In Distill of the Night
Napa Valley's first distillery (2017) since Prohibition, that features a bevy of signature spirits that take from a Ginn and Brandy to Whisky and Bourbon.
I was gifted a surprise visit by my love on a recent trip to Napa. Which is a really big give, considering she's not into spirits like I am.
The Good:
*Our Spirit guide, Theodore, was very knowledgeable, friendly, and generous with the tasting pours.
*You might get lucky and visit when they're bottling their wares, and that's quite the adventure watching.
*Get a Groupon to cut the tasting price in half from $90/2 to $45/2 and a $10 credit towards items purchased from the store on your visit.
*I enjoyed all the spirits we sampled, but I surprisingly really enjoyed their ginn, which has a great juniper berry flavor.
*Great décor, vibe, and atmosphere in their tasting room/speakeasy.
The Meh:
*Some of the prices are a little high for what you get, but it's not surprising given the locale.
*All their spirits are bottles at 80 proof. I really don't care that much--altho I'd love to try some cask-strength stuff--but I know some people do.
The Ugly:
*Not surprisingly, the neighborhood they're located in is a lil' sus...
TLDR: Great place to visit when touring Napa and are tired of looking at and tasting fermented grapes, and you're finally ready for some real alcohol. :-P
