Loonman Vodka
Loonman Vodka is a small batch organic 50/50 wheat and barley-based vodka. Triple distilled in our 10-plate copper still before being filtered through coconut and house-made birch charcoal.

Loonman Rum
Loonman Rum is a white rum agricole, with a 90% Brazilian sugar cane and 10% blackstrap molasses mash bill. Apple cider yeast adds a tropical complexity.

Loonman Aquavit
Loonman Aquavit is a wheat and barley-based dill & caraway aquavit. The botanicals are infused through maceration prior to distillation as well as vapor infused. Triple distilled in our 10-plate copper still. The Taste: Spicy caraway and herbaceous dill radiate from the nose, followed by bright citrus and sweet, subtle fennel. Characteristically earthy cumin, floral coriander, and bright lemon peel are highlighted with touches of star anise and orange, resulting in an elegant, silky mouthfeel with a medium finish thatʼs fresh and invigorating.

This gin is intended to be pondered over, whether at the lake with the sun on your face or in the corner of a dimly lit speakeasy. The Taste: Ten botanicals evoke the rich refinement of the prohibition era a full bouquet of delicate spring woodland flowers, growing out of dewy undertones of juniper and citrus.

It won a silver medal in the Washington Cup American Spirits competition, and bronze at the 2019 ACSA Spirits Competition in the "Light Whiskey" category. Through closed fermentation, extended resting on white oak staves and filtration through house made birch charcoal, it produces a very unique, soft and enjoyable whiskey flavor. Itʼs similar to Irish and Scottish style whiskies, while far from traditional, corn white whiskies. The Taste: From the judges at the Washington Cup Spirits Competition "… a pretty pear and grain note, lemon and citrus mouth, gentle if not neutral end, good balance, pleasant, cleansing finish with nice acids" .

My bachelorette group was really looking forward to using the outdoor tent, we confirmed the reservation a total of 3 times including once the day of. When we arrived we were told the outdoor tents were not open, this was really a disappointment. However, the drinks were phenomenal, the service was fantastic, and we still had a lovely evening.

The website for Loon Liquors did not indicate holiday hours and Open Table was offering reservations for 11/25. BUT when we arrived for our reservations.... the door was locked. Another patron arrived while we were there and tried to get in. We visited Northfield from Minneapolis and Loon Liquors was one of the main experiences we were looking forward to.
Loon Liquors DistilleryResponded on November 29, 2022Yikes!! We are soo incredibly sorry Amelia! We thought we turned off reservations for that day, but obviously we did not see it through. Please send us an email, and we can get you a free bottle on the house during your next visit. Again, our deepest apologies!! (thankyou at loonliquors dotcom) - Mark

Confusing place to enter (not downtown but in the middle of industrial park), but it was a surprisingly an appropriately cozy set up. Cocktails are priced right for the ingredients involved (NA soda avbl too). Wasn’t sure if food would be avbl but we ordered a lovely locally-sourced cheese and cracker plate (also priced right, very tasty) which lasted the whole hour. Outdoor tent had a nice set up with charming decor, though the wood smell and occasional smoke puff was a minor turn off, plus my toes got really cold (though blankets were provided), and we could overhear the next tent. We all agreed we definitely would recommend this for an hour for 2-4 people. Very cute and cozy, nice ambiance in the tent and in the distillery. Excellent, friendly staff, too! Good time!

Loon Liquors is not a restaurant, although they do have a few snacks available. Their drinks are the reason to go, and they are topnotch! They have interesting, carefully crafted cocktails in an outdoor environment that is cozy and relaxing. The staff are knowledgeable and attentive. If you prefer to stay home, just order a cocktail kit through curbside pick up and make them in your own kitchen. Highly recommended!
