    I've been to the Baltimore Spirits Company a few times, most recently this past Sunday for one their "Blend Your Own Whiskey Tour Experience" (more on that below). Baltimore Spirits Company is a distillery (they produce rye whiskey, gins, apple brandies, apple brandy liqueur, amaros, and more), and they have a great tasting room (they call it a cocktail gallery) where you can enjoy cocktails made from their spirits (as well as pick up bottles) at Union Collective. It's a large space, so you can definitely come with a group. It's also fun to do a crawl (wine at the Wine Collective, cocktails at Baltimore Spirits Company, and beer at Union Craft). The space is great, the cocktails are fun, and the service is good! A fun tasting room to spend a few hours at with friends or family! The "Blend Your Own Whiskey Tour Experience" was great. It's an hour and a half (but we hovered for a table at a while after it ended) and starts with a tour of the distillery and an explanation about Maryland Rye (which I knew nothing about). Then we went back to the tasting room where we had a tasting of four of their rye whiskeys, which we then blended using a pipette, until we each determined our preferred blend (I went 50/50, but others I was with did a more complicated blend - anything in increments of 5% works)! And then we went home with a bottle of our blends. And not a tiny bottle, either. Greg, who was our guide during our experience, was great - answered a ton of questions, was really friendly and helpful. At about $60 per person, I think it was a great deal - a fun experience, I learned a lot, and left with a whole bottle of my blend! Fun local distillery - definitely worth a visit for shopping for bottles, drinking some cocktails, or a distillery visit or experience!

    My wife and I stop in every couple of months or so to pick up a bottle or two for home. A pleasant crew is always there to chat and take care of business. We usually visit on a late or early Wednesday afternoon; however, this time we drove down on a Sunday. The cocktail room is large and airy with plenty of tables and a modest bar...a very relaxing environment.

    I came here for a drag show and enjoyed every second of my experience. The bartenders were very sweet. I also loved the atmosphere, the chairs and lighting were so cute. My only gripe is that the drink menu included a drink that supposedly tasted just like cherry coke, but that was a bit misleading. Other than that, I throughly enjoyed my experience! I will definitely come back to this hidden gem.

    Definitely an experience, you wants to book their whiskey tasting. You get a live personal tour on how a whiskey is made in the history of their company. You also get to pick and make your own whiskey. Such a great experience for whiskey lovers. Parking is also available on site. Customer service is also great everyone that works. There is very friendly and informative on everything.

    Stopped her for a drink after yoga it was open we saw bottles we walked in. The bartender was amazing. I opted for the apple flight which was only $8 for small tastes of different apple spirits .... The bartender was kind enough to mix the two I didn't like straight so I didn't waste the likka lol Nice tasting room they also do tours that come with a welcome cocktail ... good to know in the future.

    Purchased two tickets for the Whiskey Tour, Tasting, & Make-Your-Own Experience for my husband & myself- Overall, the experience was a great date night- allowed to bring own food, we got to the spot early to enjoy our dinner in the ambiance of the art gallery the tour was very informative; starting with a welcome cocktail (bartender's choice) to sip while we heard the deep history of MD Rye, then moving to a history/tour of the distillery-learning about the entire process of whiskey creation, then ending with a variety finishing tasting board (4 4oz pours) complete with a pipet and empty glass intended for us to play around with creating and balancing our own whiskey. after the experience, the bartender was super friendly, hanging around to answer additional questions about whiskey & offer some tastings of their bottled to-go options (noting after the tour anything would be 10% off including to-go or additional cocktails) variety included gin, brandy, apple brandy liquors, whiskeys, bitters, & specialty alcoholic mixers while all the experience was delightful, the taste profiles of their offerings weren't really appealing to us- a lot of the cocktails had overly sweet mixers- the liquors, bitters, and specialties were overly sweet, and we weren't super impressed with the whiskey palate compared to our go-tos I would suggest-when touring/learning about the distillery in the cold months, maybe just do a tour then go back to the warm area to give the long speech- ~30mins in the cold wasn't as fun, but I did really appreciate the in-depth discussion would suggest for a one-time specialty date night, but I wouldn't go there for regular cocktails- especially with Union's good beer nearby- just a personal flavor choice.

    This was my Mother's Day gift to myself and Im so glad I did it--Such an informative whiskey tasting and blend session! Greg led us through the history of rye whiskey in Maryland and he's definitely someone who loves what he does. The welcome drink was strong, the setup for the blend was perfectly designed where nothing was left behind. Each of us had the time to really enjoy each whiskey while also having fun. After the tour, we had full run of the bar where we could sample different types not featured on the tour. Definitely coming back again with friends!

