Cindy will treat you like family. Try the small batch rye and the elevacion reposado! Seriously, this place is a hidden gem and don't be fooled by the humble roadside appearance. This place is the real deal!

This is the best rye I’ve ever had. I would tell you how incredibly amazing it is but there aren’t words to describe it. You’ve gotta try it!

Excellent distillery with exceptional whiskies. We enjoyed a flight as we sat under the shade canopies and bought a bottle of their light bourbon and a bottle of rye. The “staff” - two gentlemen operating the bar - were friendly, knowledgeable, and courteous. We highly recommend this petite distillery when you’re near Luckenbach and Fredericksburg.

Great place to taste some good spirits. It is a bit hot if you go in the summer, but they have plenty of shade, and the bartenders are awesome. I really enjoyed their watermelon drink it was so good and refreshing. Worth the stop and a good break from all the wines in the area.

Awesome outdoor atmosphere with ample seating. Staff were pleasant and real. We got to keep the shot glasses from the flight! Cocktail was amazing, as well.

Good distillery. My husband is from Kentucky so has high expectations. He enjoyed their flight, and liked the rye so much, he bought a bottle. For those that don't drink whiskey, they do have cocktails available that are delicious.

I would’ve spent my entire trip here if I could’ve! The server was very helpful and nice. I got the peach bourbon slushie and it was DELICIOUS!!!! I could have had 10 more. My boyfriend got the old fashioned and it was also absolutely delicious. The view was beautiful and peaceful. There was various seating options with a great fire pit. We will definitely be making this a non-negotiable stop in our future visits!!
