We definitely love to learn about local artisans and it was a bonus to have a lovely cocktail after seeing the distillery. Our tour guide, Mikey, was awesome and so easy going. We were the only ones on the tour so he made a special trip and took us to an overlook of Skagway. It was a beautiful day with beautiful views!
