What a fun find! I was looking for a place to have a cocktail before going to my new grad's party and found this place close by. You don't have to do a tour or tasting to stop by and enjoy a cocktail, but I ended up trying a flight of their liquor anyways! Honestly, all the booze was delicious! I tried two flavored vodkas, two rums, and their newest caramel whiskey and each one was smooth and easy drinking. We also tried a couple cocktails off the menu that were good, get the coconut rum and pineapple juice one. The service was on point and the owner even made his way around the tasting room to introduce himself and say hi. Although the tasting room is smallish there is a good amount of seating and a great selection of the pirate-themed booze on display to peruse while sipping. Check this little gem out and grab a bottle for later!
Awesome ambiance and great products! I'm always suspect when a distillery has such a huge selection of liquors available. My usual experience is that most of them are pretty lackluster. That is not the case here! Everything my wife and I sampled was very good! The bartender was very pleasant and even the owner stopped by our table to chat. We made a pretty big purchase and they were kind enough to throw in a few freebies! Will definitely be back the next time we're in the area!
A great small distillery with lots of choices from salted caramel Vodka Or jalapeño Vodka to Apple pie, flavored whiskey, and even bourbon. They have their own distillery, which appears to be right there on site behind the glass at the bar. Tasting room manager Alana was super friendly, great service and we would definitely go back. A little pirate atmosphere is certainly well fitting in our area.
When you step into Loaded Cannon Distillery, you are met with pirate fare, barrel high tops & plenty of spirits! We were hitting up several distilleries on the Florida Distillery Trail and popped in to sample and perhaps buy a bottle or two. You can grab a flight here for a small fee and sample a variety of their spirits. Vodka, gin, rum, bourbon, whiskey & cellos. Vodka: Regular Corn Vodka Lime Lemon Black Cherry Strawberry Mango Habanero Jalapeno Chocolate Cocoa Orange Peppermint 17botanical + Hibiscus Gin and 17botanical gin Barrel aged Rum: Dark Spiced Maple Pecan Port barrel finished Toasted Coconut Butterscotch Spiced Espresso Coffee Vanilla Rum Pumpkin Pie (Seasonal) Straight Bourbon Whiskey Straight rye whiskey Whiskey from a bourbon mash Whiskey from a rye mash Peanut Butter whiskey straight rye, port finished bourbon, light whiskey, wheat whiskey Limoncello **I didn't try them all, port finished rum and bourbon were both delicious (naturally), chocolate cocoa & orange vodkas were tasty, toasted coconut, vanilla & butterscotch rums were all wonderful too. I liked the pumpkin pie rum too! We left with butterscotch rum & port finished bourbon. My favorite part was the distiller-owner bragging about the water! It was also delish and some say the most important part of distilling!
We had a fantastic time visiting this distillery! As soon as you walk in you are greeted by Alana who does a terrific job of entertaining, making you feel like one of the family and giving information about the distillery. You are quickly met my the "master" himself Steve. He clearly has a passion for making alcohol! It definitely shows when you try the different varieties.. vodka, rum, whiskey, gin, etc. They have won awards and taste great!! My favorites were the Limoncello Lapsang Souchong Whisky and Strait Bourbon and Rye whiskey... just to name a few! He is so informative and entertaining as well. We learned so much on our tour and highly recommend paying the $15 each person to take the tour which includes 5 samples. No one is a stranger at this place and we made new friends. The hospitality shown by the "dynamic duo"(Steve and Alana) was awesome! They have merchandise such as local coffee( Monkey Cult) , Bloody Mary mix (7sins), shirts, shot glasses, etc. They have live music on Fridays nights as well.
Great Hospitality, Outstanding Selection, and Cool Atmosphere. Professional distillation processes and very nice tour.
They have an interesting selection of rum! When we got there we wanted to know what they had available, and called from the car. They told us to come in and look at the menu. I thought perhaps I could see it from the door, but when I opened the door the place was packed with a maskless crowd, including the employees. So, not wanting to risk that, I returned to the car, researched things on the web site, and called to see if they would walk out a couple of bottles to stock our bar. One of the employees was very nice, and actually put together and surprised us with taster flight and brought it out; we sat on the tailgate to taste. She apologized that they were booked inside for a bridal shower. I mentioned that it shocked me to see so many people inside. The selection contained coconut, coffee, dark, butterscotch, spiced, and lite rums. That was very nice, but perhaps that wasn't the best way to taste them... they had a good smooth flavor, but differences were subtle. We ended up getting spiced rum for the holidays, lite rum as a gift, and dark rum. We definitely plan to go back next year... hopefully it'll be safe then to get a tour.. it looked like a really nice facility! It would be nice to sit and enjoy a proper tasting.
WOW!!! What a great find. My wife took me here as the beginning of my birthday celebration and I'm so glad she did! We started out with a tour of the distillery by its founder & owner Steve. It was a very interesting tour full of great information about not only liquor in general but specifically everything about his concept. It was sooo great to know that ALL of the ingredients that he's using are ALL sourced locally. After a very interesting tour by an incredibly interesting and proud master distiller we went back to the 'Bar' area and had a flight of all their distilled spirits. In my entire life, there are VERY few liquors I don't drink, and that is due primarily to my 'Over Indulging' on them at one point in my life (college). The one spirit I have never developed a taste for is Gin. Then adding the nasty taste of Tonic to it, made it a 'no can do' for me. Well, after tasting THEIR Gin, I have completely changed my mind. Such a great 'floral' taste without that HEAVY Juniper Berry taste. I drank it straight with NO awkward face manipulations and then our 'Tour Guide' added their homemade 'Shrubs' to my gin and took it to another delicious level. I am now a Gin fan but ONLY for their "Margoza" Gin. I am not a loyal vodka drinker but if I do have a vodka, I enjoy Tito's. Tito's claim to fame is the fact that they are filtered six times and to my surprise at this distillery, they normally filter 7 times AND have the capability of doing it 17 times!!! As with the gin I tasted, their vodka was extremely delicious and is now my favorite vodka. We also sampled the dark rum which was good and then the spiced rum and toasted coconut rum. In my opinion the spiced rum and toasted coconut rum were amazingly awesome and I enjoyed them more than the dark rum. This distillery has only been open for eight weeks so they are still on some of their first batch spirits. Being an amazing entrepreneur, they take feedback from all of their guests and change the ingredients based on what is being more expected. After everyone in our party enjoyed our flight of spirits, we began purchasing various bottles for our own home enjoyment! They also sell an amazing (which we tasted) pre-made Bloody Mary Mix In 3 spicy levels. I then spoke to Michelle, who handles just about every additional aspect outside of Steve's responsibilities of creating amazingly delicious spirits about bringing in a group of friends to take advantage of their "Pyrate Hour" which is PERFECT for small groups! Not only is it a good thing to support A local business, but a local business that produces such a high quality product is an easy decision to make. I can't recommend enough to anyone reading this review that you should make a point of going there and trying out their different spirits and buy as much as you possibly can. They have an enormous amount of events that they are participating in as well as events that will be at their location. I strongly suggest everyone check out their website and be part of their growth. And YES, I bought a t-shirt!!!!

