They made us a complimentary cocktail and we ended up staying waaaayyyy past our 45 min booked time. Ingredients are as local as local can get and spirits are craft small batch made. Prices are more than fair. ONLY downside is the road is extremely bumpy with potholes but not their fault. Great place, will be back! Support local y'all!

I took some up to a big vodka drinker in East Hampton, NY and he raved about it. He always asks me when I'm bringing more up.

I've been to Fierce Whiskers a few times so obviously I thought pretty highly of it and so I held…read moreoff on writing this review because I kept vacillating on my overall experience. I want to start off by saying that my experience with staff during my visits has always, ALWAYS been great. From the very first time I walked in and sat at the bar with my friend, every bartender has been great, friendly, engaging, very much excited to talk about the products, excellent drinks. Terrific. I liked it so much that I wanted to throw an event there and this is where my experience turns left. I emailed the events coordinator, no response. We actually went back and spoke with staff and they said they'd also try to send an e-mail. Nothing. When the events manager said it would require paying for the entire space and quoted me an astronomical number which obviously I didn't even entertain. Fast forward to that day and I brought some people there for cocktails anyway. There were like 6 people-I was quoted like 7500 to close out the room. I doubt they made 7500 that day, and now it makes sense that they've been 'temporarily closed' for a few months.

It's definitely a destination, in the sense that you're not going to just stumble across it on your next walk. I happen to love this vibe. The crowd skews a bit older, despite the fact that cocktails range from $8 - 10. When I went, it was chill, and a big country band was out jamming on the gazebo. There's also a smaller stage indoors. They brew/distill everything on sight and I've been told there are sporadic tours, which I really want in on. Hopefully those start up again soon! I know I'll be back for a bottle of whiskey, regardless.

They have 2 rooms with a lot of seating, and an outdoor stage where the band was performing. I really enjoyed the band, and they drew a good sized crowd. I enjoyed my drinks. I forgot to take a picture of the last one, the Mango Volcano, made with chipotle rum, and it was my favorite. The drinks are well made and reasonably priced which I loved. Everyone at the bar was very friendly. I do wish there had been a little more outdoor seating, but it looked like they were repairing some of their picnic tables. The location and band made for a fun Friday night. Link to the band's website: http://www.bookthecovers.com

It was so good, we walked out of there with two bottles, their Kooper Family rye (our very…read morefavorite) and their Sweetheart if the Rodeo bourbon (90 proof blended bourbon whiskey). Both are quite drinkable neat. But we also had fun making old fashioneds with both, as well. At just $45 a bottle, it's a heck of a deal. So much better than most is the $50 to $80 whiskeys we buy. Plus, as an added bonus, the Kooper family is very hospitable, informative, fun to hang out with at the bar, and they offer nice tastings at a great price ($16 for three pours), which allows you to determine which bottle is your favorite. You can't get that experience or that level of service at any liquor store! If you find yourself within an hour of this place, you need to visit! While you're in town, checkout the big antique store in Giddiness and have lunch or dinner at Los Patrones. Giddings will soon become one of your favorite towns.

The young lady behind the bar was super nice and let me sample a few offerings. I settled in The Prodigal Son. Smooth, not too peppery. Nice sipper. Once I got home, I poured me a bigger taste. Very good and added a few pieces of Sonic ice and that was it. Good pour.

Still Austin Whiskey is top quality and probably some of the best whiskey you can get in Austin…read more This compliment is coming from both a friend of mine who really enjoys whiskey and from me, even though I don't drink as much. The quality and taste are truly top-tier. When we go with a group of friends, we like to order a flight so everyone can try different flavors. The whiskey is strong, but still very smooth and tasty. They also have a limited edition release called Nancy's Pick at the beginning of every month, and it usually sells out within a few days. That alone tells you how popular it is. We like bringing friends here when they visit Austin, and it's also a great place to grab a bottle or two as souvenirs when traveling out of state to visit family or friends. Good whiskey, good vibe, and super friendly staff. Definitely worth checking out.

The club along with friends from Dallas and San Antonio headed east after the Texas Independence Day Parade. Libation education started at Derelict Airship AKA Violet Crown Spirits just west of Bastrop. You've hear of strip mall chic? Think business park chic! Quite similar to my friends over at Desert Door in Driftwood. Matt was an excellent host explaining the history behind each of their offerings. Let's start with Absinthe. Banned for many years in the US and parts of Europe, small batch distilleries have been popping up in the US since 2007. The anise flavor is quite strong and it's recommended you cut it with water. I've heard sugar cubes are common as well. Other in house offerings include an Elderflower and Jasmine Liqueur. Girlfriend and I's personal favorite was the Jasmine and we took home a bottle to pair up with other local spirits. A top notch experience from start to finish. Our group is excited to see this company grow. See y'all soon!
