Our family had a really nice visit here. Always nice to find distilleries, breweries, etc that are family friendly without being overrun by raucous kids, if you know what I mean.
I had a flight of their whiskeys plus aged rum, followed by a special Manhattan that was recommended as I was struggling to pick a cocktail. The Manhattan, made with Aztec chocolate bitters, was fantastic - totally hit the spot. (If you don't have Aztec chocolate bitters in your home bar, I highly recommend you remedy this situation immediately.)
Kids got pizza, which was excellent, and I got a French-dip type Reuben, which was excellent. Fries were perfect. I forget what my wife got, but she was also happy with her meal.
Great interior and great patios, including cornhole and ladder ball. Cool open-air detached building with additional seating, which we took advantage of.
Only request, and I almost took it to 4 stars because of this: please add some higher proof stuff for the whiskey connoisseurs like myself. Everything is 80 proof, and that's just so watered down that it's hard to appreciate your product. I get that this is a commercial decision, made to appeal to more people who want light easy-drinking whiskey, but couldn't you add one or two higher-proof offerings? 90 proof is still pretty easy and 100 proof would be awesome. They could even be single barrel offerings, not requiring a bunch of barrels to release. As a whiskey head, I felt flirted with by flavors that could have had so much more. The malt, for instance - definitely some interesting character there, but just a hint. So light, so hard to really get to know your distillate. Surely I'm not the only customer who feels this way...
Still a fun visit with solid food and great staff, but next time I'd skip straight to the cocktail as the whiskey was too light for me.
