Blackfish Spirits Distillery

Small little distillery hidden away in north auburn. It down by emerald down off of 37^th street. The whole sales room is probably 10×15, but you can see the distillery behind the sales room.
The customer service here is outstanding. You are greeted as soon as you walk thru the door and they take the time to explain their product to you.
The vodka here is pretty amazing. There is less of the burning after you drink it compare to most available vodka.

Oh my.. . this hooch is over the top! My favorite teeters between the Vodka and the Gin. No maybe it is between the Apple Brandy, the Vodka and the Gin. But then, I have to include the rhubarb liquor.
Visit the distillery. It, in itself, is a treat. You’ll see the most beautiful copper stills, enjoy incredible aromas, and meet energetic and creative distillers. I’m hooked!

Want to taste some truly great quality craft spirits and see how they are made? This is the place.
Gifford’s Gin — gin for people who don’t like gin! Well, the rest of us like it too, but this one is unique as it doesn’t have a lot of the overwhelming juniper that most gin haters dislike. Instead you’ll find subtle notes of unusual botanicals and a hint of cardamom and cumin. Really a great choice.
Blackfish Vodka — a pure, smooth vodka that you can actually sip straight. None of that afterburner mouth feel here.
Rye Whiskey — a great start to the whiskey production, barrel-​aged, but not too sweet
Cherry Brandy — made from local fruit you can actually taste the cherry rather than just getting a vague impression of it in the aftertaste. Great quality and aroma.
Apple and Pear Brandy — not ready for production when we stopped in, but they had 8,000 gallons of cider from freshly pressed apples waiting to go into the still in the next few days with the pear coming in shortly after.
Small, family run distillery where they are as excited to share the process and ingredients with you as they are to have you try the end result. They will take you in the back to the production floor and explain as much or as little as you like about what they do. They use locally sourced grain, fruit, and botanicals and always have a new experiment going in addition to their flagship products. Great place, great people, great spirits!

We stopped in and enjoyed a tasting and bought some whiskey. We had a very interesting tour and met the friendly family running the business. Good whiskey and they have vodka and gin too!
