Black Shire Distillery Tasting Room — Local services in Hermann

Has a cool vibe but in reality was kinda lackluster - including the drinks. We got a blackberry lemonade and a hot toddy. The hot toddy was subpar (and in a cheap foam cup) and the lemonade was just - normal and poured from a premade container. There was nothing special about these drinks.