    This like my cheers a fancy cheers but a cheers nonetheless. I come here too often to not have given this place its just due. 1. I love that this is in the Hampden area behind all the good restaurants 2. I love that this is next to a great winery and even better ice cream 3. The drinks are always creative and well made with local spirits distilled in house 4. They have whiskey blending classes, tours, and special occasion parties where you get to try some of their older bottles! I think my homegirl Raven T said it best. If they had food I really would never leave but BSC does think about everyone and when they put on a thing they will cover you with food. I love that Chuck's Trading Post is a pretty constant option right outside the door when they are having a Luau! BSC is such a nice space with great drinks you should go!

    What a fun afternoon! I got my hubby a tour and custom blend visit as a Xmas gift and we finally got around to going. First let me say it was super easy to reschedule which I had to do. Second it was no big deal for me to just tag along. We walked in and were immediately offered a welcome cup of punch. Super tasty and fresh. And packed a (wait for it) punch. We then got a tour of the distillery space. Then it's back to the bar to build your custom bottle of rye. I'm not a whiskey girl but my husband nerded out and enjoyed the whole process. I killed time with a glass of their slushee of the month. Fresh, ginger and lemony, mint. So so good. The staff was amazing and we had a Smaltimore moment. Definitely need to go back! Can't be the location either with all the other businesses in that building.

    The disservice that I've done to the Yelp community by not writing this review sooner is nearly unspeakable (insert guttural cries). This is my absolute favorite place in Baltimore! If they had food, I'd never leave! I've been a fan since 28th St and their single still. You know when they were Baltimore Whiskey Co but didn't sell whiskey yet. Yep, I was there at the beginning! You literally cannot go wrong. The spirits are creative yet true to Maryland's distilling history. They're bold but easily translate to cocktails. The drinks are imaginative and the staff is knowledgeable. You can tell the distillers love their work and inspire their employees to do the same. The whiskey blending classes are great and you'll likely get something different every time. On special occasions (like they're 7th anniversary party), they bust out the older bottles. You can taste and no doubt LOVE something you'll never be able to have again! Its the best! lol

    Such a special place at the union collective in Hampden. They make an awesome gin, and I've been told it's been a distillery for quite a while with a redo. I've been here for a pop up in the past with NiHao and most recently for the holiday market. I love getting bottles of their Szechuan amaro for gifts. They had quite a bit of rum bottles for the holidays. We sat at the bar for drinks - the eggnog was a bit too thick so I cut it with ice and the samples of Apple brandy was nice but very strong! It's a small bar. One main bar and tables. Not much in terms of a vibe but a lovely distillery and supporting local!

    Kentucky Bourbon and Maryland Rye are the only two American alcohols defined and regulated by government. For Maryland Rye the Baltimore Spirits company is the oldest selling alcohol for over 6 years. Unique to the Baltimore Spirits company is a gin made with whisky, the 4 bitters they make (1,2,3,4)- Szechuan, chamomile and two others. They also make apple based mezcal and apple brandy. No food. Mixed drinks served at 5 pm. Distillery tours Wednesday and weekends. Great place!!!

    I popped in to this establishment while I was visiting Union for their anniversary party. When I'd had enough beer, I ambled down the Collective until I found Baltimore Spirits. While the outside of the building is fairly unimpressive, the inside of this venue is super cute! It's a big space, with a nice bar to the right, and a bunch of tables and chairs scattered about. I didn't place an order at the bar, a friend ordered the non-alcoholic beverage for me, but I am sure service was great. What I can say is the non-alcoholic beverage was a delight and I relished every drop! My group did not stay long but I enjoyed the space and the ambiance. Will definitely return.

    Can I purchase Gift Certificates? What is the cost per person for a tour and tasting? I want to give them as Birthday and Christmas gifts.

    Gift certs...I do not know....but probably yes. Tour and a bottle, around $50. BTW: great gift idea.

If making your own liquor doesn't draw you in then the taco bar, welcome drink, endless samples of liquor, and an all-around great time will do it. Arkadi, the owner is an amazing host and keeps the class lively. You kick off the class putting some food from the taco bar on your stomach, which you will definitely need, and make your first cocktail of the day. From there you get going with the distilling process, which is a pretty neat process to learn about. You don't realize how much science goes into making the spirits we all love to consume. And I love the little old timey distilling machines each person uses to make their liquor of choice. Once the liquor starts dripping you head downstairs for a little tour and barrel sampling. And then back upstairs to finish off your custom flavored bottled and some trivia. The trivia is a win, win because even with wrong answers you still win with samples of various flavored liquors. My family and I were the only ones attending for the day, so it was a very intimate class that we all thoroughly enjoyed. This class is a must try for anyone that loves a good bottle of bourbon/gin/vodka, and you can even say that you made it yourself.
