My husband and I drove past this and thought, hmm, maybe we should stop? We are glad we did! Because of Covid, things were a little different but the staff was so friendly and accommodating. You can do liquor tastings or flights if you take them outside on the deck, and the bourbon was wonderful (says my husband) - he even bought a bottle to take home. They also have a huge assortment of slushies that you can add your choice of liquor too, so good and refreshing on a hot day. Very affordable as well, nice deck to sit on and watch people in the town. You can bring your own food if you'd like. I would definitely stop here if you're in Alex Bay or nearby.

I have a camp in Clayton and have been visiting this distillery for the past 2 years. The quality of the product and their staff are EXCEPTIONAL. Great family story behind the making of this distillery. They are very community oriented and source locally. They have a small but excellent variety of liquors to choose from. All are made onsite and using local ingredients.. They are a farm to table operation with their restaurant also. Vodka is smooth, refreshing, a bit herbal... It can stand up to any of the high end vodkas and in my humble opinion, surpass them. The gin offerings are also of the highest quality.. They use herbs that they grow on their own farm to flavor... It is the best kind of original and intriguing taste I have ever had in a gin.. Great in G&T AND...it makes a fabulous Bloody Mary with a twist.. They also offer Whisky, Rye, a buttery Cream Liquor and Absinthe.. All of a delight.. What is an added bonus to the already finest quality product is the star quality staff.. Helpful, interested, friendly, offering some of the best customer service I have experienced in this area. Kudos to the manager Heidi!!! Spent an hour with her one afternoon during a freak ice storm... No better place to be stuck than in the tasting room with her at the helm!!! If you are in the area or looking for a great addition to your personal bar... St Lawrence Spirits will not disappoint!

Great place to stop for a tasting of various spirits! Great space inside with nice tasting bar, display cases, wine slushie machine, and various items for purchase. We stopped here for a late afternoon tasting and picked up a couple of slushies to drink sitting on our hotel balcony in Clayton overlooking the river. I definitely recommend it!

Loved our return visit. We stumbled upon the Cider Mill a few years ago and enjoyed it so much we took a special trip just to see it again. Cider, baked goods and fudge are delicious and fresh. A cider slushy is must try.

Found this tasting room while walking. Very helpful and informative salesperson. We came back with several samples of the whiskeys and gin. Vodka very smooth also.
