I originally got the spicy pickle drink and it was a little too spicy for me. The waitstaff noticed I was nursing it a little too hard and offered me a new drink & to take the spicy drink off the tab! Such a nice gesture that came as a surprise. I ended up getting their tzaziki drink which was DELICIOUS and so unique too! The German shepherd that wanders around the bar is so cute and friendly as well. The burgers at the food truck looked amazing, but unfortunately we had just eaten. Will definitely be back next time I'm in the area!

The tasting room is actually a house on a hill- with great views of the mountains and valley. There is indoor and outdoor seating available- but honestly weather permitting- the outside is the place to be! They have a nice selection of bourbon from which they offer flights. They also have some craft cocktails. We tried the bourbon margarita- what a unique combination and it was very good. The staff were pleasant and knowledgeable. We enjoyed our margaritas and a shared flight outside on Adirondack chairs enjoying the views. Our take home purchase was a bottle of their bottled in bond bourbon which has a very flavorful profile with hints of caramel.

We did two tastings and the tasting boards were nice. It's not much of a location to hang in- just one room so our loud group kind of took over.

No TVs or food while we were there but if you happen to be driving in the area the bourbons and prices were good.

It is not a destination place. I am a fan of wineries and breweries that have a bit of ambiance and history to them. This is not one of those places. Upon arrival I wasn't sure if there was a tasting room or not. It looks like a warehouse with no defined parking and no "warmth" to bring customers in. The tasting room has space for 8 people and can be filled with 5. The tasting room is more like a converted office with the expected customer to be a distributor. I asked the server about the history or what makes their whiskey different from others. The answer was "We are between a micro distillery and a large manufacturer." I was hoping for something like grandpas recipes or locally sourced grains but I got nothing. I look for places to be and enjoy a drink with friends. This is not one of those places.

The staff was very nice and accommodating. We had a larger party of 9. We were instantly greeted and given water without asking. We tried different flights. All of their liquor and mixed drinks had different flavors in it which I wasn't used to. For example some may have vanilla, pineapple, etc. When I have gone to distilleries typically you only get flavor from the barrels not like infusions. So I wasn't used to that. The customer service was great though and D was extremely patient with the party that I was with.

I tried the Petit Verdot, which was an easy-drinking blend. While it was perfectly pleasant, it didn't quite blow me away compared to some of the other pours on this tour. However, what did blow me away were the views from the back patio. You get a stunning, pastoral mountain backdrop with horses in the paddock and cows on the hillside. It's close enough to enjoy the scenery, but far enough away that you don't get any of the "farm smells." To reset, I cleansed my palate with some wonderful Plaza De Espana fried marcona almonds and a Saratoga spring water--a high-quality snack pairing that matched the upscale feel of the property. If you're looking for a world-class view and a comfortable, high-end environment to relax in, this is the spot. Friendly and helpful service!
