The host was nice and friendly but it was almost like she was reading off a script. The actual tasting was generous and interesting but I would suggest the tour work on its presentation and “pazaz”
Great hospitality. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. The tour was fun on many levels. The spirits and whiskey are amazing 🤩 we brought home several bottles.
We had a small group. Just our party of four for the timeslot that we signed up.Not only do we have drinks here, but we also did a tour/tasting for vodka and whiskey.
Patrick was our tour guide/instructor, And he was absolutely amazing with giving the history of this business and how they make their vodka/whiskey. After the tour we ordered some additional cocktails, and listened to the live musician they had. The Hannah Colada (Rum, Coconut, Lime &
Pineapple) was yummy
Fun atmosphere, great explanation of the distill process. Good bang for my money. Would recommend it.
Paul was an excellent tour guide and very knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend visiting this distillery.
Great tour, great guide, small group with lots of tasting options. No high pressure sales, but we definitely bought some stuff!
It was very educational and eye opening on how the process changes the taste so much. I didn’t realize I could actually like a vodka enough to purchase it!
The host was very friendly and awesome. It was a neat place to tour. My whole family had a great time and experience.
Great tour. Great experience. Tasting was amazing. ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
It was fine for the price, it is a cool atmosphere, informative and nice variety of liquor as well as tasty. We had one tour guide/pourer for 20-25 people and he seemed overwhelmed. Another pourer would have made experience more enjoyable. He would pour those closest to him first and the group on each end would have to wait even though others had asked for a sample first of a particular offering. This occurred throughout the tasting. Another pourer and better organization would be helpful.
Great tour, lots of samples! You get a bit of history of the distillery and learn a bit about distilling in general. Definitely worth the price
So fun… great staff and tasty liquor. The location is very easy to find right in the heart of downtown too! Do it!
My tour guide, John was very knowledgeable about the different types of spirits they sold and the production process. He had patience throughout the tour and allowed us to taste as much as we wanted. He was also fine with us not tasting. Felt comfortable and not pressured. I tasted moonshine for the first time and it wasn’t terrible. I won’t try it again however😅.
You should definitely try their platinum vodka. It takes quality and isn’t harsh in your throat. Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Nashville.
Fun experience and something different to do just a little off broadway
Recommend if you are looking for a new experience
Amazing from both an education perspective as you learn about both history and chemistry. Samples are generous and you get a good taste of their different offerings.
Great experience very easy for a larger group. The history itself of the distillery was so interesting and we enjoyed that they had many different products to taste.
Jack, our tour guide, was awesome! He was both personable and knowledgeable which made the experience even more memorable.
This was fun. Drinks were half off as long as you are doing this tour. The shots you get to try are amazing
1- Not really a “tour”. The whole distillery is in one room, and it’s not even a large room.. (having done the tours in St. Augustine my expectations were much higher)
2- Parking is across the street for $32. (Unless you leave enough time for a long walk and park elsewhere)
3- Sample sizes were roughly a tablespoon. I’m not exaggerating in the slightest. It was just enough to get your tongue wet so you could taste it. Them calling it a “flight” is severely false advertising.
4- We got to taste one vodka, one rum, and 3 whiskeys. Totaling at most 5 tbsp. (Granted- The bartender did pour heavier for some people than others; he served slightly heavier pours to large men)
5- Entire “tour” was over in 37 minutes, during which he explained the distilling process for whiskey. It could’ve been an email. I’m shocked people gave it five stars. Maybe for $5 a person it’s worth 5 stars, but not $25.
It was a great touring and tasting. Learned a lot and tried out a dozen different bourbons and whiskeys. It was a great package and we had a wonderful time. Definitely recommend
It was an amazing experience. Tour guide was knowledgeable.Very informative and the tasting is a plus
Very good experience! Patrick was very knowledgeable and we definitely learned a lot while taking shots lol
You will learn a lot about the differences in whiskey, bourbon - basically every spirit! Do it! If you drink distilled spirits-we’ll worth it!
Paul was amazing. Took his time to explain everything throughout the tour. Highly recommend . Try this tour you will not be
Great. I learned a lot. Tasted as much as we wanted. Great advisor. Would come back again if in Nashville.
Very informative and generous with the tastings! I would highly recommend if you are a fan of spirits!
Very interesting presentation. Person speaking was very sharp. Samples a variety of spirits produced locally.
We really enjoyed learning the history and the process of making whiskey . The tasting was wonderful too. The staff are great and tell the story very well.
Very informative and got to try lots of their delicious liquors.
Guides were extremely knowledgeable.
This was such a great time. Plan for more than an hour. The tour is a full 60 minutes but if you decide to bottle off of the wall of barrels, it will take longer.
Our tour guide was excellent. He knew his stuff. The liquor itself was fantastic quality. I’m a whiskey drinker and usually don’t drink vodka. Their vodka was phenomenal
