About one year ago, on a chilly rainy lousy day... We missed our turn and instead happened to stumble upon an interesting blue building with the word "Muckleyeye" written whimsically across the front with "Stillhouse" included. My interest was piqued.
Going in, we were warmly greeted with smiles and a staff eager to please. We tried a sampling of spirits, artisanally created on site. Bourbon, Rye, Vodka, American Gin, and East Coast Rum. Each sip was more impressive than the last. And to this day, the ONLY rum, gin, and vodka I not only can drink at room temperature straight, but enjoy to do so as well.
But it gets better. To display the depth and dynamic flavors of the spirits, the staff artfully created inspired and delicious cocktails. We were hooked.
We've been back countless times, with many friends in tow. Each time we are greeted just as warmly as the first. The cocktails change seasonally, and have become something we look forward to exploring regularly.
Rightfully so, Colt's Neck Stillhouse has become quite the popular spot. Their spirits are distributed and accessable from our local liquor stores, but we still go every opportunity we have.
The skill and personalities of the staff are second to none. The cocktails are always amazing. The atmosphere is inviting. You can't go wrong going here.
For the naysayers who've left negative feedback... It's important to know what CNS offers. They are NOT a "bar" in the traditional sense. They are not open until 2am with sports on every wall. They are a craft, small batch distillery creating amazing spirits, and showcasing their spirits through artfully inspired cocktails. They are brand ambassadors of the highest caliber. Down to earth, fun, adventurous, and knowledgeable of their products.
Myself, my family, and my friends are hooked, and we'll be patrons for MANY years to come.
