Stopped in for tastings but weren't there for too long since they only have about 4 varieties and…read morewe have already had two of them. :) The tastings are free and we came in for their debut of the Maple liqueur, which is kinda like rum and maple syrup, very tasty. We bought a bottle of this to take home and I overheard them telling a customer about recipes on their website, so I'll have to look a few up. We also tried the maple-coffee liqueur which had a stronger flavor than their other products. The couple next to us really enjoyed this but for us, we'll stick with the other three. We didn't taste the maple shine or their maple bourbon (I'm not actually sure if it's bourbon, but we've gone through a bottle drinking it neat and it's very good), since we've had these two before. Atmosphere- they had a big fan but it was hot in there, no AC. There's a few comfy seats and room to stand at the bar. The wooden bar itself is beautiful and the decor is nice too. This place is great for: -Booking for a private party (if they do that?) -Stopping in quickly for a tasting and to take a bottle home -Sitting down to enjoy a cocktail

This review is about a month late, but had a great experience when I visited Black Squirrel. It's…read morelocated a little bit off the main drag of Elmwood and if you blink you may miss it driving by. The inside was small but well done with a cool custom front bar. The guy working was extremely knowledgable and helpful as we were not familiar with the maple syrup process and what they're making is different than the other distilleries that have opened the past couple of years in Buffalo. Tried the mapleshine and the aged rum spirit. Unique taste to both but very good and both had a bite in their pure form. The highlight were the mixed drinks that were made with homemade simple syrups - this cut the bite a little and brought out the maple flavor. Bought some bottles and hoping to see Black Squirrel at more events and bars.

Amazing spirits! They won #1 (Gold) for their vodka & #2…read more(Silver) for the Gin (my fav and amazing) at the "Spirit World" competition The staff were really sweet and kind the host Luba was so sweet and welcoming! Wayne (one of the distillers came out and talked w us a little about each spirit since it was pretty quiet and early when we came. The had an array of spirits my fav was the gin the rum and the peach moonshine. Seasonally they also had a jalapeño moonshine that won an award! We got a taste and it was a fav as well! If visiting Niagara on the Lake which is only 15/20 mins from Lincoln/St. Catherine's Jordan and downtown Niagara come out and support the locals and CLEAN made spirits. The ambiance is super cute it doubles as a retail for the spirits they sell as well as beautiful dried flowers and vinyl records. They also have a POOL TABLE one of the only ones in the region!

Do NOT order online from this place. I ordered a Caesar kit from them on Christmas Day. Since it…read morewas the holiday season, I gave them some grace and knew that the shipment would probably take longer than the 1-3 business days that the website states. No big deal, I'm a patient person. Once it hit 10 business days and still no email regarding it being shipped, I sent a quick email. No response. So a few days later, I sent a message through their website. No response. Another email a couple of days later. No response. Finally I call them and am told that Daniel will call me back... I get an email that basically states "Sorry for the delay, I refunded your shipping, it will go out Friday thing Monday morning.". (Huh?! Oof). Again, no tracking number, no contact, no product. I emailed again to ask for a tracking number. No response. It's a month later, and no product. I call again, get a lady who says she will talk to Daniel and call me back. To her credit, she calls me back that day. She says it will be sent Monday, with express shipping, and I should have it by Wednesday. (Ontario to Alberta - doubtful). I ask her to send me a tracking number and she says she will personally call me on Monday with it. Well, you can guess what happened at this point. No call, no email, no product. Now I'm REALLY fed up (like I said, I'm patient, but over a month of getting the run around has finally worn it thin), and why won't the guy in charge even bother to speak with me?! I call back, speak with her again, she says they had three packages returned to them and mine was among them. That makes no sense at all to me, I'd sure like to see what the (non-existent) tracking said on all three of those. She says Daniel will sort it out. NOTHING. We're now into February. I call back, speak to the first gentleman again, he assures me that Daniel will contact me. Righhhht. I wait another week before one more phone call that went unanswered during business hours - they probably have call display. LOL. My next call was to Visa to dispute the charge. The next day I get an email with a short apology stating that he will refund me. No explanation as to why they haven't sent it. Over a week later, on Feb.13th, I finally received a refund. I don't even know if he provided it, or if Visa did... My bet is on Visa. What a joke of a business. Get your act together!
