45th Parallel Distillery-Stillwater

The coziest little bar in the back side of Stillwater Proper. A couple of things to note about this bar...they do not serve anything other than hard liquor drinks that are served with 45th parallel liquors. I highly enjoyed their old fashioned and they have a couple of old fashioned options. Fun little cute bar and has the best views of the lift bridge and the st croix river.

Been here a few times and it never fails to be a great experience. They've got great liquor, friendly bartenders, and a great deal on tasting flights. They've got some of the best wine-barrel aged whiskey I've ever tried. It's tucked behind Stillwater Proper so can be harder to find but I think it's 100x better than the restaurant itself. Cozy, 10-seat tasting room with some cool copper stills hanging around. I try to make the trip when I can to grab some conversation and whatever new booze they've got on tap.

Did the distillery tour with a tasting at the end. It was super awesome! Really informative but fun at the same time. Tobias was our tour guide- he was absolutely amazing. He knows his stuff and you can tell he is passionate about what he does and who he works for. Definitely recommend!!!
