New Liberty

Philadelphia


Occupying the carriage house and old stables for an early-20th-century plumbing manufacturing company, New Liberty specializes in making rye whiskey, rum and vodka. In their tasting room you can sample all their tipples straight or in cocktails. A flight of three spirits is $10

Tours of the distillery, which include tastings, are held a couple of times a day on Saturday and Sunday, usually after 1pm.
