The Hardware Distillery — Local services in Shelton

Must stop pit stop! This little nook is one of the best craft distillery I have had tastings at. Majority of ingredients used are local and make this such a special thing.

The whiskey is just fantastic. The Gin is special. The mead based spirits are creative and tasty. There's something special about each and every thing he makes. The shop has some very nice items that make excellent souvenirs, too. They sell a nice selection of sample sizes so you don't have to choose a favorite. Try the Cats Pajamas. A wonderful cherry based liquor that caps off a perfect round of tasting. Obviously, I...
