Small local distillery crafting vodka, gin, and whiskey. The staff/distiller was very engaging and informative. Choose a tasting flight from the vodka, gin or whiskey groups or a traditional tasting which offers a flight touching on each. Every flight concludes with the house made gin and tonic. One of the best gin and tonics I’ve ever tasted.

Stopped in to check out this place during our visit. Very clean and had a good vibe. Staff was great and we picked up their bbq sauce, Bloody Mary mix, apple pie moonshine, and a growler of the blonde ale which was delicious. Can’t wait to come back again and get to stay and enjoy a tour and many drinks! Highly recommend this place!

We saw the sign as we were headed down the interstate and went ahead and stopped. We are very happy we did! All of their products are made local, they even grown their own corn, and the information you received during the tasting was wonderful. They offer tours in addition to the tasting.

We visited on a Groupon and had a great time learning about how Vodka is made. We visited as a couple and were joined by a group of three, it was a fun experience with a very knowledgeable host. The facility is small so you don't have to look far to see each step of the process. The vodka options were great, everything from a smooth vodka to several flavored vodkas and then a fireball vodka. We would definitely recommend this to anyone.
