Last Shot Distillery - Skaneateles

We had 2 tastings so we tasted a total of 8 offerings. Every one of them was great! There wasn’t a single one I wouldn’t order a bottle of. The standouts were the chocolate crème brûlée liquor, the orange crème lightning liquor and the bourbon. The gin and the vodka were also fantastic. The distiller (chef Uyehara) was there and was very forthcoming with his experience and thoughts on the offerings and was a pleasure to talk to. His insights made the tasting even more engaging and fun. We left with several bottles and would definitely go back.

Great place to visit. Interesting talking to and learning from Chris.

I met a bunch of friends of mine who are beer drinkers out here today unbeknownst to me that it 's more than a brewery but a distillery as well. Yes, I now know they have the word distillery in the title but my assumption was this was strictly a craft brew place... wrong. I consider myself a very casual beer consumer. My preference is bourbon. While my friends all enjoyed their craft brews, I sampled the $4 flight of spirits coming away quite satisfied with every single one. And, I 'm picky when it comes to Bourbon. My flight choice included the Four Grain whiskey, the Skaneateles whiskey, the Bourbon, the crème brûlée, and the honey barreled. Yes, I know, that makes 5. Though the flight was only 4 choices the server was very gracious and let me try the maple barreled one... sweet, but yum! The Four grain whiskey was one of the highly decorated spirits winning numerous gold awards. Though my first choice is not whiskey, this was absolutely fabulous! Deep, rich flavor that won 't overtake your palette. The master distiller gets a lot of praise for the work he puts into his creations, all of which are earned. I found the Skaneateles whiskey to be quite excellent as well with its smooth finish and flavorful draw. Their bourbon stands right up there with some of the best I 've had. I found a hint of maple, cherry flavor but not oaky. The crème brûlée was a nice sweet spirit a kin to Bailey 's or Frangelica 's. It 's something coffee drinkers would find pleasant to add to their drink. I also very much enjoyed the maple whiskey. Having a sweet tooth for these sort of things this New York-based foundation made for a sweet tasty drink. There is seating inside and out. The day we were there they had live music. No question, we will all definitely be back again. I look forward to the time we can sit outside as well.

Chris, you definitely earned/deserved the title of Master Distiller. You have a Wonderful Distillery! We'll definitely be back!
