Sid gave us an excellent tour of the distillery, and was funny too. Wear sturdy shoes, and if your bag is heavy Sid gives you a safe place to store it during the tour. Definitely try the apple pie/cider vodka sample at the end of the tour.
We decided to check out the still relatively new and first legal distillery in Nevada. What a fun little excursion. Jason was our guide in this compact but fascinating distillery which is now making a few kinds of "moonshine", rum, vodka, gin and whiskey. Most of the equipment was imported from Europe and is very impressive. They are hand bottling which is so unique in this day and age. The owner, George Racz, was on site to greet us. Nice afternoon break from the casinos and all the hub bub of The Strip. We purchased a few mason jars of Grandma's Apple Pie Whiskey which made fun holiday gifts to friends!
As a fan of Wiskey primarily, I had a great time taking the wiskey making class. George puts a lot of passion in his spirts and it was really cool to learn the entire process
We were looking for something different to do in the Las Vegas area, having been here numerous times before. Las Vegas Distillery filled the bill. We dropped in and were treated to an impromptu tour of the facility, including a lot of information about the production process. The distillery offers 9 different types of alcohol for tasting. We very much enjoyed our time there and the tastings, and purchased several bottles in the company store next door. Most certainly recommended.
Didn't know what to expect. Have visited jack Daniel in Tennessee. This distillery is small. They're just starting this business. We had a one on one tour along with tasting at the end. Excellent. We'll worth the 15-20 min drive
George, the owner, is a world class moonshiner. He came to the states with no knowledge of moonshine and utlimatetly got legislation passed to make and sell moonshine at his distillery. The moonshine made there is by far the best nationwide, and he has it in flavors.
I went to the whiskey-making class that's only offered (as of this writing) twice a year. WOW! The owner, George, gave the class, mixing it with fantastic stories of his own experience starting the distillery. I learned so much and enjoyed a lot of great alcohol! The whiskey and other spirits are delightful, but it's the love and delight that George and his partner Sid put into the whiskey that make this distillery tour a real winner.
My wife and I dropped by the Distillery in early December while visiting family. This was our second visit and my how things have changed in a year and a half. While we still love the rumskey, now we also love the whiskey and apple moonshine too. George is a first class host and businessman and he provided interesting information about his evolving business. The Distillery is one of our must do's in Vegas, early in the week!
Our Kansas University alumni group visited this local distillery in July. The tour consists of basically one large room that contains the entire booze works.But the attraction is not the machinery - it's the presenter: George Racz, the Hungarian-American founder of the distillery, along with his family, and, not incidentally, the guy who wrote and helped pass the legislation in Nevada that enabled this business to start in Nevada.George is large and somewhat profane - be advised - but really friendly and funny. And the booze samples aren't bad either.Worth the trip to Henderson!
My wife and I were visiting Las Vegas in April and she wanted to see the Ethyl M factory and I found this gem of a place. I noticed the boutique style of distillery they are and could not miss the opportunity to check it out. We were greeted by the staff who stopped working on the floors to the new gift shop to give us a tour of the place and to answer all questions and told us of their plans to do some chocolate work with their spirits in the future once we got the tour and finished asking all about their products we purchased several bottles of their craftwork which is as superior as their staff. As a sidelight when we were going through the Ethyl M plant we talked about the distillery and how wonderful an experience it was it astounded them that they had no idea that there was such a place only a few blocks away and they too will visit them Funny isn't it how when you live in a place you seldom know what is available to you. If you are in the area and even if you are not take the time when you are in the area and visiting the Vegas zone cTake the time to go on down to Henderson and check it out you won't be disappointed
