Twin Falls Distillery sits on 2nd Avenue West in downtown Twin Falls, Idaho, bringing craft spirits to the Snake River region since 2019. Founded by local entrepreneurs who saw an opportunity to create Idaho’s first distillery focused on premium whiskey and vodka production, the operation runs out of a converted industrial building that’s been transformed into a sleek tasting room and production facility. You’ll find them making bourbon, rye whiskey, and vodka using Idaho-grown grains and Snake River aquifer water. The founders came from diverse backgrounds—one from the tech industry and another from hospitality—but shared a passion for craft spirits and saw Twin Falls as an untapped market for quality distilling. They spent two years perfecting their recipes and navigating Idaho’s liquor laws before opening their doors. The team includes a master distiller who trained in Kentucky and brings traditional bourbon-making techniques to Idaho’s high-altitude environment, which affects aging in interesting ways. Visitors get an intimate look at small-batch production in a space that feels more like a craft brewery than a traditional distillery. The tasting room showcases their spirits alongside cocktails that highlight local ingredients, and the whole operation maintains that startup energy of people who are genuinely excited about what they’re creating. It’s not trying to be Maker’s Mark—it’s carving out its own identity in Idaho’s growing craft spirits scene.
