My husband and I enjoyed our first visit to the Great Lake Distillery for pre dinner cocktails and we were not disappointed. My new favorite drink is the Killer Bee made with a combo of citrus honey vodka, real honey and pepper vodka. It goes down very smooth and leaves a slight sting on the back of the throat. One...

Stopped into Great Lakes Distillery for a tasting flight. We were a few hours late for the full tour, but we knew that when we showed up. The bartender was very friendly and knowledgable of the samples he was serving. The distillery has a mature attitude on alcohol, so no cupcake vodka. We bought a bottle of absinthe; had never...

The spirits at this distillery are really great. We always leave with a bottle of something. I am, however, not yet thrilled with the cocktails I have tried in the bar. I will keep trying to find one I like though! Nice relaxed atmosphere.

This is a gem, not to be missed. Hit this place while on the brewery tours as a change of pace. Great products that you thought you would never try or like.

In the lower level of the building, the tour consists of about 45 minutes of explanation behind the history and making of distilled spirits. Their machinery and storage of their product are pretty impressive. Afterwards is the $5 tasting of their products.... More

This was a fun & informational (not too long about 20-25 min) tour with more great info & drinks in the Tasting room afterwards. Tour is free and for only $5 yiou can taste the 6 spirits they make. Be sure to try a drink ... or two at the bar. If you have one before the tour, you can... More

Have been there twice. Once for the tour and once to visit the new tasting room. The tour is free and the tasting after the tour is $5. Got there just before 3pm on a Saturday afternoon and it was packed! The tour guide was really knowledgeable. He gave us a great understanding of how to make spirits and was... More

The tour was very educational. I have a good understanding of the basic distilling process now. I learned how to tell if retailers are misleading me or not. And, I got to sample some great vodka, gin, and whiskey. Kids won't like it, but adults will.

This tour does not involve a great deal of walking as the distillery is small. The tour is very interesting and gives tour goers great insight into what makes different spirits what they are. The distillery makes vodka, gin, rum, whiskey, and two different varietals of ABSINTHE, and you get to taste them all after the tour. The Absinthe obviously... More
