Nestled in the countryside with mountain ridge views, their spot (near Vernon/Hardyston) offers an expanded space to enjoy their award-winning craft spirits. Leashed, friendly pups are welcome to step inside while you order, then join you on the outdoor patio where live music and food trucks often roll in. The staff is dog-loving (a surprise pup cup might even appear!), so your four-legged friend can share in the fun. From vodka, classic or flavored, to bourbon, agave spirits, and more, you can sample a tasting flight or savor a handmade cocktail. The spacious patio, complete with shade sails, comfy seating, and sweeping views, makes the perfect setting to relax with a drink in hand.

Claremont Distillery is such a great new addition to Sussex County! The place is gorgeous;…read moreeverything feels fresh, clean, and thoughtfully put together. Cameron and JP were behind the bar shaking up some seriously good cocktails, and Matt, the manager, kept everything running like clockwork. He even took the time to give us a tour, which we loved!! You can really see the passion that goes into what they're doing here. I ordered a rum daiquiri made with their Tilted Dog Dark Rum and... wow. Easily the best I've ever had - smooth, rich, and just the right amount of sweetness. They've also got a really nice patio out back that's perfect for hanging out, and it looks like they've got events lined up every week. If you're in the area, you've got to stop in and support them. We'll definitely be back!

Dismal Harmony Distillery is an absolute gem in Morristown. From the moment you walk in, the 1930s…read morespeakeasy vibe sets the perfect mood. While the aesthetic has a hipster edge to it, let's be clear: this is not a place where you get a cheap bucket of beer served by a pretentious, disinterested bartender. It is a haven for people who truly appreciate exceptional spirits. They distill incredibly high-quality, rare spirits right on-site, and the innovation and quality show in every glass. It is obvious that an immense amount of thought, care, and consideration goes into the flavor profiles of both their unique creations and their brilliant takes on classics. The drinks are pricey, but it's worth it for the premium experience. Their rum old fashioned is a personal favorite -- a truly innovative take on a timeless cocktail. For those who abstain from alcoholic beverages -- they do have a handful of tasty mocktails available. What elevates the experience even further is the exceptional service behind the rail. Instead of the indifferent attitude you get at some trendy spots, the team here is welcoming and highly engaged. They take the time to ask about your flavor preferences to recommend the perfect drink. The space can get quite loud and high-energy -- especially when multiple lively groups or bachelorette parties are overlapping -- so be prepared for the cacophony. Even so, for phenomenal cocktails and incredible service, this place is unmatched! If you want a masterfully crafted drink in an unforgettable, high-energy setting, this is the spot. We will definitely be back! PRO TIP #1: New Jersey's draconian liquor laws prohibit microbreweries or distilleries from serving food, so bring your own snacks or order via your favorite delivery app. PRO TIP #2: Dismal Harmony does not have a private parking lot, but there is plenty of paid on-street parking on Morris Street. Bring change or use the ParkMobile app for the meters ($1 per hour) Monday through Saturday from 8am til 6PM; all street meters are free Monday through Saturday after 6pm and all day on Sunday. If you can't find a spot on the street, paid parking is also available in the Morristown Parking Authority Lot #10 (12 Wilmot Street).

There is a small parking lot down the driveway behind the building, and a spillover lot is available across the street during open hours.

Extras: - All alcohol is made at the distillery. - Distillery tours are available by appointment. - SCD has some hilarious Tee Shirts for sale. - 2 Restrooms on the premises. - Adjoining Ghost Hawk Brewery shares a small parking lot with SCD.

The very friendly Taylor was more than helpful and made various suggestions as to what to try. She made the Smoked Old Fashioned with ease (see my videos!) and my friends said they were excellent. You also get to keep the glasses they come in which have engraving on them. I went with the try six and they had seven to try so I gave up the gin. Tried a vodka, rum, two whiskey, and two honey liquors. Half ounce pours each. Realized I'm just not a whiskey guy but one was super smooth. I did like the honey ones, though. After my set of six, I ended up getting a vodka mixed drink and also got a four-pack of of a vodka canned cocktail which is new for them this year, and they decided to go non-carbonated. I would have preferred it to be carbonated but you can just add seltzer. The place seats a couple dozen and they are included on a lot of bus/trolley tours (a lot of bridesmaids parties) so at times it can get loud and busy. If you are under the influence you will not be served. They have t-shirts, hoodies, glassware, and even sell some pieces of the barrels so you can make your own smoked drinks. I ended up spending about $50 for my tasting flight, cocktail, and a t-shirt. I wished they were allowed to sell some small bite foods. It would make this place even better. I forgot to use my Yelp check-in for a discount!

I decided to do their tour on a Saturday with a group of friends and I'm so glad we did! This place is definitely one of Newark's hidden gems! The distillery takes walk-ins but I would 100% recommend doing a pre-booked tour. Prior to your visit, buy your tour ticket on their website or Groupon. The ticket comes with a drink, a tour of the facility, tastings, and a souvenir! The owner Gil, is knowledgeable & so welcoming! He gave us an informative tour and allowed us to taste a few of his great products. If I had to choose two favorites I would go with the Malt & Grain Pot Still Whiskey and the Cathouse Pink Pepper Gin. The whiskey, gin, and vodka are all so smooth. You really can't go wrong with any choice! The bartender was amazing & gave us great conversation along with recommendations for drinks! This place is BYOF (bring your own food) so feel free to order a pizza or a light dinner from somewhere nearby! This was an awesome experience & I will definitely be back!
