Our waitress checked in on us a few times, but it was very slow, so she was keeping busy which is great. I believe the owner was there as well and answered some e off the wall question I had about some other Yelp review pictures (the one with the barrels for sale cause that deal looked unreal!). This place is super clean and very inviting. Even walking in the door an employee was walking out and just randomly gave us a friendly hello while looking at the menu posted outside. Can't say much about the food, just had the ahi tuna which was good but the cocktails were on point and the whiskey was delicious and not overpriced for such a tourist destination. I thought maybe 4 stars would be fair but for service, hospitality and coziness of this place, gives it a Lake George 5 stars.

The owner was very personable and talked about what makes their products different and of high quality. I had a great time talking to him. I recommend their gin and the vodka. Very smooth and clean tasting. My wife liked the "tequila." Technically it is not tequila because it was not 100% agave based. Instead they incorporated maple syrup into the liquor as well. How very Vermont!

We sat at the bar and relaxed - it was pretty quiet and we had the place mostly to ourselves for most of our visit. I ordered the raspberry shrub highball, Nate got the corn 'n oil, and my friend got the maple bourbon sour. It was fun watching the bartender mixing up our drinks, and she answered any questions we had. Very chill spot, and the drinks were tasty. I loved the super refreshing highball. They do serve snack boards and flights as well as their cocktails. I'm glad we stopped in and would come back again in the future!

Try a flight and sample a few of these. It's 4 of the liquors. Pay $5 to get a flight, and bottles can be $15 or more. Among the choices is the Blueberry Liqueur. Tastes a lot like pancake syrup. Among the more traditional ones, the Maple Whiskey is the best. This is a good use of local products and stuff. For sure go here if wanting to get some of the locally made liquors. It's just the liquors, so no food or anything like that. The flights are the best option if wanting to try a few things.

After looking at the very attractive displays showcasing each product made at the Distillery, my daughter and I opted to share a tasting. We chose the Moroccan Rose and Grapefruit Flavored Vodka to start and I loved the distinct fruity taste without the sugary sweetness. Next was the Maple Gin, which was lovely as well. Our server told us she likes to mix it with muddled blueberries and ginger beer for a refreshing summertime mule, and I agree that does sound delicious. Our third taste was the Bourbon Maple Cream Liquor, which was so delicious, and we finished the tasting with the Maple Cram Liquor, which was smooth, sweet, and went down very easily. We were impressed with the cleanliness of the store - everything was sparkly clean and shining. The layout of the displays was so attractive. We will definitely stop there again on our next trip to VT.

The tasting room is small with a single counter for tasting and a wall of bottles for purchase but it's well worth the wait if needed. You can even sample the syrups while you wait for free! Our hostess was very informative about all of the spirits and very appreciative of each of her customers. She talked a bit fast but that's understandable in the environment, it's busy!! We each did a tasting, the special tasting and the regular, so we got to try almost everything! Our cabinet and fridge got a few new additions with the canned vodka sodas and a single barrel. I highly recommend a stop and a tasting of the Hopped Gin, whether you're a gin drinker or not!! We visited in August 2024.
