Description

Specialties

Black Squirrel is a craft farm distillery. We ferment maple and distill it to make the most delicious craft spirit ever.

History

Established in 2013.

Our first bottle of craft spirit distilled from maple sugar was sold in February 2015, the culmination of years of R&D to make a spirit lost in the woods between bourbon and rum, in a class of its own.

This review is about a month late, but had a great experience when I visited Black Squirrel. It’s located a little bit off the main drag of Elmwood and if you blink you may miss it driving by. The inside was small but well done with a cool custom front bar.
The guy working was extremely knowledgable and helpful as we were not familiar with the maple syrup process and what they’re making is different than the other distilleries that have opened the past couple of years in Buffalo.
Tried the mapleshine and the aged rum spirit. Unique taste to both but very good and both had a bite in their pure form. The highlight were the mixed drinks that were made with homemade simple syrups — this cut the bite a little and brought out the maple flavor. Bought some bottles and hoping to see Black Squirrel at more events and bars.
