Baltimore Spirits Company
Be the master blender for the day! Blend your own bottle of Epoch Maryland Rye, Baltimore's first Maryland Rye to be produced in the city since the 1970s. In this unforgettable experience, your tour and blending experience will take between 1.5 and 2 hours. The highlight of the afternoon will be to taste and evaluate four of our barrel-finished Maryland Rye whiskeys, and then to create your own custom blended bottle of the spirits. Epoch Rye won Double-Gold Medals at both the 2018 and 2020 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. We take care of you from the time you walk in the door to ensure your perfect date, afternoon with friends, or a great gift for a whiskey fan. In addition to creating your own custom blend of our award-winning Pot-Distilled Maryland Rye, attendees also receive: • One delicious welcome cocktail • A compelling history lesson of Maryland Rye (15 minutes) • An up-close and personal distillery tour of our production facility and 650+ barrel rickhouse.
