Whistling Andy made for a fun stop on our way from Missoula to Glacier. The tasting room is pretty large, and there's a good amount of seating. I believe they offer flights of their various spirits, but we opted for cocktails instead. They were solid, and featured some neat, off-beat ingredients. read more

Oh, heck YEAH! We bumbled onto Whistling Andy in January of this year. It was one of the very few places open on a Sunday afternoon in the Flathead, and it was c-c-c-c-old out. I think it was Brian who helped us sample the various wares. Whistling Andy's Hibiscus Coconut rum, an international award winner, is a local favorite and getting to taste some "moonshine" (unaged whiskey) was a real treat. They also have several varieties of gin. We left slightly warmer, clutching several bottles that we "exported" to Oregon. Now that we live in the Flathead, we can stop in for a drink or some live music of a Wednesday night, and it's close to a great state park and all the fun that Bigfork has to offer. Try some Hibiscus Coconut rum with rhubarb Dry soda like the Raven serves it...a can't-go-wrong summer drink! read more

We recently spent a long weekend getaway in Montana and took one day to drive around Flathead Lake. We had stumbled upon Whistling Andy's a couple of years ago when I participated in the Polar Bear Plunge down the road and thought it would be a good place to warm up. I think that was the weekend of their grand opening or something, but we didn't remember being as impressed as we were on this recent trip. We decided to share two tastings of 4 liquors each so we could try all 8. We're not big gin drinkers, but my husband is a rum fanatic and we both really enjoy whiskey. We were pleasantly surprised by the pink peppercorn and pear gin. Good stuff, right there. In fact, so good, we decided to buy a couple of bottles. We also enjoyed the moonshine and whiskey. The hibiscus-coconut rum was smooth and we immediately started talking about all the tropical drinks we couldn't wait to make so we grabbed a bottle of that too. I think the biggest surprise for both of us was the Hopshnop! Distilled hops. Basically, they get beer from some Montana brewery and distill it. My husband, who doesn't like beer at all, said it was the best way to drink beer and liked it enough to add a bottle of that to our purchase. The owners are friendly and knowledgeable and the booze is good. We definitely plan to add Whistling Andy's as a regular stop on our trips to the Flathead and Glacier. Cheers! read more

Long been a Gin drinker, stopped in on a road trip two weeks ago and tried the Gin. It is some of the best Gin I have had. Along with great customer service! Brought a bottle home to enjoy, just wish I lived closer. Keep up the great work. read more

Such a cool experience! I became a fan of Whistling Andy's spirits because some of my favorite bars in Las Vegas carry them, so visiting the distillery was a must. Once here I received a warm welcome from everyone inside, from the staff to other visitors. It's very family oriented here and they make you feel like you're part of the family as well. The front area has spirits, cool swag, and drinks or flights for sale. The spirits flight tasting is ridiculously cheap, definitely not charging Las Vegas prices. You can appreciate the woodwork in the room, bar and the piano with history dating back to the 19th century. In the back area where the juice is made you'll here the story of all the blood, sweat and tears that the staff has put in to make this distillery possible. Not only are the spirits handcrafted, so is the room. From building repairs to installation of their stills and mash tuns. Whistling Andy is hands on! They let me taste some spirits right out of the barrel which was super cool and delicious. You can taste the locally sourced ingredients. After much trial and error they have produced some good juices. Thank you Lisa, Brian and the rest of the staff for an unforgettable experience! read more

See all

We were visiting the parent's vacation home and we found this place by accident on a walk at the end of the street where they live. It is in a building just behind the car wash so it doesn't jump out at you. What a find! They have great tastings and it is worth a stop! read more

Visited today with the family who found the tour really informative, having never toured a distillery before. Used a Groupon which was a great deal with a tour and tasting and a free whiskey glass. Had no idea this business was there and never would have stopped without the Groupon. Now will go back again for a drink in the future. Played a little darts too which was fun. read more

We like to stop at Whistling Andy Distillery just to relax with a cocktail in a quiet atmosphere. My favorite liquors are Hibiscus Coconut Rum, Cucumber Gin, Cherry Cello and the IPA beer distilled in an oak cask, I think they call it Hops Schnapps. However, my husband likes their Bourbon and Whiskey. We enjoy the tour so much we have gone three times. It is very informative and the distillers are very informative and friendly. They have changed things, so it is interesting to see what is new. Visiting Whistling Andy is well worth your time. read more
