In the spirited heart of Martinsburg, Black Draft Farm & Distillery leads the pack, distilling not just spirits, but traditions. As the first grain-to-glass craft distillery in the area since Prohibition, they've turned a passion for quality into handcrafted Straight Bourbon, American Vodka, Rye Whiskey, and Artisanal Moonshine that customers enjoy sipping straight or mixed. Their story begins in 2014, born from an empty barn and the legacy of a beloved family Black Draft horse, embodying the true spirit of American ingenuity.
