LYON RUM Distillery is a micro distillery located in Saint Michaels, Maryland, steps from the Chesapeake Bay. Founded in 2012, the distillery launched with a signature line of rums paying tribute to the rich, spirited traditions of the Eastern Shore. Hand-crafted from start to finish, LYON RUM begins as intentionally-sourced raw ingredients, and are hand-crafted – mashed, fermented, and double-distilled in small pot stills – every step of the way, resulting in a superior and unique final product. The goal is to create distinct spirits – working to define the category of new American rum. The distillery is also home to Gray Wolf Craft Spirits, a boutique operation offering grain-to-glass spirits.

The barista was very knowledgeable and "walked" us through the various selections offered by Lyon's Distellery. We had fun tasting the many varieties, and purchased several.

So much fun! We went to Dragon Distillery for the first time this past weekend. The distillery hosted an AMAZING Valentine’s Day event complete with ax throwing, delicious drinks (try the Dark Knight and the Hot Buttered Rum!), an appetizer and a really cool alcohol infusion experience (can’t wait to see how they turn out!). The staff was super friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. I also want to give extra points for being extremely Covid compliant. My husband and I both mentioned multiple times throughout the event how safe we felt indoors due to the team’s hard work and diligence. Highly recommend and will definitely be back!

My wife and I stopped by Old Line while visiting Baltimore from Maine. One of the owners, Mark, gave us a very fun and informative tour. We stayed quite a while at their bar afterward to sample their whiskey and rum drinks, all of which were great. The bartender couldn't have been any nicer. The Naval Aviation themed distillery and bar made this retired Navy pilot feel like I was right at home. We can't wait to go back.
