Second City Distillery — Local services in Augusta

We enjoyed the atmosphere and the selection. This place was well put together. I didn't realize when we entered that it is a sister store to the one in Edgefield. Glad to see business is good enough for the expansion.

The parking could use an upgrade as there were tons of potholes and rough on a car. However, that is on the city and not them.

My wife did a Whiskey/Bourbon sampler which was good. However, I ordered a drink and the bartender wasn't paying attention as she made my drink (A bourbon honey drink). Anyway, while making my cocktail she poured Bourbon all over her hand as her jigger overflowed and then it filtered down to my drink. She then, most likely w/o thinking, shook off her hand and what remained went into my drink as well. I admit that I am particular but it rather grossed me out.

Jay and I had the privilege of taking a tour this past Saturday of 2nd City's distillery hosted by founder, David Long. David is as down to earth as they come, and I applaud him on the way he's grown his business.

The atmosphere of the tasting room is very comfortable, yet classy. I highly recommend 2nd City for anyone looking for something unique to do in Augusta. Special thanks goes out to Commissioner Sean Frantom for helping David make 2nd City at reality. Jay and I...
