A Diamond in the Rough! This distillery is a hidden gem in Culver City.
Lewis is basically an Alchemist! Having complete creative control over everything in his distillery means what he produces is innovative, multi layered and above all, quality. It’s obvious that this is not just a job but rather a passion for creativity and exploration.
The ryes, bourbons, single malts and gin were all excellent. As someone who has been part of a Scotch club for over 8 years, this experience made me rethink what American whisky’s can be. Well worth the $50 price tag for the tour and tasting. Highly recommend anyone who has a desire to learn more about craft distillation to visit Lewis at the Los Angeles Distillery.
The cherry on top was the pour right from the cask into the glass of an American single malt that completely blew me away. Lots of depth and character. Thank you so much for this experience Lewis. I had to limit myself to bring home only 3 bottles. Wish it could have been more. Will...
Read moreWent there for a tasting/tour in January as a christmas present. It started a little odd and unorganized, but it was a lot of fun. I've gone on probably a dozen or more distillery/brewery tours and this was one of my favorites. The owner gave us the tour and was extremely personable and friendly! He answered every question and has a gorgeous distillery.
the tasting was also great with excellent backstory and personality behind each pour. It was clear that the owner was excited to share his craft - he was generous with his pours and was eager to discuss the my opinions and tasting notes . I stuck to whiskey and I enjoyed each pour a lot (i bought two bottles).
My only critique/caution is that everything is a bit pricey - the tour wasn't cheap and the bottles in the shop are between $60 and $100, which I am fine paying for the quality, but it still adds up pretty quickly.
Overall, I highly recommend to people looking for a small distillery experience and some truly unique...
Read moreWe were looking for a distillery and were lucky to find Los Angeles Distillery. Even without an appointment, we were warmly welcomed by the owner, who took plenty of time just for the two of us. He explained everything in detail, shared insights about the distilling process, and made us feel truly valued. The small tasting at the end was the perfect finishing touch—especially the bourbon, which was excellent. The location itself is stylish and inviting, with a relaxed atmosphere that made the experience even more enjoyable. The service was outstanding, personal, and professional.
