Fantastic distillery, great spirits and service, amazing cocktail flights! Rotating cocktail menu monthly - definitely worth a monthly visit. Excellent White Russian made with their coffee liqueur! Loved the Painkiller and Ghost Crush as well.

Fun little spot to spend an hour or so tasting some of their unique cocktails. Very cheap, but I can see it getting crowded with not that many seats.

Cute spot! Sarah took great care of us. Left with a bottle of the coffee vodka. I love how they infused Virginia's culture into the designes. Limited seating, clean bathrooms, and unique experience.

This distillery is an absolute gem! Having been around for almost 20 years, it’s a beloved local spot with a welcoming and cozy atmosphere that instantly makes you feel at home. What really impressed me is how accessible everything is—from the distilling process done on-site to the creative offerings. We ordered some flights, and for just $8, we got four Halloween-inspired tasters, which were both fun and delicious. The creativity and quality in each taster stood out. Our bartender was fantastic—super attentive and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a unique, local experience!

We stopped in on a rainy day during our day date adventure. Very welcoming and relaxing vibe. We checked the menu and decided on bloody mary’s with the ghost pepper vodka. The old bay around the rim made the drink hit with the right level of smooth and spicy. For our second round we went with the stoners fresh herb vodka and autumn heat mixed cocktail. Both were well made and delicious. Service was ok only because a large group showed up. The staff were incredibly friendly so it all worked out fine. We walked away with a bottle of the ghost pepper vodka and cool swag.
