Louthan Distilling sits on Harford Road in Baltimore’s Hamilton neighborhood, founded by Ron Louthan in 2018. This craft operation focuses on small-batch bourbon and rye whiskey production in a converted industrial space that maintains its working-class Baltimore character. Louthan brought decades of experience in the spirits industry before launching his own distillery, focusing on grain-forward recipes and traditional production methods. The operation runs a 500-gallon copper still and emphasizes local grain sourcing when possible. The facility combines production space with a tasting room that showcases their growing portfolio of aged spirits. You’ll find this is very much a working distillery first, visitor destination second, which gives it an authentic feel that’s hard to fake.
