Sugar House Distillery — Local services in South Salt Lake

We had the pleasure of visiting Sugar House Distillery while on vacation. It has an industrial store-front first impression, but as soon as you walk through the front door and see the attractive lobby area and working warehouse in view, you feel the energy of the place. Steve welcomed us into the warehouse. With copper kettles in the background, he gave us an education (with passion and enthusiasm) on the process and art of creating their brand. We appreciated the historical information as well as comparison to other processes in other parts of the world. We enjoyed many samples of various products Sugar House makes. It is obvious they really care about what they do. Our son left with a bottle of the most delicious vodka. We were completely impressed and are the newest fans of the Sugar House Distillery and their product line. I will never drink whiskey again without thinking of all the care that goes into creating it....

I didn't realize the Rye had been out and available for a month now. I just saw that. I was in SLC for other reasons, and I added that I needed some Rye. On my first trip, I had purchased the white and gold Rum. I was able to have a great visit this time with Eric. Given he's the guy over the distilling, that was a treat. We talked a fair amount about the Gin they're going to do. I'm looking forward to that. After getting the Rum, I tasted it against a half dozen similar ones out of the 20 of so I have at the house. It was right up there at the top for the style. I'm about to taste the Rye again the other 8 I have and I expect the same.

I think these guys are already at the top of the game for small distillers. The new Still that just came should really give them a leg up going forward.

The first time here, I took the tour and they were really great. This time in just...

Man, oh man, they make some great whiskey! Their Rye is really unique, unlike any other rye I've had in a very good way. There is a sweet, fruitiness on the back end, almost a hint of apricot that is just wild. My wife LOVES rye and just adored this stuff.

Their wine cask finished whiskey was like having desert after a good meal. Kind of decadent with just a mouthful of flavors. I think they only see that at the distillery, but 100% worth stopping by to get some.

Their Single Malt just grows and grows on you. It was the first bottle of whiskey I ever bought and now I can't get enough of it. Definitely worth picking up.

Do yourself a favor and check these guys out if you're in SLC (or passing through) Definitely...
