Round Turn Distilling

Aubrey’s Last Day 🥺

Come wish her well and congratulate her on her PhD acceptance — doors open at 4:00

We 💙 you, Aubrey

Happy distilling day!!! 🥳🥳🥳

We’re making the OG today!! Darren’s hands look like this so yours can … well … hold martinis or whatever you kids are drinking these days with our gin 🤪

Our distilling process starts early in the morning and runs for almost 14 hrs. Before we had two stills to run in tandem, Darren would have to distill one day, clean and refill the still the day after, then distill the second batch of botanicals the following day. That’s why we pay him the big bucks 🤑🤩

Each bucket of distillate is blended together into a tank, where it will later rest for 6 weeks before being proofed and bottled 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

✨Aubrey Appreciation Post✨

Aubrey has been with us, here at Round Turn, for a little over 2 years now. You’ve come to know her as our Tuesday night bartender. You may also know her for her community tide pooling, Turning Tides Ocean Education LLC in Biddeford!

Aubrey was recently accepted into a PhD program. She has been working so hard to achieve this for quite some time and we are so incredibly proud of her. That being said, Aubrey will be stepping away from our bar to take the time to focus on furthering her education.

Tuesday, September 29th will be her last shift with us. You may still see her pop by, jump in to give us hands last minute or out and about in the community. In the meantime, come out this Tuesday to wish her well and congratulate her on her major accomplishment of being accepted as a PhD student.

We love you so much, Aubrey! We can’t wait to see what you do and where this next level of education takes you 🤍

Can we get a heck yeaaa for 🥥Coconut Negronis🥥

As we approach the end of September, this little interim Bramble will be parting ways with us as we make way for something a bit more nostalgic and comforting😌🥰

Long live the Purgatory Bramble!!!™️ Made for those times as we transition through the seasons and I don’t know what the heck I’m doing 🤠🤠🤠

❤️Blackberry, Raspberry, Cardamom Amaro❤️

⚡️POW⚡️ Important PSA comin’ atcha!!

As of last night, we have sold our last in-house retail bottle of Barrel Reserve Gin! 🤯🤯 For those that don’t know, T & Darren make the BR1 *once* a year. Our gin needs to time to rest 😴 at over 170 proof in our bourbon, brandy and rum barrels that we acquire every summer. As we not-so-patiently wait for the gin to be pulled sometime in October, we still have a handful of bottles set aside behind the bar 😮‍💨😩

Whether you’re itching for that Bee’s Knees or, my personal favorite, a BR1 and Fever Tree Mediterranean G&T, now is the time to get it! For those in need of any retail bottles, we encourage you to seek it out at Market Basket, RSVP or Bow St. Beverage 🤩

In the meantime, stay tuned on an announcement for the BR1 release in October!🍁🧡

🌱✨PRESTO✨🌱 … just like magic

Bimini Overproof, Genepy, Basil-Lime Cordial, Basil Oil

Basically, our house gimlet and your nonni’s pesto loved each other very very much, came together and had a baby! 🥹👉👈

As we approach the end of September and ease into the cooler weather, we’ll be letting go of our current menu. Not much time left to enjoy and savor one helluva** seasonal menu 😋😋😋

** Helluva Good Dip, please don’t come at me

🌲NORTH WOODS LAW🌲

Every June, our team has the opportunity to pick fresh spruce tips to incorporate into this fan favorite, a Maine riff on a Last Word. Our original gin is working overtime with Luxardo Maraschino, lime and the spruce tips that we’ve blended down 😵‍💫😵‍💫

Rose is on tonight. Try it OG or try it her way, with Coco Lopez for a more summery, creamy take! 🥥🌴

THIS WEEKEND! Our School Supply Drive is accepting donations to support York County’s Head Start Program! 🎉🥳📚✏️

We’ve whipped up (literally) a few coffee based drinks with 🩷Time & Tide’s🩷 cold brew concentrate! Specials are up for the weekend to help with those back to school jitters 😬😬☕️

Swing by for a beverage or just pop through to make a donation! Many thanks to Time & Tide’s support and so much love and appreciation for the Head Start Program!

🌴 The Saturn 🌴

I don’t know about y’all, but this weather is giving me whiplash. With those warm, tropical breezes (more like gusts that almost launched me clean off the sidewalk) of wind today, I was, naturally, feeling a tropical beverage 💁‍♀️💁‍♀️

Our Saturn is, traditionally, being done with our Bimini Gin OG … but we just bottled the Coconut, so you deserve to treat yourself and fatten up that drink. Accompanying our gin, we’re using passion fruit, orgeat, falernum tincture and lemon juice 🍹💦🥵

‼️A reminder, we will be collecting school supply donations for York County’s Head Start program all weekend. Be sure to check our pinned post to see what is in need to help them have a successful school year!
