  • We had a blast there. Jennifer was an amazing hostess. We tried their Bourbon Whiskey, Rye Whiskey, Limoncello and Snow Cream. We left with a bottle of their Bloody Mary (premixed), two Bourbon Whiskey, Limoncello and Snow Cream. All were very good. I'm sure we'll be back for more, especially the Snow Cream.
  • Got ourselves a souvenir of pre-mixed sazarac. Loved the amazing ‘smooth’ rye select and the Bourbon select and learned so much about the drink from super knowledgeable and passionate owner! He surely knows his alcohol! Casual shop/bar for a variety of tasting flights or cocktails. Would definitely return!
