Wine Tour Impromptu Stop: Killdeer Distilling We had time to kill before our next winery stop so the tour company we were with took us here. My husband and I split a tasting which was $10. Colin, one of the owners, was very friendly and informative. Our favorites were the corn whiskey and espresso liqueur plus the black cat that we met. This was a pleasant surprise to stop at while being on a wine tour.

Outstanding spirits! This is a great place to visit and enjoy the spirits they produce. Passionate staff who provide a wonderful experience. Come here and experience this before some hedge fund swoops in and buys them out.

Colin and Kate are purveyors of some of the most interesting spirits I've ever encountered. They're clearly passionate about what they are doing: crafting small batches of some very unique and distinctive offerings. The rye whiskey is deep and complex. It's the sort of thing you'd want to sip with friends with a cold glass of water by the fire. The 100% corn whiskey is one you could easily mix into cocktails or drink straight. It's clean, simple, and delightfully approachable. The vodka is a close typed cousin.......probably the smoothest and cleanest finish of any vodka I've ever tried. The gin, is also extremely clean and just amazing. I have never, ever, found a gin that was so subtly nuanced with fresh citrus scent and tastes......it's smooth, gentle, and eminently drinkable. Even non-gin people will probably find something in this to intrigue. The espresso liqueur is simply delicious as well. If you can't imagine this with the vodka as a Black Russian, or drizzled over some good vanilla ice cream, you aren't challenging yourself! But, my friends: the STAR of the visit was their absinthe! If you've never tried it before, I'll warn you: it will simply ruin you. If you already like absinthe, you're in for a shock! It's got the absinthe punch, but it requires no extensive sugar cube prep. Drop in an ice cube and sip slowly.......every sip is different and sooooo divine! Talking to both owners, they enthuse over crafting spirits that are excellent renditions of their types. "Approachability and drinkability" are words they both use often.......something pretty unique among many small craft distillers. Often, the focus on high-specialty offerings can lose beginners, as it caters only to the more experienced taster. Here, everyone is going to find something to raise an eyebrow.......I'll wager that you'll leave with a lot of their products. Solid win for Killdeer Distillery! In an area where many people visit to check out the many local wineries, this is not a stop to be missed. In fact, it's worth the trip all for itself!

This is so good and refreshing!

Stunning spirits at great prices. Don't miss out on this hidden gem. The Gin, Vodka, and Bourbon are money!

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.

Pilot House Distilling is filled with wonderful people and spirits. We stopped by the food pod for…read morelunch and drinks. While I got a beer my wife if a Gin and Tonic gal which is not for me at all. Unless its Paint Lady Gin apparently! She stopped me and told me I had to try it. I rolled my eyes a little because gin is an thing you either love or hate and I am not a lover of gin but this Gin and Tonic was great! We ended up doing a flight of their Gin and the regular was still by far our favorite. We saw them at the market that weekend a purchased a bottle to bring home! Truly the best Gin I have ever had! I would also like to say as someone who runs a non profit animal rescue Pilot House Distilling donated towards our auction. I put two and two together later. Just goes to show how much they support local.
