52eighty Distilling

YOOOOOO 52eighty-You are ONE awesome spot! After my 5th funeral of the 2023 year, you were the perfect spot for a toast to a life well lived. Sure, your location was a little hard to find (and by little, I mean ALOT) but parking is ample, an extra event venue is attached next door and your twinkle lights had us beckoning to walk in! Once we walked through your doors, your super sweet staff was there to greet us, give us a run-down of the holiday specials on the menu and offer us a variety of tastings! It's your vodka that really shines through - so much in fact, that my husband and I left with a bottle of your in house made Peach Vodka to enjoy for later! Dad loved his Bourbon, while Mom, my husband and I were easily obsessed with your take on a holiday espresso martini with cream - which was absolutely delicious! I'm obsessed with you and happy to find you in my hood - aka the burbs! I can't wait to return in the summer - because THAT patio! Until next time!-Your new biggest fan,Katie F

The cocktails are amazing!! It's an absolute must!. Our favorites were the maple old fashioned and cinnamon old fashioned.

Enjoyable place with good drinks all around. Can get busy at peak hours but worth it when you walk out feeling good

What a cool new find! And not too far from home. Woot!Albeit, without their bright "Distillery" signs to help lead the way, it would've taken us a bit longer to actually find their place. 52eighty is nestled on the back side of an industrial area, directly across from Blue Spruce Brewing, but not facing the road. We felt like we were driving to the back loading docks of the businesses, but alas, we hit pay-dirt! Keep driving and look for the signs. Once you feel like you're on the back side, you're close! All that to meet the owners (two friends and their wives) as well as their investor - clearly also a good friend. Sitting down at the bar, we witnessed their light hearted banter. We felt immediately at home and were laughing almost as soon as we walked in. What can be better? Well, great drinks made it epic. We tasted each of their distilled goodness and man, they know what they're doing. I'm not a straight whiskey fan and typically don't even sip my beloved vodkas neat, but you can do this with their offerings. And, bless them for incorporating Palisade peaches into their Summer Peach vodka. Wow. You can literally smell the peaches before sipping. Nothing added but true peachy goodness - all picked fresh, individually pitted and added to the distilling process. YUM. My partner is the whiskey drinker. We both really appreciated their Hearthstone and Cackler's. While both are incredibly smooth and don't have the anticipated "bite" that I'm used to, the Hearthstone wowed us with its three-year-old Irish Whiskey and Rye Whiskeys, bringing forth a surprisingly sweet, floral fragrance, and hints of toasted oak and vanilla. Don't misunderstand though, the Cackler's was a very close second. We ultimately took a bottle home of their Summer Peach and the Hearthstone, but wouldn't been just as happy with the other two. Wow. Such a cute, laid back, neighborhood vibe (with neighbors you honestly like, lol) paired with some amazing drinks and solid spirits to hold it all together? We could've stayed all night. We might still be there now if they didn't have families and kiddos to care for... that and the fact they do close each night! Ha! So damn good. Go. Really... go now. You're welcome in advance.

We are such fans of this distillery. Fresh, seasonal cocktails on the menu and solid Old Fashioned choices. The bartenders are proud of their product and they are so nice. If you need a munchie there's a popcorn machine to satisfy that. Can't wait to go back!

As mentioned in my previous review, I focused on neat tasting of their whiskeys and vodka. Today I returned and focused on their cocktails to compliment the sunny weather. I tried a couple of my own and took a few sips from my friend's drinks. I had the Irish Madden and the Sally Cider, and sipped the Maple Old Fashioned and the Mustang Sally. Oh lord, all of them were equally superb. They were all delicious, with each offering a well balanced flavor without being overly sweet. If you aren't necessarily a neat whiskey drinker, the cocktails here are definitely worth the visit. I simply love family owned endeavors and this place stands out. Can't wait to go back and try a few more on their endless list of cocktails featuring their distilled spirits.

This place is Awesome! They have tons of spirits distilled here! Great Atmosphere! They have Whiskey, Bourbon, Vodka and Gin. They have plenty of parking and it is a beautiful facility. There is an attached Tap Room which is also Awesome and they have a Food Trailer out front. They have a big screen showing movies out front.

Hidden away but should not be a secret! This place is great! Delicious cocktails with local made spirits. Can't wait to check out whiskey Wednesday and happy hour.

The vodka, no matter how many "flavors" they add, is heinous. Bourbon is marginal at best. Gin is petrol.

Had a great time last week. Headed to the distillery on a whim. Had a tasting of their spirits with Lou. Then Lou guided us to the right cocktails. I had the Maple/Cinnamon Old Fashioned and the wife had the Palisade Mule. Both were great. We left with a bottle of the Peach Palisade Vodka and the Cackler's Whiskey. Think we found our new spot. Thanks Lou!!!
