There was something for everyone in our family at Blackwater Distilling. Guests and employees were super friendly. It was a nice laid back atmosphere. Drink choices were fun as well as the merch section.
Manny gave an informative and enthusiastic tour of the small distillery Maryland's oldest, established in 2008. We saw their single copper still where they make vodka, rum and whisky with top quality ingredients. The vodka was extremely smooth and the whiskies aged in wine, sherry and port casks were delightful. But our favorites are their rums from cane sugar aged in wine and bourbon barrels. Tasty! The current facility is at one end of a simple industrial building. They are moving in a coupe of months to a new place where they will have their distillery and dedicated tasting room and outdoor area. We're looking forward to seeing the new place.
We had a great visit to this little distillery. It's in a nondescript location but the experience was enjoyable. They have a nice selection of products and the host had a great personality. Schedule a visit, you won't be disappointed.
The grand opening and Chesapeake Bay Education Center fundraiser was a blast! Great drinks, food, music. Lots of fun with a great purpose! Clarified Rum Punch is one amazing cocktail. See picture.
Local distillery with several variations of craft whiskeys, rums and vodkas. Finishing Barrel Series of whiskeys are aged in port and sherry casks. Flavored vodkas and runs, even a port barrel aged vodka. Also serves local craft microbrew beers. Food delivery is available. Bottles are available for purchase on site or in local liquor stores.
Great service and good atmosphere. House vodka rum and whiskey were great, beer variety was a little limited.
We always pass this place but never stopped. This time we made a concerted effort to stop and check it out. We thought the boat dealer just advertised it but it's actually part of the complex. The place is new and trendy-ish but nothing to write home about. The tasting flight is cheap and they give generous pours, but the rums and vodkas all taste identical to the cheap versions sold anywhere and the whiskey tasted like it wasn't aged at all. The only decent one was the coffee rum which had a smoother flavor. I saw other patrons with food orders and to-go containers but no menu was offered to us. The bartender, though nice and knowledgeable about the liquors distilled there, was more concerned with chatting up the regulars and locals than checking on us. We left after only taking a sip or two of the liquors in front of us and polishing off 2 Cokes to help wash down the liquor we drank even though the aftertaste lingered for the rest of the afternoon. It's obviously a hit with the locals and we wish them great success, but we won't be returning.
Went to the tour and ended at the tavern and wow. This is an amazing place local business for the win. Their alcohol is amazing my favorite is the honey vodka and their piccaron dark rum, amazing flavors and smooth as anything. Highly suggest this place for a date as they often have food trucks and games to play while you drink!
We did a tour and tasting here this afternoon. The tour was very informative. We were able to taste four vodkas, whiskey, and about five different rums. Highly recommend. Blackwater has brought the distillery back to life in Maryland. Looking forward to visiting their new tavern location soon.
Got to stop off with some rescue kittens. Nice break for both of us. Loved the orange crush.
