| - Where to start.. We LOVE this place. We showed up on a Saturday right as they opened at 2, and were immediately greeted by Jeff and Chase (two of the owners) as well as Cooper (best described as the customer experience assistant) who chatted with us for a few minutes until another couple showed up, and then we started on a tour of the distillery. We have been on several tours of local distilleries, but this one stood out because of the passion and excitement the owners have for the craft of spirit making.
They were extremely knowledgeable ad excited to answer any questions we had while walking through the operation. Luckily for us they were running a batch of bourbon through the still when we were there and we were able to see the machinery working.
Jeff had batch number 26 of gin that he was trying to perfect with different blends of botanicals. We were able to observe, and discuss some of his previous batches before moving on to the tasting room.
Chase was working the tasting room, we were able to sample their Vodka, Gin, Botanical Gin, Rum, Rye Beer, White Whiskey, and Whiskey. They currently only have their vodka available for sale to take home (due to the labeling process taking ages for approval) however they have a few signature cocktails that they craft, or you can order the spirits on the rocks to enjoy there. We ordered an old fashioned and a mule. They were both delicious, and we had fun watching Jeff make them. (He isn't the usual bartender, but was a great sport when we ordered the drinks.)
We ended up being there for around 3 hours, with a several other people coming and going during that time. Now we are having withdrawals anxiously waiting for it to be Friday so we can go back. (They are only open to the public on Friday and Saturday afternoon/evenings.)
We definitely have a lot of respect for them, more so because they do all the work themselves, all the way from digging trenches for the waterlines, welding the copper stills and counters; to grinding the grain and bottling. Their graphic designer does amazing work as well (the bottle labels are stunning!) The three owners all have full time jobs, and it is amazing to see how much work they have put into their dream of having a distillery while keeping up with the nine-to-five grind.
There are a lot of reasons we recommend this place, the drinks, the atmosphere, it being a local start-up company. Our favorite thing however is seeing their love-life attitudes and passion for adventure and challenges, it really shows in their product and the experience they give.
Adventurous Stills is absolutely worth visiting!
