The new distillery will feature an expansive tasting room and
production area. The 5,000 square-foot building will also be
available for booking events and receptions.
Tenth Ward is on schedule to open in the spring of 2016 at 508
E. Church St. In the late 19th century the area was known as
Frederick’s Tenth Ward and served as the inspiration for the
company’s name. In this part of the industrial area of Frederick, there’s a strong tradition of hard work and grit that the
owners hope to carry through their products and the distillery as they begin construction on the space.
Tenth Ward’s founders have started Frederick’s distillery network group, are members of the Maryland Distillers Guild
and are excited to be one of Frederick city’s first distilleries
in decades.
“A vibrant craft distilling industry brings skilled jobs, visitors
and an enhanced focus on locally produced products,” said Kevin Atticks, executive director of the Maryland Distillers Guild.
Tenth Ward’s equipment is being built by Anthony Zaca of
Washington state. The two custom-made stills will forge unique
small batch spirits, including some limited-edition products.
The distillery will feature a tasting room and tours and special events will be available for adventurous tasters.
McClintock Distilling and Tenth Ward Distilling will join other Maryland distilleries including Lyon Distilling, Blackwater
Distilling and the Baltimore Distilling Company, as some of
the first distilleries in the state since prohibition ended.
