Song Dog Farm Distillery

Attended their Grand Opening and had a good time. Great turnout of folks. They were providing tastings that included their Rye, Vodka, Gin, and Bourbon. They also sold cocktails. A drink called “Chamomile Bee’s Knees” seemed to be popular among many – described on the menu as having Chamomile-Infused Gin, Lemon and Honey. I tried the Hibiscus Highball. It had Rye, Hibiscus, Lime, Amaro #1 and Soda. I don’t think I have ever had Rye before, so I took a tiny taste of theirs, to get that flavor first before ordering the drink. I inquired about the drink and was informed it was tart, not sweet. It was rather smooth and only slightly tart, but what surprised me was that as I got near the bottom of the glass, my drink suddenly changed to a sweet taste albeit slight, but it was a welcome surprise that I really enjoyed. In addition to offering tastings and selling cocktails, they also had a food truck on the grounds since they don’t sell food. They have lots of space in the back for those wanting to hold an event, so check it out. I was able to attend a tour of their distillery, and I learned some things along the way, like how everything there is kosher, and how each batch will be unique and a tiny bit different. Seating was indoors at the bar, including a few tables and chairs. Outdoors, in front, there were high tables, low tables and a few comfy couch-like seats. Overall, the owners seemed passionate about their business. I will certainly visit it again.

The vibe is luxurious and fun. First and foremost, you must enjoy the whiskey tasting. The cocktails are amazing too. Our kids ordered and love lemonade there was a fabulous

5 stars for universal design of testing room with wheelchair accessible section of bar. Staff were knowledgeable and friendly. Drinks and atmosphere great on a gorgeous sunny afternoon. Outdoor space that’s kid and dog friendly. Best old fashioned I’ve had in a while. We left with bottles to enjoy at home. Can’t wait to return with friends.

The cocktails/spirits were delicious (old fashion and bees knees pictured) and the staff was very friendly and informative. I thoroughly enjoyed learning about the distillery's history and the production process from Brenna, she is amazing! The atmosphere is also very lovely! Cheers!!

Fantastic new place for tastes, cocktails, distillery tour and relaxing with family and friends! The drinks are well made. I particularly enjoyed the bees knees. Everyone at my table loved their drinks. Staff is friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable. The tour was very informative! The owners are extremely welcoming and very passionate about this project that has taken time to get off the ground... (Thanks COVID) Definitely will be back and highly recommend you check them out!

Such a great new distillery that’s kid-friendly and dog-friendly! The tasting room is gorgeous. They also have a ton of outdoor seating with heat lamps on their patio. Definitely get the espresso martini, old fashioned, and blueberry lemonade cocktails. They also sell snack platters with delicious cheese from a local farm, and there’s also a food truck on site. And they do free guided-tours of the distillery so you can learn all about the spirit-making process. Highly recommend this place!

Lovely cocktails and great atmosphere! There are so many wineries and breweries in the area it's nice to have an outdoor space that serves cocktails instead!! The outdoor space is beautiful and so is their tasting room. Definitely have a tour and learn about their process.

Nice place, but they charge $10 for a “tour” of their small distillery, and $5 to taste any of their alcohol, the drinks are a bit pricey too. I feel like they hold themselves at a higher rank than they are. Brand new business, should be humble. Not overcharging $5 to taste their unproven liquor within the same month that they open. At least give free tours when you first open. Kind of a weird thing to charge for.

