Gallows Hill Spirits Co. — Attraction in Allentown

We live in California but family gets us to Allentown at least once a year and we're always looking for unique things to do, drink, and eat! As fans of experiences and liquor tastings, we were delighted to discover Gallows Hill Spirits!

It's such a great value too...for one relatively low "couples" price my wife and I got to 1) sample all their spirits, 2) get an interesting tour of the place which told the proprietor's family story and connection to the Salem witch trials, 3) each get a cocktail at the end, and 3) given a souvenir flask! I think all of this was $29 which is, at least where we're from in Southern Cal, less than the price of 2 cocktails on their own. It was a great value and experience.

The spirits were fun to taste...the owner himself gave us the tour which was a really fascinating look at his family history connecting all the way back to the Salem Witch Trials. (The space itself is decorated with that theme...well done and fun to be in.) The tour also included bringing us into the back to see the entire process of where the spirits are created.

And of course, a finishing cocktail was included. My wife and I enjoyed "The Godfather" and "Jamaican Bobsled" and we definitely left happy.

if you're looking for something fun and unique to do in Allentown, definitely check out Gallows Hill Spirits...the tour was an incredible value, but you can also just show up during opening hours to...

Gallows Hill Spirits is now our favorite distillery. The owner, Mr. Piano greeted us and helped us to get checked in with our Groupon code we had. The tastings of his spirits were great and it follows in a great order that pleases the palate. While doing the tastings, he educated us on the process of distillations and what makes certain spirits, certain spirits. He gives a great tour with the Salem Witch Trials and I can honestly say I learned more from Mr. Piano than I did being up in Salem, MA itself. The knowledge that he has on the subject is really amazing. It turns out Mr. Piano had a relative who was executed at the trials.

He took us on a tour of the distillation process located in the back and you can see he puts his heart and soul into this distillery. The four of us in my party decided to get drinks at the bar, and let me say they were absolutely fantastic. If you are looking for some new spirits and wanting something more than just tastings, then you really need to visit Gallows Hill Spirits. You won't be...

A few times throughout the years we have visited Gallows Hills, and we had a nice experience. We have mentioned Gallow Hills to family and friends and also have done their tours. Yesterday, on the other hand, was a different story. We walked in on a Thursday evening and it was game night. I'm sure they had their regular clientele, which we are not and it showed.

The owner and bartender were very cold and we felt like we were not welcomed. Whenever we would go there, we always get a few drinks and a few bottles to take home. I love their leminchello, bourbon and Vodka, but because of how we were treated we decided not to support them. It's unfortunate that we had that experience, but we rather go to the many Distilleries that we have throughout the lehigh valley where we are treated well, and give them our business. We will never step foot into Gallow Hills, and we are very much...
