You find yourself randomly in the outer burbs at Top Golf, Jungle Jims's or Liberty Center, and you want a delicious local craft or bourbon bar. You look around and see tons of strip malls and chains. What's a local to do? Map yourself to nearby downtown Middletown, a charming reemerging historic city. On the outskirts of the downtown area, park easily on the street (or behind) and find yourself at a local husband and wife owned distillery. Here, you will find the real deal. Plentiful bourbon selection, owners who understand booze and make it too, peanuts, comfortable seating, friendly locals who care, great music, events, proximity to local events downtown, and access to delicious eats. And reasonable drinks! No longer are we going to pay $17 for our old fashioneds. We have found the place and it is here. Try the Mike's Old Fashioned, then walk out to the back patio, have a smoke, or cross the green space and find yourself at New Ales with delicious pizza. Highly recommended for a drive or if in the area.

White Dog Ice Tea was their version of a Long Island, and was refreshing, tart, and not overly boozy tasting. I got the Cherry Mama, which was a very tropical drink that kind of reminded me of pineapple upside down cake. They also participate in DORA, so you can take your drinks and walk around town (designated area). Really cool. Clean place. Air conditioned well for a hot summer day. Great customer service. Overall, great experience. Will definitely be back.

This distillery is interesting because they were the largest mail order alcohol provider back in the 1800s. The owner showcased some of their classic whiskeys between their bourbons and their ryes then brought us back to the barrels that you can bottle from and gave us a tasting to help us choose which barrels we would want to bottle. I ended up blending two barrels for an incredibly smooth bourbon that I'm excited to open up! We ended with a couple more tastings to choose between the maple rye and maple bourbon. We left with a couple bottles and an experience that we won't forget! The space is extremely small but I felt like it helped with the intimate experience. I think I'll have to make it back soon to support this fantastic small business bringing back some history! Overall, highly recommend!!

We came in with the intent to get the Legacy Bourbon, their collaboration with Hayner, but we needed up leaving with a second bottle that won us over during the tasting. Staff were friendly and informative. The stills are the oldest continuously operated pot stills in the country and they are right in the tasting room. Overall, we really liked this small little distillery and would be back if we are in the area.

Hung out with these folks for a conference on their grounds, which are amazing btw, and got to taste their bourbon selections and even blend our own custom blends which I shared with my friends.

I am glad I did. I usually find this is the good route. You can see from the pictures how amazing this place is. I wish I would've taken pictures of the bar itself and the outside grounds too. Amazing property to say the least. You have to go here and hear their amazing story. And for the bourbon of course.
