Our tour guide told us about this place on our way out and on the way back we decided to stop by before heading back to our ship. We tried a sample of their created spirits. Absolutely amazing. So good we decide to stay a while to order a couple of drinks before heading back. We tried the Spruce Tip Tonic and the Almond Sour. The tonic was good but the Almond Sour was next level! Quaint little place to sit and chat. The stills they use are there to view. Janilyn (sp?) was nice, engaging, and very helpful. read more

This is a must do if you visit Skagway! 10/10 experience, staff and drinks! It's a little bit of a walk from the port but totally worth it. The drinks were outstanding and the team was so helpful and friendly. You can tell they love their jobs and the spirits (gin and vodka). There is both indoor and outdoor seating. We will definitely be back on our next visit to Skagway. read more

Best cocktails in a town. Very friendly lady serving. Bloody Mary was made with dill. read more

Skagway Spirits Distillery - Distilleries Near Me - Skagway, Alaska

We had an absolutely brilliant time at this out-of-the-way small batch distillery on the outskirts of town. Got a tip from someone at the local visitors center about this spot, so we took a chance and hiked on up to their location...so glad we did! The inside was quirky and interesting, with great tunes playing as well. The guy behind the bar (sorry, cannot remember his name) was a hoot and we quickly connected with him as he made our craft cocktails. They were so good, we had a round two before stumbling our way back to town for dinner. It was a real treat to find this spot, and being my wife's birthday made it even that much more special. Thanks for all you do, Skagway Spirits Distillery! read more

Happened in here last week upon suggestion. It was perfectly off the beaten path. We arrived to a comfortable tasting room with inside and outside seating. We sampled some gin, and then had a gin and tonic. We left happily with a bottle for our home bar. Highly recommend their gin and a visit. See website for more information. Easy street parking or a short walk from the center of town. (Stop into nearby public library if you have time. We enjoyed a quiet read there.) read more

Great cocktails, locally distilled on site. Right next to the Skagway airport. Worth the short walk from downtown. Favorite amongst the locals. Highly recommend while Visiting Skagway. read more

You'll have to walk almost a mile away from the tourist area, and it'll totally be worth it ! This tiny place was amazing. I checked it out while my friends went for the train tour. The bartender offered me samples of the gin and vodka. Then I told him I generally prefer bourbon over gin & vodka, so the bartender (forgot to ask the gentleman's name) offered to make an old fashion (they just started doing bourbon and they had a small batch [not officially selling yet] ) I think it was aprox 55% alcohol content. I just sipped it while amazed at the view of the mountains and the private airport next to it. haha. Upon finishing my drink, I went back to meet up with my friends and brought them all back to Skagway Spirit's Distilliery. My friends thought I brought them to a sketchy area, as we were off the beaten path. (Are there any dangerous areas in Alaska?) My second drink was a dirty martini. Was solid, but couldn't touch the old fashioned. So I ordered old fashion again. My friends tried a few different drinks from the menu. Overall - the most special drink was an almond sour. It was ridiculously good. Amazing flavor, and balance. If they would of sold bourbon bottles for sales, I would of bought one. Drinks were surprisingly inexpensive ($10 per drink) Highly recommended for anyone visiting the area. I might not ever return, but was a very special memory. read more

Go here! We had some fabulous cocktails at Skagway Spirits Distillery, and were especially blown away by the rhubarb Collins. Omg, so damn delicious and beautiful to look at too. The fireweed cosmo was tasty to boot. Our bartender was super friendly, nice & welcoming. The bar is cute, and decorated well. Again, go here. You won't be disappointed. read more

Skagway Spirits Distillery - Gin - Distilleries Near Me - Skagway, Alaska

We love Skagway simply for the people... but the drinks help too! I had the classic gin and tonic, which was amazing, and the hubby had the Rhubarb Collins. The distiller distills the gin with herbs and florals in such a way that won't overpower your taste buds or mixed drinks. We decided to purchase a bottle for home. The merch here is also really cool, the coolest shirts I bought in all of Alaska, and I bought a LOT of bar shirts... probably too many (is that possible? I don't know!). We loved that the locals are passionate about Skagway and open to teach you about the amazing history and their current way they live life there. Truly a wonderful experience. Skagway is by far our favorite. We had an awesome time roaming around with Redd (part owner/captain of Sea Craft Hover Tours... make sure to check that tour out too!) read more

Hugely friendly people, great atmosphere, and an incredible logo! Highly recommended--take the walk!

