Our Kinsip Fine Spirits Tasting

Kinsip Tasting

As I made my way to the tasting room, I was excited to finally experience the flavors that make Kinsip Distillery so unique.

With a wide variety of spirits available, including gin, whisky, and vodka, there was something for everyone.

We bought 3 tastings for $15 that included, Juniper’s Wit gin, Still’s Whisper vodka, and Maple whisky.

I can tell you firsthand that each spirit was expertly crafted and bursting with flavor, making it difficult to choose a favorite.

I was particularly impressed by the rich and complex flavors of the aged maple whisky, a true testament to the craftsmanship of the Kinsip Distillery.

The large oak barrels filled with whiskey, brandy, and gin created a sublime atmosphere that I had made for a cool rustic vibe.

From learning about different grains used in their mashes and barrels used for aging; to understanding the importance of distilling temperature and fermentation processes.
