Shared stories behind each gin, whiskey, absinthe and liqueur. We ended up grabbing a few bottles and I'd love to be back. Gave us free stickers (it's $1 for 1 and $2 for 2). And I'm pretty sure he waived our tasting. Great spot. Great guy. We'll definitely be back!

There are also some signs along the way and a large sign in the driveway. Parking was easy and the place was well paved for ADA. The tasting room is small but perfect for a few groups and comfy seating. The outdoor area looks nice for picnics, dogs, tasting liquors etc. We purchased the corn whiskey and espresso liqueur. The corn whiskey was smooth and liqeur was subtle in sweetness (which is preferable). The owner was very nice and knew anything you wanted to know about their product. I would purchase from here again and take friends or family.

I didn't try any drinks as I detest whiskey but the husband gave all a thumbs up. Great atmosphere on a tent covered patio with comfy seats. They aren't serving snacks just yet (Covid) but will be soon. Lots of tasting options besides the cocktail flight for hard core whiskey fans. Definitely worth a stop!

We were bummed to see that we were a week too early for the fall whiskey festival, but reached out to see if we could stop in for a tasting. Bev, one of the owners, arranged a private tasting for us and we were blown away! Her spirits are exquisite and there is something that will appeal to everyone's palate. Don't sleep on the cocktails - the Old Fashioned flight was delicious and so much fun! Bev pairs her distiller's knowledge with a deep appreciation for the history of the region and the distillery's namesake. Ask her for the story of Ewing Young, then sit back and enjoy her telling it. Throw in an absurdly bucolic setting and you've got the recipe for a perfect day!!

Finding Absinthe is rare, but Pilot House has it, and it's the real deal with the wormwood. They even have the absinthe pour tap, so they can do it up right. In addition to the absinthe, which I absolutely had to get, I also ordered a gin flight. My server, John, was very knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. The patrons there were all friendly. The atmosphere was comfortable and they had plenty of swag. I bought a tiny bottle of absinthe and a sweatshirt, so I would have fond memories of that fine establishment every time I wore it.

We have visited this veteran-owned distillery several times and have never been disappointed. From…read morethe gracious hosts to the unique spirits, it's quite the experience. A small speakeasy-style tasting room is the backdrop to traditional and smoky bourbons, moonshine, and cordials. (The rumor is they'll be coming out with a gin in the near future!) My personal favorites are the chocolate cordial and the new blueberry cinnamon cordial. My daughter loves the apple pie brandy, cinnamon whiskey, and honey pear cordial. My husband prefers the Viking Lightning (a honey-infused moonshine) and the Whiskey Road bourbon aged in charred white oak. There's something for everyone here! Bonus: They are dog-friendly!

Are they even in business anymore? Can't get a return email. Nothing. Can anyone help?read more

Everything I tasted was stunning, from the expertly smoked meats to the innovative craft cocktails and spirits. They also make sure to have some top notch beers and ciders on tap at all times, and host live music regularly with no cover. The servers were all wonderful, and I look forward to getting back down there again to treat myself. 11/10 would recommend, don't sleep on this place.

The shelves are full of whiskey, brandy, gin, lots of other spirits. I'm a rye guy and tasted the rye whiskey, (light spicy) which I thought were extremely good. Tried the gin made from organic juniper berries - smelled like hiking in a juniper forest, which I remember hiking an old growth juniper forest near Bend, Oregon. Very friendly service. Convivial space right into distillery for a meet up with friends. Bottoms up spirit lovers! liquor is quicker for a good time with your friends! New deal is the right deal to throw down some shots.
