Came here after Windmill closed for the day. The man who was working in the distillery was really friendly, I think he was probably the distiller. He walked us through how their distillery works and how the grains are locally sourced. They have quite a few options and some very unique options like Garlic Vodka and Ginger Vodka. The different gins were great to taste side by side as well as tasting the whiskey side by side. Their canned vodka coolers are delicious, we couldn't leave without buying some. We walked away really enjoying the experience and the craft alcohols. Had to get a few bottles to take home, and the mini bottles are a great option with the 4 pack for $40. I had to get the garlic vodka, it is just so unique and he suggested using it in a Caesar or Bloody Mary, so we will try that.

Big thanks to Chad, who shared a can with me as a courtoisie. I genuinely loved it.\n\nCan’t wait to stop by the brewery soon — I cross the nearby border regularly, and picking up a few cans for friends and family will absolutely become part of the routine. Great drink, great people. Highly recommend giving Kingslock a try if you haven’t already!",
