Deacon Giles Distillery

This craft distillery is hidden off of Canal Street, but once you find the location, it is a nice place. The front room is set up as a tasting area with a bar. One of the owners was there and taught us about craft distilling of gin and rum. We were able to have small tastes of both the gin and rum and both were SO DELICIOUS. We had the opportunity to tour the tank area and really understand the process of creating both gin and rum. We purchased a bottle of each, and the gin works out really well with muddled mint as a mojito. The rum works well with coke or any juice. The flavor of these spirits are so much better than your brand name options at the liquor store. I highly recommend trying Deacon Giles liquors!
