Blackwater Distilling & Tavern

Finally open! Beautiful space with lots of Md beers, and a full range of cocktails made with Blackwater spirits, of course. BBQ food truck outside. Check it out!

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.

Spontaneous weekend trip to Kent Island led to a stop at Blackwater. Got there just as the previous tour was wrapping up and Rocky took great care of us. Excellent tour and you can't beat a $5 tasting! Left with the dark rum, solera rum, and coffee liqueur. Will definitely be back and can't wait to check out the tavern!

Ran into this distillery at a farmers market, nicest wrap I’ve ever met! Bought a bottle of the Picaroon and am hooked. Awesome company with great taste!

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.
