Baltimore Spirits Company — Local services in Baltimore

I LOVE Baltimore Spirits Company. Their spirits are interesting and delicious.

If you’re a mezcal fan, they the fumus. Distilled from apples, it’s smokey and complex, perfect for sipping or mixing in a cocktail.

They specialize in Maryland Rye whiskey and do it beautifully. The Epoch is amazing, and if you want a real treat, try a Post Epoch—Epoch that spends more time resting in different barrels with fantastic effects.

I just did their whiskey blending tour and it was educational, interesting, and a lot of fun. In addition to a tour of the distillery, we were able to taste 4 versions of the Epoch ryes and then decide how we would like to blend them.

Because I obviously can’t stop singing their praises, I have to add, if you haven’t visited their new cocktail lounge/tasting room, you must! It’s beautiful and the folks there, including the wonderful Whitney, are the best.

I believe Nick was the bartender, and both Greg and Nick were fantastic. My partner, who enjoys whiskey, loved the tasting and couldn’t wait to bring home his personal blends.

As someone who is a visual learner and not very familiar with different grains in their natural form, I think incorporating visual aids could enhance the experience. For example, showing how BSC receives the rye and what it looks like after it’s ground would be helpful. Greg kindly managed to scrape up some particles to show us, but having a small bowl of grains for guests to see and touch could add an engaging and interactive element...

We loved our experience here! The first half of the experience consisted of a complimentary whiskey and ginger beer cocktail as people arrived, a history lesson on whiskey and the establishment, and a very detailed and knowledgeable tour of where and how they make their whiskey. Upon return to the tasting room, we had four tastings of 100 proof whiskey waiting for us, along with a little label to indicate what blend of the whiskeys we wanted to create our own custom-made 375ml bottle. The event coordinators went around to each table as we went through our tastings to answer any questions. The whiskeys were great, and we stayed for about 2 hours total. Would definitely say it’s worth the price, and we would recommend...
