Holy Ghost Distillery, Inc. — Local services in Kidder Township

I booked a reservation about 3 weeks out for 6 of us to celebrate my fiancés 40th. Upon arrival this past Saturday, I let them know I was here and that the others would be there shortly. I was asked if we wanted to do the tour but explained we didn’t, just sit at the outside table and enjoy the music. Boy do I wish we would have done the tour. We stood around for about 25 minutes or so waiting to be seated when we had a reservation. Shortly after being seated we were told that they needed 4 of our 6 menus because a bachelor party of 25 walked in and they needed them. About 15 minutes or so later they came over to take our drink order. I was looking on the online menu since others needed the menus. I was told I could only order off of the menu that was given that day and that “he won’t make anything else that’s not on the featured menu.” Which meant no mocktails for me. Nonalcoholic choice was water out of an igloo cooler. First round of drinks came about 15 minutes after that. So the reservation was for 2 and we finally got drinks by 3pm. 2nd round of drinks were ordered and only one of the 3 drinks came to the table. By 3:30 we were told the others were coming but never did so we decided to leave. It was such a shame because I really wanted to enjoy the place and stay for a few hours being that I’ve heard such great things, but we honestly couldn’t have gotten out of there any faster. Unfortunately, our experience was not so great. I only gave 2 stars because everyone enjoyed the drinks that we did actually get. I’m hoping maybe some wait staff called off and I caught them...

What a hidden gem! (Maybe not hidden, but new to us; haha.) I took my guy here for the Chocolate and Bourbon pairing experience as a little birthday surprise. Neither of us had been here before, and we were so impressed. Janice was knowledgeable, kind, warm, and patient while we asked a bunch of questions. They have such a unique product with a lovely story behind it. The price for the experience felt more than fair, especially given the personalized attention you get. Full disclosure it was just the two of us during our booked experience, but I can’t imagine it being any less enjoyable with a larger group as long as everyone’s respectful of the host!

I work in customer experience and was a little bummed to see the few less positive reviews. Feedback is important, but it’s clear this is a small, family-run business, and expectations should reflect that. There’s a small team here, and honestly, if you come in expecting lightning-fast service while hanging out with friends for drinks, that’s on you. Although I imagine it's just fine anyway. Grab a small plate, buy a bottle, and enjoy the wait (if that’s allowed!) They have clear signage about their 21+ rule, a super informative website, and set expectations clearly. Highly recommend. We can’t...

Cannot say a enough good things about this place. I was visiting my parents from California and was looking for something fun to do and stumbled upon this place online. Booking a tour was quick and easy. The staff was super friendly and accommodating.

The distillery tour was fun and interesting. We got to taste all of their house bourbons. After the tour we sat in the patio area and had cocktails and snacks. I had the Maple Bourbon Smash and the Blueberry Bourbon Smash. Make sure you ask for them smoked! The come in a little treasure chest full of yummy smoke.

My Dad had the cucumber martini, which he loved enough to not only have a second, but he also bought a bottle of the gin so he could make it at home. They even had a great selection of mocktails for our designated driver. (Thanks Mom!)

And of course I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention the fantastic smoked bourbon Gouda we ordered to snack on between cocktails.

Overall, a lovely way to spend an afternoon. My only regret is that I don’t...
