Loaded Cannon Distillery

This place was fantastic! The drinks were delicious and the staff and owner were so welcoming and personable.

Great flights! So many delicious flavors!

Tourists and locals alike will love this spot! The tour and tasting was so fun and informative that I only got one picture! Steve and Alana are top notch. The tasting and tour was a highlight of our stay in Anna Maria Island/Bradenton and I highly recommend a trip to see them. We loved the whiskeys, lemoncello, and straight bourbon was 11/10.

Great place. In-house created bourbon, rye, vodka, tequila, etc. They also teamed up with 3 Car Garage and are serving craft beers on tap.

Owner Steve is sometimes around and is always good for a quick chat.

This distillery has drinks, tours and a whiskey making experience! I found Loaded Cannon Distillery after looking for a place that offered a lesson in whiskey making. I contacted Steve, the owner, and he was quick to respond. Steve is very nice and super informative. Steve gave us a tour of the distillery and then we got started on making whiskey. The group made two 15 gallon barrels. Steve explained each part of the process. Following his directions, we did each part of the process... from making the mash and fermenting to distilling and then barreling you get to do it all. I've taken distillery tours in the past but did not really have an understanding of what really went into making whiskey. We sampled what the busienss has for sale and what we made. Im excited to see how the finished product will turn out. Now we wait a year and a half for the whiskey to age. There were birthday parties and tours going while we were there. This place gets busy but I can see why. The drinks that are available are delicious. There was a food truck on site each day on the weekend. Steve is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. I will definitely go back and highly recommend this place.

I contacted Loaded Cannon for a Birthday Whiskey Tour for my husband and 10 friends after a well known Tampa Distillery backed out. For less than half from what the other location wanted, the owner agreed to a private tour, off hours, and from what I heard, it was fantastic. The tour was informative, they purchased whiskey, had samples, a food truck was present, and now two weeks later, his friends are still talking about it. I am so glad I contacted Loaded Cannon. Thank you for making my husband's birthday one for the books!! Highly Recommend!!!

We had a wonderful time visiting the distillery today. Steve was very knowledgeable and made the tour fun and there were a lot of good drinks to sample! My husband said the Bloody Mary was the best he has ever tasted. The mule was also amazing! We will be making this a stop anytime we are in the area!

Great place. Steve is such a great guy. Try the tour. It a must if your visiting the area.

I can't say enough amazing things about this place. Steve and Alana are the nicest people you will ever meet. Alana makes the most delicious cocktails and will even create something unique on the spot if you ask. Steve is a genius when it comes to spirit making. I am addicted to his jalapeno vodka and his mango agave spirit. The atmosphere is warm and friendly. You won't be disappointed.

We had so much fun we forgot to take pictures. My friend booked a tour & tasting. Alana greeted us & gave us menus. After we chose 6 items to taste Steve greeted us & started the tour. What an interesting character he is!! In addition to teaching us how it’s all done & introducing us to “Annie” & the rest he also sprinkled in some wild trivia questions. After the tour we had our tastings ready & waiting. I loved the jalapeño vodka & the apple pie whiskey. Even their water is special. Can’t wait to go again just for cocktails! Wish we had discovered this place sooner.

I came for a tour of the distillery a couple weeks ago and loved it. Steve is so knowledgable and interesting, I learned so much about the process of distillation, aging, and flavor infusion from him. Would recommend to anyone interested, he can answer just about any question you have!

Awesome tour. Owner was very friendly.

I was visiting from the university of south Florida for a school trip, and it was amazing! Steve was very hospitable and gave an excellent tour of the distillery. A very unique place that stands out from the rest of the distilleries in Florida. GO HERE!

We recently visited the distillery and enjoyed a loaded cannon flight of some of their finest spirits. We took the tour with owner Steve which was both informative and entertaining.
We enjoyed every minute and you will too !!

We stopped by on a Saturday just to check it out. We ended up doing the tour and tasting and let me just say this was an awesome experience! Steve was incredible at sharing his journey, explaining the processes, answering questions and we had an absolute blast!!! The drinks were top notch and Alana at the bar was great! We will be going back with some friends soon and doing one of their mixology classes! We can’t wait!! Be sure and order the “salted caramel crème cicle” absolutely the best cocktail I’ve had in a very long time!!! Do not skip this place and definitely do the tour!!!
