We stopped in for a quick peek at this small business and stayed for a wonderful visit! The cocktails are delicious, artful and carefully prepared. Recipes were enthusiastically shared so we can continue to enjoy our favorites at home. Small plates are likewise tasty giving us all the more reason to stay longer. We especially love the local, natural emphasis of all their products.
We visited this place last night almost immediately after arriving in town for a "weekend getaway". If I was better with names, I would call out specific people in my review. This place was absolutely amazing! We started with the flight, which was very reasonably priced. None of these spirits aren't made in the traditional way, but when sampling them, you really couldn't tell!! Because of the word "solar" in the name, I of course had to ask our server if solar power was indeed used. He mentioned that all of the spirits distilled were with the intent of making them as sustainable as possible, which I'm guessing is why they didn't always use traditional ingrdients.
While we were there, two of the guys working in the back, I think one was probably one of the owners, came out to test a new drink. We talked with them a bit as well. Also very fun and friendly.
My only complaint is that during the whole 2 hours we were here, ABSOLUTELY NO other customers walked in. We were told that Saturday is usually the busy day, but I still expected at least one or two other patrons. I understand the tasting room is relatively new, but I hope more people start visiting, especially throughout the week. Next time we are in town, we will definitely be back!
Dan and Jim are some of the most knowledgeable spirit makers in the industry. Their vision to start a sustainable distillery and figure out a way use renewal energy is outstanding. The coffee vodka was one of my favorites on my visit. The Cosmo in a close second. If your reading this try their products! You won't be disappointed.
We are long haul Professional Drivers, I called Solar Spirits hoping To obtain hand sanitizer .
Its increasing difficult to purchase throughout
the country. We were able to purchase "2" wine bottles full of sanitizer. Thank you
Fantastic spirits and very welcoming staff. Interesting and unique selection. Some of their vodkas and gins are down right dangerous! (In a good way haha!) Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area.
*My only disappointment is that they were completely out of their whiskey, but I guess it means it's pretty good.