I don't even know where to start! I think I had the best Bloody Mary I have ever tasted from this distillery. They infusion jalapeños in their vodka and serve this drink with a PASTA straw. This was absolutely heaven. We did complete the tour, and this was informative. The bathrooms were clean and had amazing quotes on the walls. read more

A hidden gem! We enjoyed live music, board games, and a flight of whiskey, rum, & vodka. I liked the cocktails too. Inside is a pirate theme bar. Small tables for 2-4 people. Live entertainment from time to time. Or games any time! Thrilled to find a new spot! Though, we wish it was open a little longer than 9. By 8 o'clock, it was dead. Plan accordingly. ;) read more
Love coming to this place they have really good alcohol that they make in house and they keep making new ones that also tastes really good. I love sitting there for a drink at the atmosphere is awesome. Their staff does a really nice job chatting you up and answering any questions that you may have. read more

I was looking to take my husband out for an afternoon on his birthday. He enjoys whiskey and had been on a recent trip to Kentucky to visit whiskey distilleries with some of his friends, so I thought this would be a perfect place. It was not only the perfect place, but he also learned a lot more about whiskey at Loaded Cannon Distillery, than what he was previously exposed to in Kentucky! IMAGINE THAT! I had called ahead to find out the hours and was greeted cordially by Alana who was extremely helpful. When I showed up with my husband a few days later, she remembered my name and was very helpful in getting us acquainted with the tastings they offer. Should I state instead...THE MANY TASTINGS THEY OFFER!! Once we were settled in, Steve the owner, came out to great us along with other guests who were in the bar area and we started on our tour of the distillery. Steve has an extensive background in chemical engineering as well as a black belt in whiskey trivia as he was a wealth of knowledge throughout the tour. If you have ever been on a distillery tour or not, I highly recommend you take this tour as you will be shocked on how much knowledge Steve has to share with you! It was obvious to all of us on the tour that this was not only an immaculate operation, but an operation that did not spare any expense in making sure it created the very best product. When I say that, I mean you really can't comprehend the type of equipment or the great lengths Steve went to in order to use the purest water for his products!! TRULY AHHMAZING! After the tour, Alana greeted my husband with a slice of decadent Spiced Rum Cake that was super moist with rum and made his birthday extra special! Looking for a whiskey, rum or vodka gift for someone special, maybe even personalized...look no further! From liquor gifts to t shirts, Loaded Cannon Distillery will have something for you! Needless to say, we will be back very soon with our friends! Many thanks to Steve and Alana for a wonderful and enlightening afternoon! ***They also support and give back to the community!!*** read more

Got rained out at the beach so a quick ol' Yelp search for a distillery led us here on a Saturday late afternoon. What a find and so impressed it's only been open a little over a year! Thank you to Jay and owner Steve for a wonderful and memorable experience. From all the tastings (great deal btw for 5 tastings and shot glass to keep), to the welcoming atmosphere, tips on making drinks with their products, and great conversation...we can't wait to come back and continue to buy their stuff. They had such different things we've never heard of before, and we were so intrigued and surprised by how delicious it all was. I personally loved their strawberry vodka and also lemon vodka, but what really blew us away was the jalapeño vodka. Yes. You read that right. Mixed with a local Bloody Mary mix they sell there and it was a complete mind blow. We went home with a bottle of both, plus strawberry vodka and two bottles of shrubs (if you don't know what that is...go and find out!! ) Go, go, go to this place, take your time sampling...you won't be disappointed. We can't wait to see where they take this business. It's only the beginning for them!! read more

Hands down the best distillery tour I've been on! Given by the owner and he gave so many details and science-y info (which as a math/science teacher it was fantastic!!). The tasting was great and I'm disappointed I didn't buy the gin this time. Will definitely be back for more, and another bottle or two! Cheers!! read more
