I visited to pick up an order of their Madam whiskey. The worker who answered the phone was nice - I called to make sure I found the place (the sign isn't very large) and they were helpful. Once inside the service I received to purchase my bottles was on point. I thoroughly enjoy the whiskey - the blend is smooth and it doesn't taste very complex which is fine. It's pleasant to sip and versatile enough to enjoy in a cocktail.

The gold…read morerum and allspice dram are standouts, plus they have the best coconut rum I have ever tasted. It is less sweet than something like Malibu but has a strong, smooth coconut flavor. It is truly a marvel. The distillery does a great job at providing a great on-site bar experience, too. It is dim for a nice mood, always has a great playlist, and their cocktail list is always changing and always interesting. It is winter time, which means it's coquito time. La Famosa makes the world's best coquito, and it showcases C&R's rum nicely. If you want to keep it simpler, their rum old fashioned is delicious, too. They do not sell beer or wine, just rum, but with rum this good, who cares. They make a bunch of interesting, small batch rums throughout the year, and they work very well in cocktails, you will find something you like no matter what you like. They have been rocking at this spot for over nine years, now, so that really tells you something about their quality. They have earned a spot in the DC pantheon.

We loved the redbeard - it was refreshing and light, something I could drink by the pool all summer.

Overall good selection and we enjoyed all drinks we tried.

The inside is simple, with the occasional nod to ships at sea, which is easy to do if you have lots of barrels for aging spirits. There is a little bar where they make great cocktails rather quickly. They have spirit-forward as well as citrusy. Never had one I didn't like. The spirits (as of this writing, still available at some local liquor shops) are fantastic. My absolute favorite is the Lady Anne white rum. Some white rums are barely better than rbbing alcohol, but this has character and depth and makes a fantastic mojito. RIP Lost Ark!

There is a retail area as well. They sell different varieties of their delicious concoctions. The menu is on a TV and there are so many options to pick from. A flight of 4 tastings is $8 and gives you the opportunity to try out the different types of alcohol. The Carmel cream was very good. The South of Manhattan and Muddy Waters were fantastic cocktails. We were greeted upon entering and Erik was very friendly. We sat at the bar. He was filling lots of orders (people come to the bar and order, then sit in the rum lounge area) and was still very attentive and welcoming. They do tours and sampling. Check their socials for more information. They also have an extensive list of entertainment.

This was conveniently located, so we decided to drop by. It's a huge space and not that many people were here, so we easily just grabbed a table. Turned out it was also trivia night. We did not officially play, but there was only one person competing, so we kinda helped out. The vibe here is akin to converted warehouse. But with spots for IG photo ops and such. We made it during happy hour, so I tried the lychee lush. Very sweet and kinda weak. Not really my thing. I did get the matcha drink next and asked if they could make it extra stiff. It was much better. Fun place to chill. And my friend liked their alcohol so much, he bought the two bottles listed above. REVIEW #3893

We'll have to come back and try this place again on a night where they aren't swamped... We tried…read moreOversea on "R&B Night" and it was an epic fail. When we arrived, there were only a few people there and we were able to get a drink order in right away and they brought it to our table fairly quickly. But then the crown arrived and there were lines 10 people deep just to get an order in. Food (which we didn't order) was a nightmare; there were people's orders behind the bar for over 30 minutes just getting cold because they were too busy to figure out where the people were and no one was coming up to check on their orders. I waited in line for over half an hour just to close my tab. I'd recommend paying with each order... The drinks were not bad - the spirits (which are not made there) are decent, but are primarily mixers. They do sell bottles, but I didn't get any (granted I am a whiskey snob...). The music was WAY too loud and the DJ was just awful - he had zero personality whatsoever. My adult kids were the ones who wanted to bail, not us! Hope the next time is better...

They offer a tasting of all 17, which my friends and I shared - so fun. That way we were able to figure out which were our favorites and order a cockatil made that with liqueur. It's a large space, with several bar and seating areas. They also have a menu of cocktails and some simple food items if you need a snack while you're there. It's a classic distillery bar space (industrial, concrete, no windows) but has a lot of style and was very comfortable. The service was great, and it was a very experience overall.

This local distillery has a bar/tasting area which, of course, features the results of their special alchemy. I'd purchased their apple brandy at a farmer's market; put some into an apple cobbler that I baked, and, wowie, did that cobbler zing! So, decided to check out Sangfroid's retail space to taste some of their other products--I wasn't disappointed. Their liquors are lovingly made and rich; can taste the difference immediately. Had a White Russian, made with Sangfroid's coffee liquor that uses coffee from nearby Vigilante's, a local coffee house/roaster. It's delicious and bold. Jeff Bridges would love this White Russian (movie hint: What "The Dude" drinks in The Big Lebowski). Also tried a Hot Cider, made with their pear bandy--yummy. Walked out with a bottle of their Old Dutch Style Gin and some of their maple syrup. The maple syrup is a partnership with a maple syrup producer from Vermont. Sangfroid ages it in rye barrels. Marketed as "Strong Syrup", it's top-notch stuff. Open 3 days a week, I've encouraged them to increase the hours!

The class is about 1 hour long and you make 2 cocktails that feature their drinks. The staff is super welcoming and excited to help you learn. They are very knowledgeable and helpful. Everything that is used as a mixer or addition to the drink is made in house. Super tasty. We made a tea based drink and then another one (see photos). Both were good. It was nice to have every single detail thought out and ready. The room where you are taking the class is very comfortable and has terrific views. We sat out on their lawn that is waterfront when we were done. Super nice area. They do have a bar that is on the premises as well. There was an outdoor bar, but it wasn't open when we were there (beginning of May). This would be a super fun place to come for lunch or just to hang out on the grassy area and watch the scenery. Parking could be an issue and you will have to pay. Keep that in mind for time management. Overall, a super fun thing to do. Highly recommend.

They have bourbons, whiskeys, pre mixed cocktails, and even gin. They are all very affordable with prices starting at 29.99. The best park was Paul's presentation. The hour timeframe for the tasting seemed to fly by. We definitely enjoyed it. I found a voucher on Groupon which got me in the door.