Song Dog Farm Distillery is Montgomery County's brand-new destination distillery. It's set on 29 scenic acres of the Agricultural Reserve. This stunning distillery includes a tasting room and cocktail bar perfect for sipping, relaxing, and connecting. Huge thanks to owner and conservation ecologist Megan Draheim and the entire team for the private tour and warm hospitality during our hosted @dmvdoes visit. The sustainably built distillery produces bourbon, rye, gin, vodka, liqueurs, and ready-to-pour cocktails right on-site. We sampled their Straight Bourbon Whiskey, Straight Rye Whiskey and Gin. We enjoyed the Song Dog Old Fashioned, Rock N' Rye, Chamomile Bee's Knees, and a refreshing Blueberry Lemonade. We also grabbed sliders, fries, and tots from DMV slider which was the featured food truck on site. This family- and dog-friendly space features indoor and outdoor bars, rotating food trucks, live music, and plenty of room for over 100 guests to gather and unwind. I really enjoyed spending my time there. I can't wait to come back.

This review has taken me so long to write because there was a lot I enjoyed about Song Dog. Megan and her husband are the owners of this grain to glass distillery that opened two weeks ago in Boyds, MD. Where's Boyds you ask? It's on the south side of Little Seneca Lake and west of Germantown. They take pride in using all Maryland products to create their four different spirits: vodka, bourbon, gin, and rye whiskey. They also offer seasonal cocktails and all come in gorgeous keepsake bottles with beautiful artwork. Every aspect was carefully chosen to display their spirits. I first sampled their Rock & Rye which is a bottled cocktail that has history back so far that when it was explained to me I instantly remembered my mom telling stories of her mom using it as cough syrup back in th day. I knew I was going home with a bottle before trying anything else. My group was treated to a tour and Megan who owns the farm with her husband provided a lot of detail about their process from the beginning with crop selection through the end with different types of aging in muti levels of char. We met their pot still named Carl who is gorgeous and shiny before we toured the barrel room which stores some barrels from when they first started in 2020. Inside their tasting room you're able to sample, purchase, and order their spirits in bottles, merch, or cocktail form. I chose the amaro spirit, since your girl loves a good amaro, and it was the perfect sip for a cool October evening outside. Fun Fact: I learned that all gin has to made with juniper berries! I had no idea. I've always shyed away from gin after hearing crazy hangover stories fun friends. The bottle is stunning and when I smelled it **** I could not believe all of the floral notes it contained. I was extremely excited to try it and couldn't stop myself from smelling it over and over. Only trusting Song Dog's gin. Do you see how gorgeous it looks at night?! The ambiance was everything you'd want in a distillery. If you're doggie's well behaved, they can come too. They have different food trucks each week and when we were there, DM Sliders provided food for the crowd who have a perm location on Sugar Loaf. I'll leave that review on their page. Overall, Song Dog Farm Distillery has a lot to offer and is a great spot to enjoy a fall day.

I had a great time at their Grand Opening. It's a chill spot with plenty of parking (in the grass mostly). They sell cocktails and bottles of their liquor. The bottles they had were Vodka, Gin, Rye, Bourbon, Rock & Rye, and Coffee Liqueur. Their cocktails included: Song Dog Old Fashioned Rock N' Rye Penicillin Chamomile Bee's Knees Espresso Martini Hibiscus Highball Amazon Spritz I enjoyed the Hibiscus Highball - slightly tart, but a smooth drink. Some folks next to me said they enjoyed their Old Fashioned and the Bee's Knees. I'll have to try the Chamomile Bee's Knees on my next visit, as I kept overhearing many people ordering it that day. Great turnout of folks. Next time I am in the vicinity, I'll probably pass through Song Dong. Enjoyed a tour of their place.

So excited to have this new farm distillery close by! We stopped in during their opening weekend and had a great time sampling their spirits (the person doing the tasting was so helpful) and enjoyed some delicious cocktails (in particular the rye old fashioned). I loved that they are dog friendly and tasting room is really nice with a beautiful cocktail bar and plenty of outdoor seating! Pretty sure we are on our way to becoming regulars!

