We have visited this veteran-owned distillery several times and have never been disappointed. From…read morethe gracious hosts to the unique spirits, it's quite the experience. A small speakeasy-style tasting room is the backdrop to traditional and smoky bourbons, moonshine, and cordials. (The rumor is they'll be coming out with a gin in the near future!) My personal favorites are the chocolate cordial and the new blueberry cinnamon cordial. My daughter loves the apple pie brandy, cinnamon whiskey, and honey pear cordial. My husband prefers the Viking Lightning (a honey-infused moonshine) and the Whiskey Road bourbon aged in charred white oak. There's something for everyone here! Bonus: They are dog-friendly!

The shelves are full of whiskey, brandy, gin, lots of other spirits. I'm a rye guy and tasted the rye whiskey, (light spicy) which I thought were extremely good.

Grain to glass is what they pride themselves on, and the products they produce are really fantastic. Stop by and have some samples, ask for a tour of the place, and take a bottle for the road. Might I suggest a glen cairn or flask as well. My personal favorites are the bourbons (both Cask Strength and Private Reserve are great), apple shine, and the unfiltered vodka! Cheers!

It was empty when we arrived, likely because the golf course next to it is closed at the moment. The drinks here are used to showcase the quality of the whiskey distilled here, and they do a darn good job of it! I stuck to my usual standard of an Old Fashioned, and my wife her new favorite: the Hot Apple Chai, which we had just discovered in the Black Rabbit restaurant earlier in the day. We meandered the grounds afterward, checking out the golf course (which at some point we are going to have to come and butcher with power terrible driving skills). I am no golfer, but I need that stamp! Hopefully they have a groundskeeper on hand to clean up our mess in the wake of our passing!

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.

It was a nice move to come to New Basin after a lot of driving and sightseeing. The place seems fairly popular with customers rather they be locals or visitors. Staff at the bar was friendly and I liked what I saw on the mixed cocktail menu. For drinks I got the Mule or Moscow Mule. This was a good cocktail! With the distillery's spirits at work and the Ginger flavor their version of the Mule was extremely refreshing and had a nice kick to it. If opportunity allows I'd certainly come back if not for another Mule then more of their mixed drinks options for sure!

"Dam Good Whiskey!" -- A Beaver's Review of Westward Distillery…read more Well chew my bark and call me industrious--Westward Distillery has crafted a whiskey so fine it made my tail thump like a drum on spring thaw! I waddled in skeptical. After all, we beavers know a thing or two about craftsmanship: sharp teeth, strong wood, steady paws. But the moment those folks poured me a sample of their American Single Malt, I realized I was in the presence of fellow artisans--humans who build with barley the way I build with birch. The aroma? Like sniffing a warm cedar log at sunset, with a hint of orchard fruit drifting downstream. The taste? Smooth as a freshly planed maple branch, with a delicious grain character that made me contemplate abandoning dam construction to pursue professional sipping full-time. The finish? Long, warm, and rich--lingering like the satisfaction of placing the final stick on a perfectly engineered lodge roof. And don't get me started on the place itself. The distillery is polished, welcoming, and smells pleasantly of oak instead of predators. The staff? Delightful! Not one of them tried to trap me, and they spoke about their whiskey with the passion of creatures who truly love their craft. Westward, my whiskered friends, you have built something remarkable. If I had opposable thumbs, I'd raise a glass. Instead, I'll slap my tail in tribute: THWAP THWAP THWAP! That's beaver for "EXQUISITE WORK, KEEP IT UP."
