| - A true gem in the dessert. Located in a small business park, from the outside you'd never know the inside holds the only artisan liqour distillery in Vegas. I attended the first official group tour of the distillery, as they just recently got government approval to give tastings on site as well as sell their product.
I encourage you to take a tour to hear the amazing story of how the Racz family overcame the odds and started the first and only liquor distillery in the drinking capital of the world. As you can imagine the large liquor businesses, do not want local competition. Although founded in 2008, they first were not able to sell their product. But through friendships, networking and passion, George Racz and his wife have been able to pass legislation in Nevada that will open the doors for others to do the same. The owner George Racz and his family moved here from Transylvania and he'll joke that the reason they're not open in the evening because they are out sucking blood.
During your free tour you are shown around by George himself. He will tell you his story as well as how all of the liquor is made. Buying their grains locally from Winnamucca Farms, they truly believe in Buying Locally, Drinking Locally.They make their spirits in small batches and bottle them by hand! You are able to taste any or all of their homemade products: from Whiskey, to Bourbon, to Vodka, to Moonshine, to Rum, to their own concoction - Rumskey (Rum and Whiskey mix). My all time favorite was Grandma's Apple Pie Moonshine - which isn't even available for purchase yet, as they'd been waiting on labeling approval. We were told 3 weeks and we should be able to pick up a bottle or 4 (yes it was that good!) They are also working on a recipe for Grandpa's Smoked Moonshine, I can't wait for that one too!
You can now purchase bottles of your favorites in various sizes while on your tour, and they even have discounted prices for bottle refills - amazing concept! If you want a T-shirt, they have them there too, you'll love their logo. I love supporting local businesses, I truly hope they thrive here.
Beginning October 5th they will be hosting classes on site: everything from making and barreling your own whiskey, to mixology lessons. I will definitely be signing up! Come out and visit (check out their website for tour dates and times), you won't be disappointed!
