Split Rock Distilling - Newcastle

He made an impromptu stop and had an enjoyable and insightful experience. The staff is friendly, and they offer a wide selection of spirits.

A standout gem on the way to Camden! As soon as we walked in, we were warmly welcomed by Quinn, who offered us tastings of their wide range of spirits and syrups. They produce vodka, gin, whisky, and an assortment of flavored simple syrups. If you're a fan of Chai tea, you must try the cardamom clove syrup—it’s delightful! I also enjoyed the maple syrup, hot lime ginger, and blueberry varieties. These syrups are incredibly versatile; they're perfect not just for cocktails but also for cooking—think lime-glazed chicken wings or drizzling blueberry syrup over ice. They even provide recipes for the larger bottles! Quinn was an exceptional host, filled with knowledge about the products. This was genuinely one of the best retail experiences I’ve ever had.

The staff was friendly and stayed late to provide plenty of samples. He was very knowledgeable about the menu. We'll definitely be returning with friends!

Got a bottle, #331 for a present. I usually like Bombay Saphire. This gin was hugely herbal and way more flavorful than I like. I was thankful for the gift and to try this gin, but would NEVER buy a bottle and had to dilute the gin I had been given to save it from the trash.

Cute tasting room to try all the different liquor they have available. Delicious gins and whiskey. High quality vodka perfect cocktails. They said rum and 4year whiskey to come next year. And they sell many many flavors or simple syrups for cocktails, sparkling drinks, and snow cones!! A must stop if you're traveling along route 1.
