Of course, the spirits have to be the best part of visiting a distillery. Because of the Irish influence on Butte, this place has a great selection of bourbon, rye, Irish whiskey, and single-malt whiskey. There's also grain-based vodka and gin. You ask for a tasting, and can have eight, or four and a serious drink as part of the deal. On a gray afternoon, we did the four each and ended with a traditional Martini and a Moscow mule. We were not disappointed. Midafternoon, we had the place to ourselves. Go early and stay late!

A few dozen feet up the hill from the Lolo Creek Steakhouse, is this distillery and tasting room. Absolutely spectacular views, a great outdoor seating area to include fireplace, friendly and well-informed wait staff, and a great set of products and specialized cocktails. Definitely "plan our travels around visiting this place" when we are in the area next.

Not only is their offering mind-blowing, the atmosphere has charm. An all around delightful experience. Now, the choices are HARD since you’ll want to try nearly everything. One must pick strategically since by law they can only sell you 2 flights. I ended up buying: Bad Rock Rye Kirschwasser Daughter of the Sun Huckleberry Gin Huckleberry Liquor Little Cottonwood Bear Grass Those are my Montana souvenirs!! Note: MT law limits how many bottles they can sell per person per day. So you, too, may have to go a couple times or go to State Liquor Store.

Whether it's finding age old recipes or unique new blends derived from what's in season, there is always something exciting coming out of this distillery. Named after the father of head distiller Brian Anderson, Whistling Andy Distilling prides itself on the importance of family, personal and community relationships.

We stopped in while killing some time and felt like we were a local! The bartender was so engaging and entertaining that we quickly built a rapor with the other visitors in the bar and had such a fun time. I’m not a whiskey girl so the flight wasn’t my cup of tea but when the bartender started adding a little bit of their specialty lemonades to them I fell in love with the cucumber gin. Fun to stop in and have a drink when in Bigfork

Reviewed By Kris_K_D - Gig Harbor, United States
Beautiful ambiance with history, and elegant spirits and cocktails. I’m not normally a gin fan — I liken the taste to drinking cologne — but I thoroughly enjoyed their Whyte Laydie and bought a bottle to bring home. It may be the only gin I ever buy! Good thing they offer free tastes, or I would have never known...
