   In the cut location. Very knowledgeable staff, very good quality of whiskey and gin. I look at both the whiskey and gin in a different light. I learned a lot and the ambiance added an extra flare to things. Will definitely return.

   I had the most amazing time visiting KO Distilling. Everyone was SUPER polite and knowledgeable. If you have the pleasure of running into Greg then you are definitely in for a treat! He knows something about EVERYTHING and can provide you with so much information while making the perfect drink.. And breaking down your whiskey, bourbon, gin fact & flights😊. I HIGHLY recommend visiting

   Took hubby here for a Father's Day treat. He took the tour, did a tasting or 2 and enjoyed every moment. We had a late reservation so didn't get to try out the food truck but it didn't matter, we had snacks and drinks! The young lady that seated us and was awesome, I can't remember her name, sorry. Aimee was nice as was Sarah. Try them out if you haven't already.

    So KO doesn't serve food, except for food trucks on special occasions. You are more than welcome to bring, call in/order food in while you sip and enjoy the distillery. This is a great place to enjoy good friends and great sips. The drinks they mix at this place is amazing!

    Highly recommended. We did a tour of the distillery process. It was very interesting and very informative. You learn about what methods produce what flavors. Really demystifies the labels. I’m not a whiskey drinker, we did this for my guy. He loved it and I enjoyed, too. They have a nice selection to choose from for tastings and some fun extras in the gift shop. Great value and something different to do instead of always heading to a winery. Where they lost stars isn’t really a problem. They ask you to rate food, they don’t really have food. Just a few snack items. And you can’t help the noise, it’s a distillery.

    Greg R took my friends and I on a tour of the distillery. He was VERY knowledgeable and we learned a lot. Afterwards, he walked us through our whiskey and bourbon tastings and we were able to tie in some of the info we learned on the tour to the actual liquors. We also had a cocktail each and they were phenomenal. I highly recommend KO Distillery for all your whiskey tasting needs!

    This is a great local whiskey distillery for tours and tastings. Offering a variety of normal or cask-strength whiskies and several gins, you won't be disappointed if you stop in at KO Distilling! This location has a moderately sized indoor space that can accompany larger groups and offer several seating options while allowing customers to bring outside food to enjoy inside. I have only visited this distillery twice but have had the pleasure of interacting with Larry both times. I would like to give a complement to Larry for his attentiveness to every customer and his willingness to take questions and share his whiskey knowledge! Between the time of my first and second visit this distillery has released several new whiskeys which I was very pleased to buy couple bottles.

    Had an amazing experience with the lady who took us on the tour. Can remember her name but she had on glasses and worked in the front. Great conversationalist and even though the place was small her attention to detail was great. Alcohol was ok, but the same lady made it even better when she explained every drink and kept checking on us. The guys where really nice even when we got in there way during the tour. Only bad experience was at the end when everyone left the main floor and we sat there for 20 minutes waiting to check out. A few people passed us and didn’t even ask if we needed anything, when we were obviously confused. I then had to walk outside and ask someone is they worked there. And the response I got was “I’m the CEO”. I said great, can we get some help. Finally after tracking down help we were able to purchase a bottle of our favorite rye and everyone was nice. Only feedback I’d have is to value your guest a little more, especially because we were the only customers there.

I definitely recommend it for some pre-dinner drinks!!
