Fairbanks Distilling Company
Housed in the former 1930s city hall, this family-staffed distillery is a labor of love for owner Patrick Levy. He provides tours by appointment; downstairs, the whiskey ages in a former Fairbanks Police Department holding cell. Visit any night and you'll likely find him behind the hand-built copper bar, radiating Fairbanks pride while pouring drinks made from local Fox Spring water and locally grown potatoes. Try the award-winning E.T. Barnette's Tanana River Naval Strength Golden Rum, made with a touch of birch tree syrup that gives it a dark-amber color, or Kate's Showgirl Gin, crafted with Alaskan juniper.
