I really enjoyed this tour. I will start by saying, if you like bourbon, and if you don't like a tour with a lot of walking or standing around, then this tour is for you. The tour takes place in one room, you essentially just keep turning around as your guide moves from step to step.
I really appreciate small local quality products. Right now the owner (who gave us our tour) is Arizona Distilling's only full time employee. The owner is a Tempe native and works Arizona history in to his product ideas and product names. The Four Peaks Brewery guys helped him get started. Those are some good friends to have.
I learned a lot about Arizona history, and distilling on this tour. We got to sample the moonshine, bourbon, and gin. Detailed explanations were given with each sample. Arizona Distilling's gin has won a major award, beating out Bombay Sapphire, and Hendrick's Gin. If you would like to try the specialty whiskeys you can buy shots for $5 each.
This is a great tour, but go take it now because the business will be moving to a new undetermined location. We learned Arizona Distilling's next project will be a restaurant project. I am looking forward to learning what is in store for this new small business.
