Rolling Still Distillery and Lounge

A great vibe. Great service at the bar or sitting down. Very well made cocktails.Open later than normal for Taos. Of course that also means that it gets a bit crowded as other bars close up.One of the better drinking places in Taos.

Stopped in to have a quick drink. Really cool vibe. The staff was super nice. We ordered the Breadsticks with Rosemary-Sage butter and a side of the Marinated Olives. Yum to both! For drinks we ordered a Fireside Old fashioned and a Campfire Cocoa. I definitely recommend those. Great vodka! A short sweet and to the vodka point menu was nice. They have a good selection of beer. They sell their vodka bottles there and have several varieties available.They are a bit pricy but once in a while it is nice to splurge. We will be back next time we are in the area.

We decided to visit for a pre-dinner cocktail on Christmas Eve. The place was hopping. We sat at a two top in the back room. It was very full and there was live jazz music which enhanced the festive atmosphere. The seasonal cocktail menu had interesting selections and we both enjoyed our drinks; mine was the Afterparty which is a take off on a traditional espresso martini but taken up a notch. Pecan Vodka, Espresso liqueur, cold brew cream, chocolate bitters and lemon oil. It was a well balanced drink. I inquired about how sweet it was prior to ordering because I don't enjoy super sweet drinks. I was told it was not too sweet and it wasn't. It was really good. Hubby had the Enabler which had Los Poblanos gin, house made Chartruese, Lemon and Cherry Liqueur, with smoked rosemary. Hubby said it was really, really good and interesting, Noticed they had a poster which showed live music three to four nights a week. This is walkable from our house and so fun to visit. Looking forward to visiting again.

This place was recommended by one of our river guides. She wasn't kidding , the drinks were amazing and the service was welcoming. Taos sports some cool spots and doesn't seem to have a bad spot! I'm not a local but that means a-lotespecially when you're visiting!

Incredible cocktails! Creative and tasty. Comfy nooks to sit and sip with a companion, great staff! If you're looking for an after dinner cocktail this place can't be beat!

Amazing experience!!! Cute ambiance, delicious drinks and great company! We basically sampled the entire menu and can't wait to come back and do it again! Blake is a fantastic bartender who made us feel right at home! You can't go wrong with any of the cocktails. Every single one was amazing! Thanks so much!!!

We stopped in to the rolling still distillery on a whim. We had several of their cocktails and were treated to taste of some of their special whiskeys and vodkas. The bartender was exceptionally knowledgeable and shared a little bit of the history of this trendy little spot which is perfect for a relaxing drink in the afternoon or nightcap in the evening.Their whiskeys are amazingly smooth for ones that are so young. Their infused vodka is made for some wonderful signature cocktails. Highly recommend that you stop in and have a beverage at this cool little bar.

June 9, 2023 - Rolling Still Distillery and Lounge (Taos, NM)This is the spot to come for an afternoon/evening of refreshment and pleasure. Signature cocktails, flights, mixed drinks, beer, wine, cider, light bites, and on this Friday evening live entertainment. We found this to be a very relaxed place to hang out, with a cozy little bar with about six or so stools, a large plush couch with a few chairs and tables in the lounge area, and a comfortable patio seating area with couches, tables and chairs.It was a joy to meet our bartenders Darla and Hannah. We talked over the menu and decided on a Macho Mule for me and Lavender Drop Martini for my wife. Good way to start things off. Both drinks exceptional, made with Rolling Still vodka and lavender infused vodka. After enjoying those drinks with a small bowl of spiced nuts, we decided to do a couple flights, a flight of 4 vodkas for my wife and a flight of 4 whiskies for me. Glad we did. Those were all delicious as well.The vodka flight included green chili vodka, red chili vodka, lavender vodka, and pecan vodka. Each vodka flavor was true to the character you would expect. All were very tasty. The Whiskey flight included a local Taos Sidewinder 4.2, made by Ponderosa Whiskey Company, Taylor Garrett Bourbon out of Albuquerque, Big Nose Kate out of Santa Fe, and Colkegan Single Malt whisky made by Santa Fe Spirits Co. They were all very good as well. I especially liked the Colkegan Single Malt, which is a peated-malt Scottish-style whisky. You can't call it scotch unless it's made in Scotland. However, this American cousin was pretty darn good. There was one other whisky that caught my eye, the Taylor Garrett Rye out of Albuquerque. Zack, who I'm guessing is the owner, let give that one a try as well. Also very tasty.The vodkas were all $26 per 750 ml bottle. The whiskies ranged from $35 to $59 per 750 ml bottle. You get a 10% discount on bottle purchases if you do a flight. We decided to buy a bottle of the green chili vodka, lavender vodka, and the Colkegan Single Malt whisky. A guitarist showed up at about 6 PM; however, we were getting a little hungry at that time and decided to move on. Wish we could've stayed. Maybe tomorrow night. They have live music on Fridays and Saturdays.Darla, Sweeney, Hannah, and ZachIf you wanna have fun todayThis is where it's atCheck ''em outIt's a really cool barIt's a place I'm rating a total five starIsn't it amazing how creative you get after just a couple drinks? :-)

A friendly staff serving a variety of tasty cocktails. Nice ambiance and a great after dinner stop for a nightcap and some desert.
