Excellent

Excellent place to drop in and do a flight of spirits…Bartender was very nice and seemed to know her stuff.

We’ll Be Back

The whiskeys they make were excellent. We ordered several things on the food menu and everything was delicious. These people obviously care about what they’re putting out.”

Welcoming

Welcoming and [they] do a great job of explaining their rye whiskey. They have a tour and tasting and you make your own Old Fashioned. Definitely recommend stopping by!”
