LYON RUM // Windon Distilling Company

We visited after the St Michael’s running festival with our running club. We started in the tasting room/shop. The server was very knowledgeable as she was letting us sample the different flavors of rum. We then went into the speakeasy like space to have cocktails. The drinks were amazing. The service was exceptional. The owner interacted with all of the customers and even made us a delicious espresso martini that wasn’t on the menu. Definitely go! You will have a hard time deciding which bottles to bring home with you. We left with three.

The Golden Hour Rum Room is the perfect venue for events! Jaime Windon, distiller extraordinaire has created a magical spot! 5 stars!!!!! Check out the special events scheduled.

My first time visiting St. Michael's and of course Wyndon distillery. We were greeted by Sara. Funny, energetic, our own personal Rum expert and bartender. Not only did she introduce us to all the Amazing rum flavors, but gave us an introduction to Wyndon's history, a verbal tour of the town with her own favorite spots. The highlights of St. Michael's. An expert bartender, as was I a long time ago. We had a blast talking about our favorite drinks. She was an absolute treasure for this distillery. Then on to the bar at the distillery. Brand New Bar, just opened and you need a Golden ticket to enter.Right away you got a shore town mixed with a bohemian vibe. Beautiful bar with a comfy bench full of pillows. High top tables, unique decor. Jamie the owner and top notch bartender in her own right entertained us on her adventures around the world, her love of St. MICHAEL'S, her love of rum and her passion of the business and all the people. This is the must see and experience place in St. Michael's.

We did a private tasting in the Golden Hour rum room which was fantastic. The space had a sleek, relaxed, speakeasy vibe that made the whole experience feel special. The owner herself led the tasting, and she was both knowledgeable and super entertaining. We got to try nearly a dozen rum samples, each with its own unique flavor, and learned a lot along the way. If you’re a rum lover—or just looking for a fun and laid-back tasting experience—this is definitely worth it. Highly recommend!

Had their dark rum, blackberry rum, and rock and rum offerings. All of them are super good either straight or in a simple cocktail, especially the blackberry rum! Plus, excellent customer service.

Last stop on our anniversary trip and it was great to see them still here. I first came soon after they first opened some years ago and was great to be back. Their limited run Black Rum is just so good. Keep up the good work y'all. I'll be back!

I don't want to give a bad review by any means. I don't drink alcohol much but I tried a mojito fresh mint and lime etc. For my birthday june my husband bought me pretty big bottle of Lyons White rum. I was so excited to make it, but the taste was so different and I didn't understand why. I researched finally tonight. My husband asked the liquor store where he purchased Lyons in frederick and they suggested this one. The problem is that I'm seeing after researching. Is for a drink like mojito you want a cane juice or Agricole (if I'm spelling correctly) white win that is crisp and light and compliments lime and mint. I'm not saying Lyons is not good. I just am sad that the person who suggested Lyons for the only drink I wanted to make and I grew the mint for it, well it has been produced with more of an intense molasses flavor and that is the exact flavor I get and it does not pair well with flavors of the mojito. I have such a big bottle and I wish I could gift this and you possibly could tell me if you make a white rum with cane juice instead of molasses? I would love to finally sit and enjoy a good mojito maybe for labor day instead. Thank you. To bad the people who own or work at the spirits or liquor stores didn't know more about their liquor to be able to recommend better. Now that I am aware I know what to ask for for sure. Thank you
Not sure how far away from frederick your distillery is but I work with adults with disabilities and we all enjoy tours of our locally owned businesses. We recently toured peurto Rico distillery here in Frederick and women owned as well. If your under 50 min away we would love to make a tour with your distillery if possible.

Great experience! Detailed explanation on all the offerings. Will be back.

After visiting St. Michael's winery (7/11), I was told to walk next door to LYON Rum distillery-woman owned! I did just that! The atmosphere was very inviting and fun. I can't remember the name of the person at the counter, but she was very friendly and knowledgeable about the distillery and products. The owner walked in, introduced herself, and provided additional information. I sampled some of the rums and purchased the Coconut rum and Blackberry (I think)...either way they were both amazing. I really enjoyed my time at LYON...and look forward to staying in touch through their email newsletter.

These rums are high quality and fairly priced for what you’re getting. Unlike other rums that use flavoring extracts for their flavored rums, this distillery uses real fruit. You can taste the difference. Using real fruit is NOT cheap but despite that, their rums are cheaper than some other fake-flavored bottles you’d find in the store.

We always pick up a bottle of the pineapple rum when in St. Michaels. This place is seriously underrated and I’d suggest giving them a try.

Great place to visit with excellent customer service and a rum for everyone. Visited the shop after seeing their sampler package at a hotel. Very fun experience, the shop smells amazing, very good mix of branded goods and spirits. Sara, was very personable and knowledgeable. She provided several recommendations and recipes based on my palette. This business is definitely worth a visit.

The Lyon Rum shop is a fun visit all by itself, and any bottle of rum you get there will surely be special on your shelf. It's a must visit & buy if you are in or passing through St. Michaels.

My wife and i were at your distillery today and we were met by Sara with a huge smile as we walked in.Sara was VERY informative about your company.

What a charming little place. The staff was incredibly friendly, and the rum was fantastic.
