This is a very nice venue and these guys take their whisky seriously. I stopped in for a tasting two weeks ago. Great bartenders providing friendly, prompt service. A good crowd enjoying themselves. I tasted their single malt whiskies, and that's the only reason I gave them a lowly 3 stars. The whisky is not done well. The ABV is excessive and the flavor is too harsh for a single malt. Even when I added a little water, the flavor was remnant of cough syrup. I'll give them a few years to figure it out. Regardless, I'll be back to taste their bourbon-style corn whisky.
