Starting at noon, the McClintock team will share the history of Maryland distilling legends—like the Beam family and Basil Hayden—and explain how they are revitalizing that heritage in Frederick today. The session includes a guided whiskey tasting and a look at McClintock’s production process and philosophies.

We will finish with a pairing: a side-by-side tasting of the Vanilla Threads Jr. next to the McClintock rye whiskey that was aged in the same wood!

Interested in the barrels? We have eight of these empty 30-gallon casks available for $50 each after the event!

Unlike the standard 53-gallon whiskey barrels—which are heavy and often look extremely weathered—these 30-gallon barrels are compact, clean, and rinsed. They are the perfect size for home decor or a DIY project!
