Great local place for spirits. Great tasting and products for a newer distillery. It’s a must see.
I took my parents and my wife for a tour and tasting. Arthur and Brian were very generous with their time and knowledge on the distilling process. A really nice diversion just a little bit north of the University of Maryland.
A friendly craft distillery in the DC Metro area. Knowledgeable owner & master distiller gave me a great tour. I left with much more knowledge about the creation of Rye Whiskey & Gin. Two Thumbs to Arthur & Brian. My favorite was Rye Whiskey on a Rum Barrel - Cobalt.

Shmidt Spirits is a hidden gem with attentive and hospitable staff. The cocktails are inventive and unique, not just your typical mix. The distillery offers a great selection of spirits, with Cobalt and Bourbon being popular choices. Visitors can enjoy a tour and tasting guided by passionate staff members, where they can learn about the liquor-making process and extensive tastings.
Customers describe the location as surprising at first, being at the back of a random alley, but appreciate the proximity to public transportation. The small space is a labor of love by the co-owners, who are fun, knowledgeable, and passionate about making good liquor. Customers enjoyed the custom cocktails, finding the hibiscus gin and cocktails made with the rye, rum, and Maryland-style whiskies particularly interesting. The owners' enthusiasm and willingness to discuss their work contribute to a great overall experience for whiskey enthusiasts and cocktail lovers.
