Beautiful little distillery in a old town. The building has some original features of the old cigar factory, and they are turning the old train station into a little cafe.
I like that this place runs their whole operation, they distill, barrel and bottle it all. They also source all their grains from local CT farms.
Our host was very nice for the tasting
Very nice property, nice river with a water fall, outdoor seating.
Looking forward to their growth and expansion

Well it didn't surprise me when I saw your rating. Was lucky enough to see your gin on our local store end cap. Needed something special for a friend who loves her gin... on the rocks. We crushed the bottle over a few hours and both gave it 5 stars. It was amazing!

What an amazing day! Drove up to the Mine Hill Distillery only to find the front door locked. That didn't make sense. I found the staff working in another part and felt bad for interrupting, but they were awesome.
Me and my best friend sampled what they had to offer and accidentally bought four bottles.
Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Amazing products ... all around.
I hear they are opening a restaurant. I am sure they are going to rock that too.
FYI: while we bought some bourbon, the vodka is amazing.

Enjoyed very much

Such a local gem of a place to visit. Friendly and informative, Ron lead us through the history of the building, and then of course the distilling process itself. I came for the Bourbon, but really enjoyed the vodka during the tasting. Will definitely be back.

Truly amazing! Good spirits!

Exceptional quality. Applause for refurbishing historic buildings. Their products feature Connecticut grown grains and vendors. Made in Connecticut!
The Blue House Bagel Co Coming SPRING 2022
As the owner of The Blue House Bagel Co. Café, I was initially intrigued when Mine Hill Distillery reached out to collaborate. My first thought was, “Bourbon and Amaro with bagels? How in the world?” But curiosity got the best of me, and after much experimentation, something truly special was born.
We developed Bourbon French Toast Bagels, Amaro French Toast Bagels, along with Amaro Cream Cheese and Bourbon Cream Cheese. The flavors were a match made in heaven—rich, indulgent, and unlike anything else on the market. We launched these creations on Connecticut Day, and the feedback has been nothing but positive. Our customers are loving the unique twist on our traditional bagels.
This collaboration has been a delightful surprise, and we have a lot of fun stuff coming soon. I’m thrilled to be working with a distillery that shares our passion for creativity and quality. I highly recommend Mine Hill Distillery to anyone looking for exceptional products and exciting partnerships!

We held my daughter's graduation party at the Mine Hill Distillery Depot. It was an absolutely awesome time!
The owner, Ron, was so incredibly helpful throughout the entire process and very quick to answer my questions. He has a great passion for everything there. The Depot - which has such fun history - is located in a gorgeous spot in CT right on the Shepaug River. Sitting at the fire pit was like being in the center of a fantastic painting. Ken from the distillery was there on the day of our party and was so kind to talk to guests about the distillery process and the different spirits we had at the party. Everyone had the best time! They loved being able to tour the distillery and do tastings as well as having fun at the party. A few friends happily bought bourbon and the Amaro (one of my favorites!) They couldn't get over how delicious the vodka was.
It is such a beautiful location, amazing people to work with, so simple to set up our party and made for wonderful memories. I cannot recommend it highly enough!
Stopped in for a quick tasting. The people were exceptionally friendly. The property was beautiful. And we really enjoyed the spirits, particularly the Rye and the Amaro.

What a cool place. Great spirits. Enjoyed the bourbon and rye. I have to say it’s the coolest old restored building I’ve seen in a long time with probably the coolest bathroom ever.
