Waterpocket Distillery

"Booking a tour & tasting was one of the most interesting and educational experiences I've had in some time! Alan was a wealth of information on the physics, chemistry, biology, and history of what makes their product. He really could teach a Lifelong Learning class if it would take time from making their tasty product. Four of us took the tour. A perfect size group. I thought it would be interesting, but wouldn't consider myself a huge bitters or liqueurs connoisseur. After learning a little about the process, and seeing the raw ingredients that create the flavors, the tasting was SO much more meaningful and I really enjoyed all of what Waterpocket creates. Their store has product you can't get from the liquor store. Appointments advised. Make one. It's worth it!"

"Took the 1hr tour and it was the best Distillery tour I've ever done (and I've been to a lot of the big brand name tours). Learned a lot about the history of different alcohol making and learned a lot about the different spices that go into everything. You'll find things here that you can't find anywhere else. Would highly suggest anyone who likes a good cocktail to come by for a tour!"

"Magnificent flavors! I got this at first just because the bottle was beautiful and I loved the cork top but it is so good it’s now my absolute favorite whiskey. I found out after that it’s surprisingly made right here in Utah and to me that’s absolutely awesome. Thank you robbers roost for such a quality product. I am now a lifetime fan."

"First, the liquor here is good. Really, really, good. They have very good classics but more importantly, they have unique antique recipes that will blow the mind of anyone who enjoys a good spirit or liquor. However, that isn’t the only reason to come here. We dropped in and met the owners and they are passionate and ultra-knowledgeable about their craft while being so hospitable. Everything about our visit and tasting was enjoyable and completely unrushed — like we were the only people in the world to test the boozy treats put before us. Reservations for testing and tours are recommended and can be made online or over the phone. It’s totally worth it to support this fantastic local business."

"Alan did a fantastic job with this tour. I’ve been on a couple of distillery tours, but this was by far the most informative. Alan was clearly knowledgeable and deeply passionate about his craft (each bottle has a batch number indicating how “micro” this distillery can be). Alan knows everything about spirits — we talked science, monks, and the difference between ground cinnamon and real cinnamon. My family and I had a great time learning about the history of spirits and about how aromatics are used to make the unique flavors at Waterpocket. I highly recommend the drive over to check it out."
