My Valentine's Day surprise was a hit: Liquor tasting and chocolate pairing at The Striped Pig Distillery. The event popped up in January and I booked immediately, wanting to have a pocket Valentine's Day surprise. We arrived at our appointed time of 2pm, last available, and the gravel parking lot had plenty of spaces for us. I bet at night it can get packed, they have a local-bar vibe. We went in and followed the signs to the back. There is table seating as well as bar seating, and a nice dark wood funky vibe. Classic rock was playing not too loudly, and it seemed like they were running a staff meeting in the back so we couldn't do a tour. No problem, maybe next time. Our bartender welcomed us and offered table or bar seating, and of course we chose bar. There were several beer taps in the wall, with interesting-sounding names and descriptions that will have to be further explored at a future visit. We were here first and foremost for the tasting and pairing. Our guy gave us the list of the pairings, which was opposite order from the order they were served which was opposite the direction they were intended to be consumed. I enjoyed the chaos and we started with the house gin, featuring lavender and doing an incredibly herbaceous dance with the floral white chocolate. Nice pairing. Hubby is not a gin drinker and found it very floral and astringent. I bought a bottle. The next was the house spiced rum with a pineapple chocolate that was far superior to any Captain or Admiral. Spicy and smooth, a lovely slow sipping rum, or mix it up in a tiki drink or daiquiri. We picked up a bottle. Next, the bourbon. Hubs was not thrilled with their bourbon. He found it had a very acetone hit and while it was not objectionable, it would not be his choice. He is a bourbon connoisseur. I am not. I don't care for bourbon, but this was far smoother, less woody than expected. The dark chocolate would match with anything, really. Last, the rye whiskey. If I like anything less than bourbon, it's rye. But this one was surpringly drinkable, and I could see myself drinking it again. Hubby again picked up that acetone note that put him off the bourbon too. I don't know enough to define it. But tastes vary. We had fun and he wants to do more like this, so that's a W for the event; thanks for making it a fun Valentine's Day surprise! They sold me two bottles and I really like that gin so that's their W. The rest is for consideration. Gotta give em the full 5 stars. Keep your nose to the grindstone, Piggies, you've got a good thing going!
My fiancé and I had a great experience here. Mike poured me a cotten candy sour which was the best beer I have ever had! The other drinks we tried were delicious as well. All the staff was so friendly and made our time there wonderful. My fiancé enjoyed his experience of getting to bottle his own bourbon. We will definitely be returning for their future events!
Wow, great people, great distilled spirits. I stopped recently and truly enjoyed my experience. Andrew did our tasting & tour and his enthusiasm and knowledge made it special. I also had the opportunity to meet Pixie, the owner, and what a great person she is. I’m really not a distilled spirit drinker but I ended up purchasing three bottles and I’m quite sure I’ll be purchasing more in the future. They also have an Open Mic Night which I was fortunate to get to experience. I strongly recommend that you give the a try.
What a fun place. Staff first off is amazing and very helpful. This is a large place with a lot to offer and their vodka is amazing. Try the neon pig with watermelon vodka. Not sweet and just refreshing. We didn’t try their bourbons or gin but they have a nice selection. Parking lot is gravel so wear comfortable shoes but all is inside. They even have cornhole and ping pong. Fun day
Absolutely fun and informative. The manager, Remy, gave us a tour. He took his time and it was amazing. They are growing and expanding to include beer. The tasting at the end was yummy. We went home with quite a few selections. Located in an industrial area, but once you walk inside it’s so relaxing and welcoming. Definitely worth trip not one to miss. Loved it!!!
