Upcoming Events

C’mon in!

At Empty Barrel Distillery, we set out to create more than a place to enjoy handcrafted spirits; we set out to craft an experience. The restoration of two historic Main Street buildings makes the tasting room a cozy space to enjoy good friends, good company, and small-batch spirits. This is the Empty Barrel experience, and we’re honored to share it with you!
