About Belle of Dayton Distillery
Belle of Dayton Distillery is a craft spirits distillery on Van Buren Street in Dayton. Brothers Murphy and Mike LaSelle run it, and its website says they set out to make small-batch spirits the old-fashioned way. A cocktail bar called the Van Buren Room sits inside the distillery.
The spirits come from a hand-built 350 gallon copper pot still. The lineup includes vodka, gin, bourbon, rye whiskey and a spiced rum. Its website says the bourbon ages in hand-toasted white oak casks.
The Van Buren Room pours classic cocktails made with the distillery's own spirits. It also lists rare and experimental releases, plus local beer in cans and bottles. Seating is first come, first served.
Distillery tours run on the first Thursday of every month. Its website describes the tour as a behind-the-scenes look at the distilling process.