I'm a whiskey person so i'll speak mostly to those. Initial batches were contract distilled by Sagamore Spirits. Their bourbon is a primarily bloody butcher red corn mash bill aged for about 5 years. Their rye is a 90/10 mash bill at about the same age. Many craft distillery whiskies have a distinct funkiness due to various factors like age and process but Song Dog's whiskey did not. I expect some change to the flavor as they start to blend in their own distillate and eventually go fully with their own distillate (hopefully for the better). The property was gorgeous and for the grand opening they premade all the cocktails so I was not able to make any adjustments but I will be back once they get into their groove.

If you're familiar with Windridge Vineyards, it's a few minutes from there. I was pleasantly surprised with their spirits I tried. They were very smooth! Imagine gin, vodka, bourbon (and more) that don't make you make a face when you drink them neat. No additives as well. This distillery is where agriculture and distillation intersect. Grains used in their products are grown on their own farm and nearby farms. They will also have cocktails that alcohol free (mocktails). Along with the light bites they will have, there will be revolving food trucks on their property. Tasting room is beautiful and modern. Everyone was very nice there and I especially love the bartender Alex, he was amazing and nice to chat with.

Super friendly staff! I did all 6 tasting (whiskey, bourbon, gin, vodka, Café liquor and old fashioned mix) everything was great and they pour you generous samples , did tour very cool place! Bought a bottle old fashioned mix so I just need to add ice and enjoy at home! We also got Bee's Knees cocktail to drink at the bar, beautiful inside and outside seating only one thing I wish their cocktail drinks a little bigger size !

The ascetics of this building is beautiful! Recently opened so new facilities and new drink menu. Tastings and tours are available but we did not participate. They also had a food truck on site that serves sliders and tacos. Pets are welcome.

Great atmosphere, and great cocktails along with very friendly staff. Will be visiting the establishment again.

What a fun fall day at this distillery. I spoke with Dave one of the owners a few days ago just to get information that we couldn't find on the website, he was so helpful and professional. The building still has that "new" feel but was very cozy and accommodating. The ambiance was relaxing, even the other patrons were great to talk to. Flat entry great for ADA access. Dog friendly establishment. Beautiful building with seats and tables on the outside patio as well as on the grass. There are a few heated lamps on the patio which seem to heat very well. Our group did the tour and John was our tour guide. With his extensive professional background, he answered all of our questions with ease. The staff was very friendly and professional; Seth, Matt, Patrick and the others were ready to assist. I did not get everyone's name but the service was impeccable. Even with a busy crowd, both inside and out, they serviced with a smile. We had the sample tasting for $15.00, which also included $10.00 off of whatever bottle of spirit we purchased. The unique design of the bottles is very beautiful. I am not much of a bourbon drinker but the diversity of the flavors was great. I ordered the blueberry lemonade with vodka; it was excellent. Between our group we ordered a variety of drinks from the menu and no one was disappointed. We did not purchase any food from the food truck, but the people at the next table seemed to really enjoy the food and it smelled delicious. We were able to bring in our own food. All in all we had a wonderful time at Song Dog and can't wait to visit again.

I was part of a group that toured the distillery, followed by a tasting of several of their products. This is a new facility in the Montgomery Coutnty Agricultural Reserve and, based on my experience, headed for a bright future. The tour guide, David, is one of the owners and his passion for his vocation is evident in the way he lovingly described every physical and mechanical aspect of the distillery. I've toured many of the distilleries in Kentucky and the Jack Daniel distillery in Tennessee and, although Song Dog is much smaller, the processes are much the same. There is a pot still that is quite impressive and the equipment is largely custom made. As for the tastings, the bourbon compares quite favorably with those in its price range, the gin is a good botanical, a coffee liquor was very good, as was the rock and rye. I did not try the rye. The bottling and labeling are exquisite, far superior to most, making any of their products impressive gifts. The setting is bucolic with ample seating. You can bring your own food, too. Support a local business and make Song Dog a place to spend a pleasant day with your family (pets included) and "responsibly" consuming some good alcoholic beverages.

Local bourbon and pricey for cocktails drinks. This place should not allow children and dogs.
