    So I've had Verdi Distillery's amazing whiskey a few times, but hadn't actually gone to their awesome establishment until recently. For starters, you walk into a very intimate distillery and tasting room, thinking that it's super small and quaint (which it totally is), but then you walk through some more and realize that they have a few other rooms and then a whole outdoor area that you had no idea existed! We came on a cold November day for my husband's birthday, and had the absolute best time drinking, playing games and chatting with the lovely ladies there! The Offkilter is the smoothest, peanut buttery whiskey you will ever have! We also thoroughly enjoyed the season apple cinnamon whiskey (so much that we bought a bottle). They have seasonal drinks, and take so much pride in what they do (which they absolutely should)! I cannot wait to come back when it warms up to enjoy the vast array of outdoor fun they have!

    Not sure if it's a tradition in Verdi but I'd love to sign that board! (all bags in)

    The spirits are phenomenal, creative and unique, we didn't taste one we didn't like! The atmosphere, vibe and local feel take it to the next level! We sat with Sky for a few hours, sharing our stories, laughter and friendship. It's like that there, you walk in and are immediately friends with everyone you meet! We started with a tasting of everything before having a delicious cocktail. I can't say which one was a favorite because they all have a place at the table. The Absinthe definitely struck my fancy though, the flavor is like no other! We took a nice little tour of the place and boy oh boy is that backyard area inviting! I wish we lived near Verdi, we'd be hanging out back there very regularly!! It's spacious, fun and inviting with tons of seating and a nice bar area. I highly recommend taking plenty of time to enjoy Verdi Local Distillery is you're in the area and hope you love it as much as we do!

    This peanut butter whiskey is coming home with me

    This local distillery is small but impressive! So cute inside and has some of the best peanut butter whiskey I've ever tasted. Also loved the apple cinnamon. Very smooth and high quality. Could use these in so many different cocktails but they're also great as shots. Service was so friendly-can't wait to return!

    Great hangout with awesome people!

    I just have to post again about this great place. They consistently make amazing drinks with locally made whiskey on site. You can't go wrong if you want a very nice drink! The owner and bartenders are so awesome. I also can't say enough about the great outdoor patio durning the warmer days. Great vibe here!

    If you're looking for a fun outdoor hang with live music, this is the place to go! Everything is distilled on site and the bartender was nice enough to let us sample their large variety of whiskies. You can purchase a bottle and enjoy these delicious cocktails at home!

    Great place for whiskey and ambience! Went to the distillery to add my chili recipe to the chili festival. Had a great time, met some wonderful people and creative new whiskey drinks! Personally love the mix of coffee whiskey and peanut butter whiskey, but the bar tenders will make you something fantastic.

    The best place to visit in Reno! The staff are super friendly, attentive but also laid back. Whiskey mixed drinks are so good! I love the atmosphere, the outside set up feels like I'm at home enjoying time with friends. Highly recommended.

    If you've ever been hesitant about taking the trek out to Verdi to check out Verdi Local Distillery, don't be - it's a quick drive from Reno and you'll be glad you went. We were warmly welcomed by Distillery Manager Sky and co-owner Jeremy and given a tour of the rustic and charming property, including the make out room and backyard patio, complete with a music stage and a beautiful view of the mountains. We tasted several of their spirits, including the Apple Cinnamon Whiskey, Offkiltur Peanut Butter Whiskey, and Black Licorice Whiskey - all stellar. We also enjoyed sipping on a Bloody Mary (made with their Garlic Whiskey and house bloody mix), Verdi Mule (made with the Apple Cinnamon Whiskey and ginger beer), and the weekly special, the Sazerac (made with the Constellation Whiskey and Absinthe) - so delicious! We can't wait to come back with the dogs and catch some live music out in the backyard.

    My husband and I visited the distillery on a Saturday afternoon and shared the full tasting flight. I was a little nervous because it was TWELVE shots (hello I'm not in college anymore!) but they were small, and some weren't alcoholic or full proof. I couldn't believe how many different flavors there were! From lemon to coffee, peanut butter to garlic, there's definitely something for everyone in addition to your standard whiskey. I had two favorites--the coffee flavor for one, and the lemon one will be absolutely heavenly on a hot summer day. Definitely go in the order they recommend, as the garlic whiskey closer will destroy your palate! Cool vibe and friendly staff, in addition to the great drinks. Will be back for sure!

    I've been meaning to write a review of this place but wanted to wait until I saw them in person. This local business is full of nice, passionate people who know their stuff, make great whiskey (and I'm not even a whiskey drinker) and they participate in many local events. I've seen them at Bacon bourbon and brews and at Winter wonderland at the Atlantis. I finally got the chance to go to their actual facility which is an older, small, cute place with awesome country decor, whiskey barrels galore, and an entire back yard of fire pits, corn hole, an extra bar and a stage where they have live music on occasions. I've gotten to try a lot of their products and have to admit their Bloody Mary mix with their garlic whiskey is amazing!! I also very much love their lemon whiskey as well as their normal straight forward whiskey. They are always switching up their music inside and outside too.

    We never have a bad time here, everything about this place rocks. The building is actually a small house with not very much room inside, but this is honestly one of our favorite things about this place. It almost feels like a house party and forces you to talk to the people around you, we always make friends when we come here. On warm days they also have a beautiful backyard that's a little more spacious. We opted for the tasting board which in total is about 5 shots (don't be discouraged by the 12 shot glasses you will receive, they're really only half shots). All the flavored whiskeys are amazing, the peanut butter is my favorite though. The jackalope gin is potentially the smoothest gin I've ever had. It doesn't have that harsh bite that most gin has, making it the perfect sipper gin. If you're ever fortunate enough to pass through Verdi, definitely make sure this is a stop.
