Mammoth Distilling Cocktail Lounge - Petoskey, Michigan

I wanted to LOVE this place. And for the most part, I did, except for one critical detail -- I didn't find the bourbon to be that great. Don't get me wrong, I've never found a bourbon that I didn't enjoy; there may be no such thing. But, as is the case for most craft distilleries popping up and beginning to offer their goods, the flavors seemed immature. I don't mean this to seem too critical, but having to go to the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs to find when Mammoth Distillery started (2013, it seems), is a shrewd way to mask the relative age in the category, covering the newness with a brilliantly designed logo and business identity.

That being said, the location in Bay Harbor is a treat. The building is very well designed and decorated, and the staff on-hand were very friendly. I really like Mammoth's artwork - I can't say that enough. I think the bottle designs were beautiful. And their online presence is very, very nice. Like my first comment, I really wanted to love this place. Having been to my fair share of micro or craft distilleries, I really hope the best for Mammoth, perhaps more than any other in the category. I will plan on visiting again, and purchasing your products. I hope that, over time, Mammoth will continue to establish their brand (again, I really like it), and the business financials will support the ongoing development of their products.

If you're trying to decide if you should visit or purchase some Mammoth spirits, you should.

Such a wonderful find! Smooth drinks, with great flavor on their own or mixed. Great service and a relaxing atmosphere.

Excellent, fun atmosphere! Love it. If you like spice try the La Picante drink! (Old Fashion in foreground, La Picante in the back)

Excellent service. They were very friendly and helpful. Reasonably priced tasting flight. We really enjoyed the rye and the gin. I should note, I generally don't like rye, however even Mammoth's younger rye was excellent. For a new distillery, the bourbon was not bad, better than expected.

They even gave us a couple samples. The XO Jamaican Rum was quite unique and worth a try.

There is outdoor seating with propane heaters.

Bathroom is clean.

Worth a stop and would highly suggest the tasting flight.

Stopped by on a Thursday afternoon. There was no one in the place besides the wonderful host behind the bar. We did some tasting. The hostess was very knowledgeable in everything they had to offer. She was very friendly and helpful. I look forward to visiting again soon.

Excellent atmosphere, our Bartender was friendly and quick to pour our cocktails. Very efficient! I'm also partial to MD as their Gin is exceptional. Although bayside property, the barfront is actually between the two hotel buildings. I thought it'd feel claustrophobic however I felt like I was on the streets of San Francisco. Highly recommend, do not leave Petoskey/Bay Harbor without stopping here (assuming if you're reading this you enjoy the alcoholic beverages)

Was just visiting Petoskey area and ended up here because why not. Really really inviting vibe, with a very minimalistic decor. Ended up buying a bottle as the tastes speak for themselves.
Would recommend this to anyone who likes some good drinks and vibes.

We stopped by while in Michigan for vacation. Great tastings and wonderful drinks. Harper was a wonderful help and really knew her stuff. I would highly recommend checking this place out.
