They offer both cocktails and flights Their founders series Wheat, Bourbon and Rye are single grain (100% wheat, 100% corn, 100% Rye respectively) perfect for sipping. Hunter Scott is for mixing and then they have their speciality Hollands series They have the standard versions of Manhattan and Old Fashions, as well as a rotation of seasonal specials Everyone who works their is super friendly and will take the time to talk about their spirits - Mike is our favorite!

They have indoor and outdoor seating and a gender neutral bathroom. You need to be seated at a table to order. They use a table QR code online ordering system so the only time you interact with staff is when you receive your drink. Service was prompt and the drinks were all really good! All drinks are made with their vodka, besides the mocktails. A bit on the pricey side but worth it to catch up with friends in a clean, well lit, and festive environment (during the holiday pop-up). My only gripe is that I wish they had at least a few snacks or finger foods on the menu - it seemed to be entirely drinks.

It's nice that you can order a meal while you enjoy your drink. The menu has changed since my last visit, and instead of ordering at the bar, you can either order on your phone, or have your order taken by one of the waitstaff. This time I tried the So Fresh and So Clean, which reminded me of a mojito, then had a coffee martini drink special. My friend had an El Diablo mule and then a Ballast Bloody. We sat outside as it was nice weather and both enjoyed our drinks. Make sure and stop by if you're in the area.

I'm talking blood orange & cold brew. Also, I enjoy the tasting room! I typically come here to try a new flavor before buying a bottle. The staff is always super welcoming & friendly. It is located in the warehouse, so no bells & whistles. But they have a table inside, and we'll as some benches inside to enjoy your tastings.

It's great to be able to get legal moonshine in my hometown. The flavors are always inventive and delicious. My parents and I came here for tasting, and we all got different things to try out. The new flavors and some of the old special ones I've never had were bright and delicious. They were mixed in the order so I'm not sure which was which other than the yuzu ginger. The staff here is very friendly, and the vibe is low-key. I know I'll probably come back through again when I'm in town to see what new flavors are up for grabs. I think I made my parents big fans, lol.

My friends and I decided to visit this distillery and we were all so happy we did…read more It was very welcoming and had that homey feeling where everyone knew each other. We each got a couple of drinks and we split two appetizers, and everything was very good. I opted for the Bonfire Buzz, which was one of the tastiest rum drinks I've had. It's made with spiced rum, apple cider and ginger beer, and definitely had a kick. We split the Red Eyed Goat and Finklestien's Nachos and both were really good. My other friend got the Beef on Weck sandwich with a side of mac and cheese and really enjoyed his meal. In addition to spirits and mixed drinks, they also offer beer and wine. This a cute place that gives back to the community, and is well worth a visit.

Just note that there is extra parking behind the building. There aren't many great food / dining options within the local area but this place really is a great place in any area. The customer service is great, food is delicious, and the atmosphere is comfy. It was so nice for us that we actually came back twice during a 4 day vacation! :) Recommendation: You have to try the tomato pie dip. It's so delicious. If you're in the area, it's absolutely worth the visit. Food Taste: 5 Overall Service: 5 Value of service to cost: 5 Facility: 5 Ambiance: Small bar that's quaint and open.

Yes! Flights of moonshine! You can either try 6 different moonshines or 3 and a mix drink. I enjoy the Maggie Bailey mixed drink. It's a summer drink that includes lavender.. I recommend all newcomers to try the flight of 6! They offer a moonshine that is 150 proof, 90proof, 80 proof! All the proofs! My favorite is the apple pie moonshine and the cherry! They are silencers lol! They don't have the bite that the 150 or bourbon moonshine has. So if you're ever in the Hanover area give them a gander.

Finally visited hill top distillery last week. Glad we did!…read moreFour adults shared three flights, which meant we could all try a wee taste of all their liquors except one. The owner poured for us and chatted while we stood at the bar to taste; he was very friendly and answered our questions about the spirits and told us about more of the origin of the distillery. I found all of the spirits to be incredibly smooth and drinkable. I loved the apple pie moonshine, the strawberry moonshine, the bourbon, and the maple whiskey. All of the non flavored spirits were good too, and would be worth stocking the bar with: gin, vodka, whiskey, single malt! After we tasted everything we all got a cocktail to enjoy outside in the nice lawn area under an umbrella. We also took home some strawberry moonshine! Yum! It was a lovely visit, and a fun place to bring family we had visiting from Scotland. We'll visit again!

When we entered, we found the two owners, a husband and wife, talking to a group of customers. The wife said as soon as she saw our car pull in, she knew she had to come from the house next door and help her husband. They have been married for over 40 years and really should be a comedy team, very entertaining to listen to their back and forth banter! My friend opted for a Moscow Mule made with their Apple Pie moonshine (or as they call it, "Gooch Hooch"), and she said her drink was delicious. I decided to get a flight of their Apple Pie, Blueberry and Blackberry moonshine. The Apple Pie flavor was definitely my favorite, but the owners said the Lemon and Blackberry were their most popular. They also make several whiskeys, bourbon and gin for those with more adult tastes, lol! Their tasting room is on the smaller size, but is cozy and owners definitely make it entertaining. They've got great outdoor spaces for the warmer weather. My friend and I had a good time and would definitely come back.

Unfortunately I could not even drink the small drink that they fixed for me‍ The huzz ban and I did not like any of their spirits Possibly if more time goes by and aging of their offerings these three "brothers" might make it!
