Accepted Answer

The Bellefonte Distillery and Tasting Room opened in July 2014; The Seven Fields Tasting room opened in October 2020, and the Sewickley location opened in November of 2022. We expect the Distillery at South Shore to open at the end of 2023.

Question 2

How do I book a tour?

Accepted Answer

We offer tours of our Bellefonte distillery every Saturday at 1pm, but tours must be booked at least 48 hours in advance. Book your tour below.

Question 3

Can I get a Jack & Coke?

Accepted Answer

Because we have a micro-distiller’s license, we can only sell the alcohol we produce, so no, we cannot serve Jack Daniels. However, we have an excellent bourbon-style American whiskey that makes great cocktails!

Question 4

Do you ever book private events?

Accepted Answer

Private events can be held in each of our tasting room locations, although each has different space and available. Please reach out to the manager of the tasting room of your desired location.

Question 5

How do I get a Central Tasting Trail passport?

Accepted Answer

You can purchase one in our Bellefonte tasting room, on our website store, or at the Central PA Tasting Trail’s website.

Question 6

Is your patio dog friendly?

Accepted Answer

Both our Seven Fields and Bellefonte locations have outside seating areas that allow dogs.

Question 7

Do you ship bottles out of state?

Accepted Answer

Because we have a micro-distiller’s license, we are not allowed to ship out of Pennsylvania. We do, however, ship for free inside PA.

Question 8

Do you sell cocktails to go?

Accepted Answer

We do! You can buy them several different ways. You can buy a one liter bottle of our ready to drink cocktails; you can buy made-to-order cocktails, served in either a plastic, lidded, sealed plastic cup, or a 7 oz capped glass bottle. In Bellefonte we also sell variety 4-packs you can mix and match.

Question 9

I see your whiskey bottles all say “straight” on them…what does that mean?

Accepted Answer

A whiskey can be labeled “straight” if it is distilled from a fermented cereal grain mash to a concentration not exceeding 80% alcohol by volume (abv) and aged in new charred oak barrels for at least two years at a concentration not exceeding 62.5% at the start of the aging process. At this point, all of our whiskeys are straight except for the Firebird Whiskey, which is minimally exposed to oak for just a few weeks.

Question 10

What cocktails do you sell that are ready to drink in 1-liter bottles?

Accepted Answer

We have a wide variety of ready-to-drop cocktails in 1-liter bottles. Visit our shop page or click the button below to see what is currently available.

Question 11

Are any of your spirits gluten-free?

Accepted Answer

According to the FDA, anything that is distilled is gluten-free, as the distillation process has stripped away any gluten—as long as no gluten-containing ingredients are added after distillation (some flavorings contain gluten). If you are concerned about this certification, we recommend that you only consume those spirits that did not derive from gluten-containing grains: our Vodka and Gins are made from corn and so are gluten-free; the White Rum is made from molasses and so is gluten-free; Firebird Cinnamon Whiskey and our Straight Corn Whiskey are also gluten-free.

Question 12

Do you sell beer to go?

Accepted Answer

While we do serve beer in all of our tasting rooms, our license does not permit us to sell beer to go.

Question 13

What’s the difference between the Seven Governors’ Gin and the Golden Gin?

Accepted Answer

Our Golden Gin is exposed to oak for several weeks, making it drink more like a whiskey than our Seven Governor’s Gin, which is a London Dry-style gin.

Question 14

If I am lactose intolerant, can I have the cream bourbon?

Accepted Answer

The cream bourbon is made with a stabilized cream product.

Question 15

Do you host weekly Trivia?

Accepted Answer

Question 16

What is History Pub?
