11-4, and Black Friday was a special opening. The Distillery takes all forms of payment, including American Express, Visa, and Mastercard. Our receipt was emailed to me immediately upon our purchase. We bought a bottle of Timber Creek Florida Apple Pie, and Timber Creek Florida Gin. And we bought a token for a wood fired pizza. There are plenty of others that we will be buying in the future! After purchasing the 750 mL bottles, my husband decided to try the hand mixed drinks the owner creates and serves on tap. First he tried the Strawberry Rhubarb Lemonade made with Timber Creek Florida Vodka, then he ordered the Timber Creek Tiki, which is Timber Creek Florida Rum, pineapple and jalapeño. The mixed drink menu changes periodically, but both had such a good flavor that it bodes well for all other mixed drinks too. Outside while we waited for our wood fired pizza, we used the corn hole games that were set up. It was so quiet out there! While it felt rural, we knew that we were only about 15 minutes from Crestview, so it was a relaxing getaway for the afternoon. Our wood fired pizza had a choice of toppings. Today there was pepperoni, pulled pork, onions, homemade tomato sauce and mozzarella. The staff member who was baking the pizza told us about how they make the crust on site, and she explained about the handcrafted pizza oven and the varying temperatures. She also mentioned that they have pizza making classes, so we look forward to signing up for that event in the future. Speaking of events, almost every weekend they host different events that you can sign up for on their website. There's lots of variety and would be great for a date night or for a group of friends to go and relax. There are comedy nights, distillery tours, special food events, and more....but even if you're not signed up for an event, you should still go on a Saturday to check them out! Definitely a highlight of Crestview!

We booked a tour and one of the two owners did our tour it was my husband and I and him. He was friendly and chatted openly with us. The other owner was manning the bar.

Not your normal distillery tasting, but certainly one that I very much appreciated. The owner of the distillery works alongside his son to run the place, which is very cool and admirable. We came in just about an hour before close, and were excited to do a tasting. Not having done a ton of research before arriving, I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of offerings they had. There were several types of rums, ranging from light to dark, accompanied with a vodka and whiskey. Patrick was great at telling us the history of how they came to this place, but also the history of rums, and the legalities of what it took to get to where they are today, to be able to open and run a distillery. He was full of lots of history, which made the tasting interactive and educational. Great stop along the way. If you like rum, you will not be disappointed!

We came in about an hour before closing, and Patrick was still happy to give us a tasting with quite a bit of history to go with it! The tasting room is a tiny office space next to the distillery area. We didn't get a chance for a tour as our timing was close to end of day for them, and it was just Patrick on site at the time. The parking lot has plenty of space available. Easy enough to get in and out of. Patrick chatted us up about their products, and history. And just general knowledge of the spiritsnane the history of how some of these items came to be, and their background in the industry. I learned a lot of cool bits of knowledge. One of the things that struck me about the distillery during our research phase of the trip was the artwork on the bottles. Turns out that his son, who is also running the business with Patrick, is the artist! The bottles look so cool, enjoy the pictures! The tasting was very good! We had quite a variety of sips to taste and compare. Basically lightest to heaviest. We ended up walking away with Rock'n Rum, and Spiced Rum (for winter drinks). A really good stop, we're glad we came through!
