Maryland has such a rich and deep history when it comes to distilling whiskey, specifically rye whiskey. Along with this history, Maryland is known for producing some of the best raw grain in the United States.

Grain quality in conjunction with good water is the foundation in producing a flavorful, well-crafted, quality mash. Our cask strength whiskeys are all produced with 100% Maryland grain and Checkerspot Distilling has expertly curated, combined, and distilled this grain into the most artfully crafted whiskey to come out of the state of Maryland.

Here at Checkerspot Distilling, our main focus is whiskey, nothing else. We want to perfect the art of carefully distilled, expertly crafted, artfully blended, and thoroughly aged grain-to-glass, small batch whiskey. Our mission is to give every customer a one of a kind whiskey sipping experience.

Whiskey drinking should be more than just drinking a flavorful, well-aged spirit from a glass. An artfully crafted and expertly aged whiskey becomes an emotional experience. When a consumer takes a sip of our whiskey, we want an emotional reaction that keeps them coming back for another sip.
