I walked in looking for a local bottle for my boyfriend who will be moving to LA tomorrow and I wanted to get him something local and WOW! Not only is their award winning whiskey delicious, Blake, who helped me out, was SOOO helpful and spoke to me like we were old friends. Customer service is one thing, Blake took it to a whole other level with just being himself.

I wanted to bring a local spirit or two as gift for some friends. I am not a fan of neutral grain spirits and a lot of the distilleries are focused on that. LA Distilling is one of the few places that has whiskeys and apparently makes them on site and The Whiskey Store is their retail front. Google maps will take you to their warehouse area, pull into the parking spot but keep going. The storefront is a little bit off center from the distillery. I went on a weekday so it was quiet, like in an eerie way. The front door was locked and I ended up going around back through their warehouse. That's where I ran into someone finally who told me to go around back, no just follow him. Their showroom is nice-in need of a little dusting but nice. I asked what was good or popular and he said everything was, not super helpful so I ended up buying two bottles of their bourbon.I got to try it after I presented it to my friend-it was ok. It definitely needed some more mellowing.

I was looking for an unusual (but good) bourbon as a gift, and they really delivered. It's an interesting selection of bourbon, rye whiskey, and a bit of gin and rum. It's all made right next door, and the staffer I talked to was incredibly helpful in explaining the aging of each selection and helping me choose the right one.My friend and I got great service and I feel like I ended up with an unusual and beautiful gift.

This place is amazing. If you're a whiskey drinker, and I'm talking good stuff (not your cheapo Evan Williams drinker), this is the place to go. Wonderful selection, it's like a kid in a candy store if you like good whiskeys. The people who work here are very knowledgeable on whiskeys too. I love this place. Try to swing by whenever I'm in the area. Great place for sure.

I went to the whiskey store looking for a great bottle of whiskey to get a good friend of mine for his birthday. I could have gone to BevMo and bought a glen whatever and been done with it but I wanted something special and I found it at the whiskey store. They distilled their own whiskey there so I was able to get small sample and liked what I tasted so I got a bottle. Speaking of the bottle it is absolutely beautiful and it says Los Angeles distillery on the side along with some palm trees and an etching of the city skyline. I was born and raised in LA and I felt very represented within that bottle. Overall it was a truly special experience to get this bottle for my friend and I would definitely go back. This is a truly hidden gem in Los Angeles if you're looking for a gray bottle of whiskey. Support your local business.

Good spot to support local whisk(e)y. Went in to the store that is connected to Los Angeles Distillery. Looking to find some new whiskey for sippin while I play my vinyl (grown man status) Was helped by Blake who's really knowledgeable about the inventory. Those place has whiskey, whisky, rum, vodka, etc. I left with a bottle of Glen LA and High Rye. The High Rye had to be tapped from the barrels and bottle and came with a bit of a wait, but is some of the smoothest stuff I've ever tasted. Highly recommended spot.

I found this hidden gem through a friend and I'm so excited to share with everyone I know. The store is located at the Los Angeles Distillery where you can peak in the back and see where all the magic happens. When I walked back I met the owner who was a very nice and welcoming man. I came to get (2) birthday bottles and the birthday boys were not disappointed. Great looking bottles and great taste! Can't wait to be back with my friends to do a tasting very soon!

The boyfriend and I came here to find some gifts for fathers day, a friend's birthday and a housewarming gift. As a total whiskey noob, Blake was super patient and asked great questions about the folks we were grabbing gifts for before giving us a thoughtful recommendation. He was also super fun to talk to. Didn't think shopping for gifts could be this fun! Can't wait to come back to buy stuff for ourselves!

What a discovery! Went to Culver City for tacos and ended up finding this hidden gem. Their bourbon is delicious, and the single malt is the best new American whiskey I've had in years. I'll be back for the distillery tour!

This place is AWESOME! They have a knowledgeable and fun staff. Any questions you have about their products can be answered quickly and in a manner that makes it easy to understand - no overly complicated technical jargon. The hooch they make is A+! Great variety of whiskies of all shapes and sizes. Reasonable prices too. Everything tasted amazing with great notes! Great for a small gathering of friends to do a tour or a tasting. Will most definitely be back!