Was hard to find. We had to ask 3 different locals for location/directions. Not sure they want tourists to know about it. Be advised, they only have Vodka and Gin. read more

Wonderful small business with great spirits and amazing craft cocktails. We stopped in here after hiking to the cemetery and Lower Reid Falls in Skagway. We were warmly greeted and offered samples of their gin and vodka. The owner explained the process of making the syrups used in the cocktails, which included rhubarb and fireweed. We had 2 cocktails each and every drink was amazing. At only $8 each they are an incredible bargain for a craft cocktail. This place really is a hidden gem. Well worth a visit! read more

Small quaint place, it's just about a 9 minute walk from the main strip. Totally worth visiting! They make small batch vodka and gin that is really good. The vodka goes down so smooth. Their drinks are delicious. the guy gave us a couple shots and they were perfect took some Vodka home with us. Would definitely come here again! read more

Great place to visit while in Skagway! Just a few blocks off the main drag, but well worth the walk. Locally crafted gin and vodka with a truly Alaskan flair. They make an outstanding series of craft cocktails, including a gin & tonic that incorporates local spruce tips (source of anti-oxidants), and has the added advantage of being delicious. Ehud, the bartender was a great source of information about the spirits as well as local life in Skagway. Definitely a must-stop for a return trip to Skagway! read more

The wife and I decided we would continue our drinking tour and go off the beaten path about 10 minutes to this distillery. I am not a Vodka and Gin fan but the way it is distilled is delicious and all of the mixed drinks we tried were worth getting again. read more

Awesome distillery. A little walk from the main town but it is fantastic. The bar staff is friendly and the drinks are AMAZING! I had the blueberry lemon drop and it was fantastic. Love this place and would go back in a heart beat! read more

Great view. Awesome drinks. We had the orange negroni- definitely not like a regular negroni- but a unique must try has a cool anise taste. Then we had the rhubarb Collins with vodka. It was really refreshing and tasty. The owner we talked to was super friendly and answered all our questions. He said everything is made in house and everything we had was amazing. Work the walk away from the main road. read more

What a fun experience. Great drinks, fun atmosphere. If your looking for something different, this place is it. Drinks are delicious.

Absolutely delicious spirits and cocktails in a cute, comfortable place. Great customer service too - we were even offered a ride to port by the Manager/Owner when we were worried that the shuttle wouldn't make it back in time! We tried about six drinks and all of them were delicious. My group agreed that it was the best bloody mary that we've ever had! They do a great job incorporating the local flora into their spirits. Definitely a worthy stop! read more

Dropped in after a hike on a hot day. I tried the rhubarb collins and fireweed cosmo. They hit the spot; refreshing and tasty. The owner's dog would come in and look around, but never yapped at those coming and going, which I appreciate when trying to relax. No food though. Had to go elsewhere for a late lunch. read more

The lady at the counter was incredibly kind and hospitable. The cocktails we had were made with all local ingredients and were nicely executed. The establishment seemed very experimental with what they're doing and I'm excited to come back again to see the results. read more

The personnel we met (Luke and his father) were awesome and really passionate about the artistry and creativity of their gin and vodka. They provided us with interesting conversation on oak-aged gin and the different methods used in their distillery due to the far distances of Alaska. The atmosphere is full of local artists' works and their inner working are visible from the tasting room. If you are interested in craft distilleries, you HAVE to visit Skagway Spirits! Thank you Luke! read more

We were to do the train tour and it was canceled due to a rock slide leaving us nothing to do for the day. Due to the amount of ships in port there were few affordable choices. The Skagway Distillery tour was available. Janeanne , the owner , picked us up and gave a great tour of her town. Once at the distillery we had several drinks and tasted many of their new products. The tour was informative and given by the son Lukas, but it is a small operation, don't expect the Cruzan Rum factory. Once ready to leave , Gary , the owners husbandwas to finish and take us back. We ended up in his Model A with my wife sitting in the rumble seat. As we drove through town people took pictures and she waved at them . She had forgotten her Tervis cup in the van , we called and Gary brought it back with dogs in tow in the convertible. The tour was a little expensive for what you get but most are in Skagway. I would recommend to bypass the tour but go to the distillery and meet the family. Great drinks , great vodka. read more

If you are in the mood for something off the beaten path, not touristy and well worth the visit, this is the place for you. Because it was for us thanks to Smart transit bus driver who took us there. They distill their own Vodka and Gin here and it is GREAT!!!! Awesome Lemon Drop Martini, stupendous Gin and Tonic, a Screwdriver that hits the spot and a Cosmopolitanism that's out of this world. Great ambience and welcoming atmosphere. And if your hungry, there is a small BBQ joint out front that is just right for a bite. I'd order the pork and beans again in a heartbeat, wish I'd tried the burrito. read more
