TARNISHED TRUTH DISTILLING COMPANY The Historic Cavalier Hotel’s Tarnished Truth Distilling Company is the country’s first craft distillery to be located inside a hotel. The small-batch distillery’s dynamic portfolio includes their signature Old Cavalier Bourbon, Tarnished Truth High Rye Straight Bourbon Whiskey, Tarnished Truth Bourbon Mash Moonshine, Fourth Handle Coastal American Gin, Old Cavalier Bourbon Cream and AVA Vodka, all of which can be enjoyed in the Hunt Room and Becca Restaurant & Garden — or by taking a bottle home with you. Tarnished Truth also offers private and hourly tours, flight tastings and a private room for dinners, cocktail classes and special occasions. WATERMAN SPIRITS At Waterman Spirits, it’s all about pride. Pride in the ingredients in its vodka and pride in the distilling process — all to ensure that owner-operator Mariah Standing can be proud of what she shares with friends, family and guests. The small-batch distillery and tasting room on Atlantic Avenue uses 100% certified organic corn — grown without pesticides, fertilizers or harmful chemicals. So, better tasting for you and better for the environment. Another step toward cleaner, brighter-tasting beverages is using coral-based filtration, which Standing says gives the vodka a smoother taste. In addition to its organic vodka, Waterman produces Waterman Spirits Organic Orange vodka, Organic Grapefruit vodka, The Perfect Crush and others to enjoy in your favorite cocktails.
