As the world of specialty spirits and craft beers have grown, tasting rooms for these small batch and sometimes experimental adult beverages have sprung up in some fairly unlikely locales. Once such place is the Las Vegas Distillery located just outside of Sin City, in the community of Henderson. Recently, I popped on over to check out the \u201cdigs\u201d and take in the \u201cALL IN!\u201d TOUR & TASTING. This 75 minute tour gives you a great opportunity to experience all that the distillery has to offer. You will learn about the story of Nevada\u2019s first distillery and see how they make their spirits, plus you can taste the libations made on property. The \u201cALL IN!\u201d tour and tasting will run you $20<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Recently I had the opportunity to take the tour and sample some of the \u201cgoods\u201d\u2026and good they were. Here are my findings\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gin<\/strong> \u2013 Peppermint is the prominent of all aromas but a multitude of others flood the nostrils. Absent (thankfully) for the most part, is the juniper piney essence. Very interesting and quite pleasant. This would fall under that category of having it on hand to impressive the guests with your knowledge of unique spirits<\/p>\n\n\n\n Moonshine<\/strong> \u2013 This is the 4 Grain before the barrel treatment. A sweet on the nose spirit with an almost silver tequila aroma. Rolls over the tongue with a kick. Finish is almost minty. Much more refined than many oof the moonshines I\u2019ve tasted<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4 Grain<\/strong> \u2013 The product after 5 or so years in the barrel. Compared to the moonshine the oak is very heavy on the nose. A smooth, tasty whiskey that melts in the tongue and lingers as it fades on the finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
