My favorite would have to be the coffee liquor, must try! They also offer a wide selection of cocktails. One of the things I loved is that they support local business including farmers by using their products in their spirit making process. Another favorite of mine was the building and how the wood and metals are all repurposed. Definitely recommend stopping by here.

I did my final tasting at their tasting room at the airport. There were 2 wonderful ladies there. I had the most contact with Chloe. She really knew her stuff. Presentation sold me. I have 5 visitors coming from France in April and they will have the Empress & tonic to impress and amazing. How can one describe the incredible color? Lavendar? Amethyst? The taste was off the hook. With Chloe's advice I located the Empress 1908 Gin in town and didn't have to carry it in carry on with the airlines. And the 5 Frenchies vising me in April will have amazing cocktails. Yaay. Get it.

Aaron came out as we were looking for Plan B and let us know the event had just ended and they were open again. (5 loud cheers on the street for sure!) I tried both the Kyoto and Wet Work, enjoying them both. They would even work as a blend of one another. My dad accidentally ordered a chocolate martini instead of an espresso martini, and Aaron made it happen. (The entire table loved it! Take that poured over some ice cream and I'd be far too content!) My brother had the gin martini, and while not a fan of gin straight up, it had a nice smooth finish that I could appreciate.
