I never thought I would say that I had an exciting day in Largo, but here we are! It's always an adventure with my BFF. After having coffee at a local cafe (review later), we went to Preez Distillery and Tasting Room. The owner, Ramon, started us with the plain distilled vodka, then to the flavored, then to the liquers. He said if you do it the other way, the plain will not taste good. I get it… palate disrupted and all. So, small disclaimer…. I'm a vodka girl. Most of the distilleries I've been to were whiskey or moonshine so this was exciting for me!! And this vodka was, by far, the SMOOTHEST I'd ever had. It went down like water. No chemical taste like some of the big brands. We skipped the vanilla. The blueberry I could just sit and drink straight. He said it's made to be mixed but I don't even think it needs to be! The three liqueurs (apricot, strawberry, and pumpkin) were AMAZING! they really showcased the ingredient it was named after. The apricot has a slight tartness and is unmistakably apricot. The strawberry was my favorite of the three. The pumpkin was almost vegetal and was VERY pumpkin forward! I had some last night in front of the TV 🥰
Fantastic experience! I'll be going again when the new season's apricot batch is finished some time in September. Also thinking of getting a small group to go for a tasting and distillery tour GNO, maybe with an outdoor dinner afterwards somewhere around there or...
Read moreOur party of four took part in the Tasting and Tour experience yesterday. It exceeded our expectations! Ramon, the owner, master distiller, and bartender is a great storyteller and offers his knowledge with a engaging sense of humor. His passion is on full display as he serves up delicious, "homemade" vodka, rum, liquer, and bitters. The tasting was in two parts with the "intermission" being a tour of the distillery. Ramon is excellent at describing the complex process in laymans terms. We all left with bottles in hand, warmth in our bellies, and smiles on our faces. Have a taste and a tour. You'll be...

The whole experience of the Distillary was personal. Ramon was willing to answer any of our questions. He product is phenomenal and full of flavor.
