Tasty, Tasty, And Even More Tasty
I had a chance in January to visit this Distillery on several occasions. I will tell you why in a minute. This place is still very new. It opened the year I first delighted Juneau with my presence. Ok, maybe not but it was there the first time I had been to Juneau. Better ? My understanding it opened in 2018. It only makes Gin at this point but had a Whiskey in the makings that should be ready later this year. Now for the delicious scoop. It has several concoctions of drinks on their menu that showcases what their Gin can do in a cocktail. They have several to choose from but it is limited and by liquor laws of the state they can only use the liquor they make. That being said they have come up with libations which uses natural ingredients and as close to locally sourced as possible to their area. Ok, enough of that what I want to say is important and that is while tasting several samples of their drinks which were all quite excellent my favorite was the Gin and Tonic. Wow, you have to be kidding you say. Nuh uh. It is the BEST Gin and Tonic I have EVER had from coast to coast and I have been coast to coast. What makes this drink that impressive is their Gin is locally sourced and they make their own tonic. It only cost $5.00 and that is a huge plus. This is why I went as many times as I could. Their hours are Monday through Friday 3 pm til 8 pm and Saturday and Sunday 1 pm to 8 pm. Please go visit them if you are in Juneau, Alaska.

Of all the gin joints....
I always visit this distillery when I am in Juneau, Alaska. Why ? Because they have the best Gin and Tonics ever ! Besides distilling their own Gin with Alaskan grown ingredients they do the same for their tonic water. The people their are awesome. I want to give a shout out to Rachel who not only is knowledgeable about their product but very helpful . I had a chance to talk to her at length and learn about not only their products but also the city of Juneau. If Gin is your thing please go. You will not be disappointed.
