Personal attention and so tasty! We had the pleasure of meeting John last week. He was very accommodating, opening the place just for our group of 5 to come taste. He is so knowledgeable and easy going, educating us on the distilling process while weaving interesting stories about his family and how he ended up in the business. He even gave our group a ride back into town and our condo.

We tasted the barrel aged rum, the bourbon and the rye. It was a unanimous decision as we ended up taking 3 bottles of rye home to enjoy!

If you find yourself in Mammoth, stop by, enjoy the hospitality and take home some delicious spirits!

I live in Mammoth over the winter and only was made aware of this place recently. I prefer to drink my whisky neat. Loved the Rye. Impressed how smooth it was at 55% alcohol. I am not a rum drinker, but after tasting it, had to bring a bottle of each home. Also very fair pricing, great atmosphere, and the family owners were great hosts. I'll be visiting regularly for sure.

Absolutely amazing bourbon and rye (and rum!) but also an incredibly informative and fascinating chat with the owners in the tasting room. Completely worth the trip and time.

Devil's Creek Distillery Fantastic place. Terrific whiskies and the people are just the nicest, most friendly and communicative. Our visit to Devil's Creek was one of the highlights of our trip. I thought we'd end up staying the entire day, we had so much fun!!

A must visit after skiing. Limited hours so check before you go. In an industrial park, but don't let that discourage you. The tasting was delicious and affordable. No purchase pressure at all. This is a family run business. Great people, and very knowledgeable. They are creating an outstanding product! Did I mention we bought 4 bottles?

The tasting room was cozy and we felt very welcomed. The owner of the distillery gave us a tasting and a tour. He explained how they make the whiskey so well. Will come back for sure just to buy more whiskey.

Highly recommend a pitstop to Devil's Creek Distillery in Mammoth. Went here on the advice of a friend and had an incredible time. This small, 'off the tourist path' tasting room is family run by John Mendel, his wife Luan and their son (can't remember his name now). Tremendously hospitable and insanely knowledgable too. As we sampled the very tasty Devils Creek bourbon and rum samples, and looked in on the distillation process in the adjoining room, we learned about the history of the Mammoth area and got a comprehensive education in whiskey/bourbon/rum making. We even wrote them afterwards and said we wanted a few more bottles to take back as gifts, and John came to our cabin...on Christmas Eve no less...and delivered them to us. Highly recommend.

A True Mammoth Gem I absolutely loved everything about Devil’s Creek Distillery. The family is incredible - right down to Bailey the dog. Learned so much about spirits from mom, Luanne. Everything was delicious. Had to bring a bottle home. Can’t wait to go back next year! Highly recommend!

Devils Creek distillery is a must stop for bourbon lovers!!!! We were up in Mammoth for ski week (Feb 18-23) with 2 other families. We were looking through the local mammoth newspaper and read about Devils Creek! The distillery wasn't open on Thursdays for tastings, but I emailed John, the owner, and asked if he'd be able to open & do a tasting for the 5 of us while our boys were boarding on the mountain! John replied immediately and said he'd be happy to open for us, just give him a time to be there. Awesome!!!

We took the local purple bus to what we thought was pretty close to the distillery and ended up walking about a mile on the trail through the park and of course it was snowing..... When we arrived John welcomed us in from the cold into his cozy tasting room. What a great tasting room! It felt so warm & welcoming especially after we had just walked in the snow!!!!

Once we had all our snow gear off, John took us into his distilling room (not sure if that's the correct name) and told us all about his distillery. He was so patient with us answering ALL of our questions. After seeing where the liquid gold is made, we went and sat down for the greatly anticipated tasting. We were not disappointed! We started with the Rum, then the Bourbon & then, the fabulous Rye! We spent a couple hours tasting and chatting with John. John even offered to give us a ride back to our condo, so we wouldn't have to walk back up hill in the snow to the bus station!!!

What a highlight of our trip!
We will definitely return when we go back up the mountain!
Thank you John!

Spirits of an Angel in Devils Creek I had the pleasure of joining friends for an intimate tasting hosted by John on a frosty afternoon during our President's Day ski week. John provided a tour of the whole operation. His passion for the craft and extensive knowledge shined. We settled in to taste their rum, bourbon, and rye whiskey. The rum was very nice with just the right heat. I also enjoyed the bourbon, but the Rye was the winner. We each took a bottle home and the Rye Manhattans flowed that evening back at the cabin. I highly recommend seeking Devil's Creek out if you're a fan of aged spirits and are looking for something to warm you up after a day on the slopes.
