Shared stories behind each gin, whiskey, absinthe and liqueur. We ended up grabbing a few bottles and I'd love to be back. Gave us free stickers (it's $1 for 1 and $2 for 2). And I'm pretty sure he waived our tasting. Great spot. Great guy. We'll definitely be back!

There are also some signs along the way and a large sign in the driveway. Parking was easy and the place was well paved for ADA. The tasting room is small but perfect for a few groups and comfy seating. The outdoor area looks nice for picnics, dogs, tasting liquors etc. We purchased the corn whiskey and espresso liqueur. The corn whiskey was smooth and liqeur was subtle in sweetness (which is preferable). The owner was very nice and knew anything you wanted to know about their product. I would purchase from here again and take friends or family.

Finding Absinthe is rare, but Pilot House has it, and it's the real deal with the wormwood. They even have the absinthe pour tap, so they can do it up right. In addition to the absinthe, which I absolutely had to get, I also ordered a gin flight. My server, John, was very knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. The patrons there were all friendly. The atmosphere was comfortable and they had plenty of swag. I bought a tiny bottle of absinthe and a sweatshirt, so I would have fond memories of that fine establishment every time I wore it.

Free tasting if you stay at the Adrift or Shelburne properties. It's a small distillery with a few tables indoors and plenty of picnic tables outside as well as bicycle parking out front. We had bicycled the discovery trail and after tasting we tried one of the cocktails as well. I enjoyed the herbal amor and my husband enjoyed a 'no fills' but very tasty mary.

Environment: The place was empty when we arrived. It has a very open feel to the place with all the large glass walls so you can see the outside. To enter, we had to ring the doorbell where the staff member came and let us in. There's a couch seating area as well as the tasting counter where we sat. We picked a couple of drinks to try out. There's also merch available along the back wall, near the restrooms. What was ordered: - Peppermint Hot Chocolate (spiked peppermint hot chocolate?!...so dangerous but oh so yummy hahaha) - Maple Bourbon (sweet! Just like pancakes) Yay/Nay/Meh: Yay. The hot chocolate was awesome if you like hot chocolate, you can barely taste the alcohol so it can definitely sneak up on you. Credit cards are accepted.

We were bummed to see that we were a week too early for the fall whiskey festival, but reached out to see if we could stop in for a tasting. Bev, one of the owners, arranged a private tasting for us and we were blown away! Her spirits are exquisite and there is something that will appeal to everyone's palate. Don't sleep on the cocktails - the Old Fashioned flight was delicious and so much fun! Bev pairs her distiller's knowledge with a deep appreciation for the history of the region and the distillery's namesake. Ask her for the story of Ewing Young, then sit back and enjoy her telling it.
