The tasting room is much larger than it looks from the outside and has a really nice atmosphere, along with a great mercantile filled with gifts and merchandise. One of the biggest highlights was that they are dog-friendly! Well-behaved dogs are welcome inside, and they even had treats for our pup, which was a nice touch. We enjoyed sampling several of their whiskeys and liked most of what we tried. We ended up purchasing the Espresso Whiskey and Peach Whiskey--both were excellent. We honestly would have bought more, but we were flying home and didn't have enough room in our luggage. Definitely worth stopping in if you're in the area, especially if you enjoy whiskey and appreciate businesses that welcome dogs!

There's plenty of seating around the bar, so we grabbed a couple of barstools. Our bartender was fabulous - super friendly and made recommendations.

It was super tasty and I am not a big gin fan. Well done Craig. I also tried the "Barrel Project" which I liked, #510 & #512 as well as their newly completed batch of bourbon. All were very tasty. The bar atmosphere was welcoming and we liked the decor. The bathrooms were really nice. We saw Craig chatting with a few of the customers, but unfortunately we did not get a chance to compliment him on his establishment. Overall was a great experience! Thank you!!

While the menu is somewhat limited, it's clear they focus on quality over quantity. Whiskey is, of course, the main attraction, but for those looking for something different, their Dry Town Gin or Vodka provide great alternatives. The prices are on the higher side, especially considering the smaller portions, but the convenience and ambiance make it worthwhile. The house salad was a standout--light, fresh, and paired perfectly with a honey vinaigrette that wasn't too heavy, making it an ideal choice for a happy hour snack. If you're looking for a cozy, somewhat upscale place to grab a drink and a bite before heading to an event, this distillery is worth checking out!

We mainly came for a drink or flight, but also added the snack mix; we had 3 bowls to share. We also were given carafes of water. We knew ahead of time that the Honey Smoked Old Fashioneds were quite good, so a few of us ordered them. We watched them being made at the bar next to us and they are able to smoke 4 at once using what looks like a cake stand with glass dome. They were indeed quite tasty. I also tasted a friend's Bourbon Margarita. I'd never heard of this cocktail but was interested. Again, tasty. A few of us purchased bottles of Old Elk to go. They gave golden elk bottle pours as a bonus (really nice).

Maybe it's because they only expect to sell one or two per customer, because they are cocktails. I self limited to one, but some of that is because of the price. If a drink costs as much as a meal...
