Fifth State Distillery — Local services in Bridgeport

I can’t believe that being around 5 years, I had no idea this place existed. I had a wonderful experience during the tasting and tour. Bridget and Robin were funny and super knowledgeable about their business. They answered all the questions me, my husband and friends asked. I love that they are super hands on with their business, making the alcoholic beverages offered seem so much more personalized. This great couple invests their time in making delicious beverages and hand sanitizers - all of which I tried and were great. If you have not visited Fifth State Distillery yet, I highly recommend that you do. You will not leave empty handed. There is a drink for everyone, even wine...

The Schulten family run the distillery and they are a top notch group of people. Tons of fun, learned a lot, tasted about a dozen different products and cocktails without leaving the tour too tipsy.

All of their offerings are quality, but personally I loved their moonshine (almost tastes like a silver agave tequila) and their winter style orange gin. I usually hate flavored liquor, but they capture the essence of their flavored offerings without adding sugar and drowning the quality of the liquor.

This is a great family run business I'm really glad I stumbled across! Rob and Bridget were fantastic in the delivery of their tour, providing information on the history, science, and techniques of distilling.
