Cutler's Artisan Spirits

We had a lovely evening at Culter’s! Heather our bartender was knowledgeable about the menu and knew all about the history behind the spirits. Best espresso martini i’ve ever tasted, hands down! Super festive and delicious drinks. We’ll for sure be back! They also have heaters ?.

Friendly staff. Good mixed drinks. Great gin and cold brew. The Apple is good but sweet and smooth so be careful, like apple juice with a hidden bite.

Great booze. I accidentally left my jacket there. Silly me. I called to see if they had it. Had to call 2x to get a response. Our waitress that day was more interested in chatting to her friends. I had to go inside and find her to bring us water after she served us a flight. I should have known from her in inattentiveness that my jkt would not be located. Ian cutler called me after 2 calls to tell me they didn't find it. It is nice when people care and sux big time when they don't

You have to go to the patio for the cocktails. The flight was wonderful and delightful a must to do.

I knew about Cutler's vodka years ago. But I stopped drinking vodka a year ago. It started to taste like lighter fluid. Odd, after three plus decades drinking it. At a Santa Barbara Maritime Museum function, I saw a bottle of Cutler's whiskey (the regular one, not the 33) and asked the bartender to make a Manhattan with it. It was too sweet (I don't like that much vermouth) so I just started drinking it on the rocks. Outstanding! Then a few weeks later, at La Paloma, I asked the bartender what gins they serve. The usual : Bombay Sapphire (yuck), Tanqueray (not T10, also yuck), Henrdicks (snooze). He suggested Cutlers and proceeded to make one of the best martinis I've had in SB. So I went to buy a bottle in the Funk Zone. A Dodge Ram hit me after I bought the bottle to take home, but that's not Cutler's fault Note: It is very difficult to find. Yes, next to the Lark but the numbering of the suites isn't consecutive. I didn't realize dyslexia applied to numbers as well. Took me awhile to find the tiny space where you can buy bottles next to the patio where they serve cocktails. Great people, great company, great spirits. At $40, it's more than Tanqueray 10 for a 750 mL but well worth it. If you love gin, you must try. Cutler's ships within CA but not beyond. The t-shirts on the website are adorable, too. Sexy longish v-necks. Read up on the history of the Cutler family's distillery. And support local!
