Adventurous Stills

I've been to Adventurous Stills in Tempe before but had not done the tasting tour yet. We were there with a group of friends and scored the last tasting of the day.Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining. I must admit I didn't get his name since I was at the back of the group. We sampled quite a large variety of spirits (vodka, whiskey, agaves, etc.) some of which were smoky and or cask strength which made for a special tasting experience.They have a nice little setup for such a small distillery but they sure do pack a punch with pretty much everything they offer. Everyone seemed to have a favorite with some that overlapped while others had specific tastes that piqued their interest.They do have a happy hour and they seemed quite popular with the Tempe area locals the night we were there. I am not aware if there was any food being offered (snack or otherwise) but there were enough people there that I didn't get to linger in any particular spot for too long to get a chance to look more closely.Everyone was very friendly and welcoming and extra helpful too! They helped us take a group picture by the casks and smoothly took care of all of our orders with such ease!We currently have a small collection of spirits from Adventurous Stills to which I'm sure we'll be adding to now that more people in our circle are aware of their wares.If you're thinking of checking them out, go ahead of stop in for a drink or sign up for a tasting! They'll help raise your spirits!

Very small distillery off the beaten path with everything made on-site with ingredients (other than the agave) from Arizona. We took a distillery tour and got to taste several different kinds of their liquors. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and hilarious! The vibe in the tasting room is very down to earth and lowkey. The bartenders served up the drinks quickly and cracked jokes with everyone around the bar having us feel like we were all friends. The cocktails we ordered were delicious as well. Highly recommended checking this little local gem out for a chill evening.

Visiting Adventurous Stills can be a little confusing at first because it is located in a business park. But once you step inside, you will find an extremely laid back but fun place to relax and have a good drink. Adventurous Stills is an award-winning small-batch local craft distillery that is located in Tempe that started in 2015. Their spirits are produced from grain right inside this building. They offer tours on the weekends and have a fun membership club that includes exclusive benefits just for members. Hand-crafted cocktails can be ordered in the tasting room with happy hour on Fridays from 4pm-6pm.I learned about Adventurous Stills from a fellow Yelp Elite (Christina) who also works here. It's a fun crew behind the bar that knows how to make a good drink (love my Old Fashioned). The owner Kelly is a great guy and very passionate about the process of making these spirits. The atmosphere is pretty chill here. Bring some food and hang out in the tasting room with some other cool folks who just want to drink a great local spirit. In addition to to-go bottles, Adventurous Stills also sells merchandise like shirts, flasks, and glasses.

Adventurous Stills was truly a great find! Don't get me wrong, I don't take credit for finding it... rather that goes to Christina and our awesome Yelp team... but this was a great find! The location is a little off the beaten path... but once you find your way here, then you will be grateful you did!Every hour is terrific at Adventurous Stills but Happy Hour is my favorite time there with some wonderful discounts on their cocktails that the bartenders craft oh-so-skillfully! And the cocktails are where it's at here -- I dare you to find a drink that you don't like - they're all so damned good!It's really a cool environment altogether... from the front seating area with the bar as the main focus along with a few tables and other seating areas... to the back area where the magic all happens - with their distilling machines (that's my totally generic way of describing it... sorry) and barrels of delicious (or soon to be delicious) spirits! The owner offers tours every hour or so... and I would recommend you spend some of your time taking a tour.This is one of those local five star gems that we are lucky to have so close to home! *****FIVE STARS*****

They don't have food here (other than nuts and chips) but the drinks and service are exceptional! Borka is a very personable and knowledgeable bartender and remembered us even though we haven't been there in months!

For a new experience sure, it's cute and something new. It's a small distillery hidden in an industrial building area the staff is nice. The tour guide was great and informative, but keep in mind very small distillery very small samples however! It is still cool to see, but I will say for us the whiskey just didn't hit the spot unfortunately. They have an affordable Groupon for this and for like $15 a person it is totally worth it.... If you don't end up, loving the whiskey, like us.

Established in 2015, Adventurous Stills is a small-batch distillery based in Tempe, Arizona that handcrafts premium award-winning whiskey and spirits using traditional methods and modern innovation. What an amazing local distillery! They truly have a line-up worthy of turning heads. The vodka is ridiculously smooth and the gin especially is intriguing. It doesn't have that Christmas potpourri taste with that over-powering juniper bite. They use a different blend of botanicals and it's amazing! It's also a gorgeous golden color that looks like that beautiful Arizona sunshine captured in a bottle.Yelp Elite Christina M. works here so make sure you say hello when you see this lovely lady! Stop on in for a good drink and take a tour if you can.

I had a great time at this tour and tasting Elite Event. The tour was very informative and the complimentary samples of their own gin, rum and whiskey definitely enhanced the tour! I selected their Cosmopolitan as my main drink and really enjoyed it as well. Owner Kelly is a really cool guy and it's great this business is offering locally made spirits including vodka,gin and rum not just whiskey. Community Manager Bailey was on hand and did an outstanding job organizing and running the event.AS also offers bottles of their products, delivery and caters private events.It's easy to get to with ample parking in an industrial area which is nice because there's no annoying rowdy bar street scene in the area.This is a great place to go for couples, dates and birthdays, special events.Highly recommended...just remember to use a designated driver that won't drink or get a taxi/ride back because you'll probably want to drink more than you expected because their spirits are superlative!

Ugh.. was planning to do a tasting today..initially tasted their whiskey at art show and my wife was going to treat me to a tour, etc for my birthday..Ordered online.. hopefully we get it

The honey whiskey is out of this world, amazing, and the people that run this organization are ridiculously kind, generous, friendly, exciting all of those things I full on recommend this place and I can't wait to get down there later today to buy some more whiskey
