Distillery 98

Really loved our visit to Distillery 98 in Santa Rosa Beach! You can come and grab cocktails in the bar and learn made with their small batch Half Shell Vodka, get a distillery tour, and learn more about their sustainability initiatives, including their beach safe cardboard vodka bottles. The vodka is filtered through 18 layers of reclaimed oysters, and exceptionally smooth. I very much enjoyed the cocktails and their infused vodkas (made in house) are delicious as well!

Loved this place. Space is awesome and the bartender there was freaking awesome. Variety of cocktails from the spirits they make that were very interesting and tasty.

Distillery 98 in Santa Rosa Beach, FL, home of Half Shell Vodka, a corn-based (gluten-free) vodka filtered through crushed oyster shells. The oyster shells, made of calcium carbonate, are great natural filters. They distill the spirit in a pot still, a column, and a filter system. Their lower-end product is smooth, but their “Dune” is even nicer, and it was a whole $21 bottle with the case discount. The “Half Shell” vodka (available at Total Wine) comes in an innovative paper bottle lined with a wine bag, so you can bring it to the beach/pool or in your cooler and not worry about breaking it if it gets dropped. They also produce corn liquor (moonshine), whiskey, and a botanical gin.

Built to entertain. But didn't hit the spot for me. This is a personal review as they allways are. Been here a few times but it hasn't really left it's mark... Out side the air not working :/ I'll say the dual level is nice and quant atmosphere enjoyable. I haven't went outside of events. I couldn't see myself just going on a random weekday. I enjoyed the drinks I had but price is on the high side. The service was ok and/or slow. Atmosphere was great... if the air is working. The liquor on its own is OK. I'm sure I'll be back for another local event to see how things are going in there near future.

What a great spot! Sugar, our bartender, was knowledgeable, super friendly and makes fantastic, creative cocktails! His special Nutella caramel espresso martini was amazing! Really cool ambiance inside too. Highly recommend a visit!

Place was nice. Drinks were avg. Gentlemen bartender was good. If it weren't for the poetry club on a Wednesday evening I might have enjoyed myself. I've never seen more pretentious people going out of their way to make an out of towner feel out of place. From sitting at the large table my family already sat at to telling my family there is plenty of room to sit upstairs, it was clear we were not one of the local "poets" and didn't feel welcomed. It's a shame we drove 30 mins to check it out. We have been making 30a our destination the last few years and will never be back. Leaving 2 stars because I think the place could have been decent if it weren't for those who believe they are above others and apparently have a large influence on how the place operates.

Really fun and cute place where they are making a very special vodka, nice ambience, and really neat tour of the distillery process

This place was amazing! Our bartender, Sugar, was so knowledgeable and friendly. He made the best recommendations for drinks. Highly recommend you come here during your trip!! Get the smoked old fashioned!
