  • Summary

  • On this episode of Whiskey Rocks, Joel and Chris head (virtually) to Hagerstown, Maryland to hang out with Cort Meinelschmidt, the man behind Meinelschmidt Distillery. Nestled in the heart of Western Maryland, Cort’s distillery is bringing bold character and local pride to every barrel—and we’re here for it.


    We talk shop about what it takes to build a distillery from the ground up in a small town, the unique flavor profile of Maryland-style whiskey, and why keeping things local—grain, team, and community—is at the core of everything Meinelschmidt does. Cort shares the story behind the distillery’s roots, what sets his spirits apart, and the soundtrack that’s playing in the background of his whiskey journey.


    Tune in for great pours, good vibes, and a conversation that proves small towns can produce some big-time whiskey.
