It's been a whole year since we opened the doors to Chesapeake & Maine ... can you believe it?!

On Friday, March 10, we're celebrating with an exquisite three-course menu paired with our new - and experimental - single malt whiskies! The whiskey is made in-house, completely from scratch, just like our vodka, gin and other spirits. Still in production and maturation, this is your chance to be the first to taste these hand-selected whiskies, ahead of the official release!

Each course will commence with a tasting neat, followed by a chef-inspired dish paired with a whiskey cocktail. Graham Hamblett, Head Distiller, will be on hand, visiting tables and explaining the nuances between each whiskey.

Along with the dinner, the Dogfish Inn is getting in on the fun too! Book a Friday (3/10) and Saturday (3/11) night stay with us at the inn, and you'll receive two (yes TWO) complimentary Whiskey Dinners! 

It's the perfect time of year to come visit coastal Delaware, and what better reason than for a Whiskey Weekend! 

To book your stay, please call one of our INNmates at 302-644-8292. Special rate is $179 per night and you must book two nights to get the free dinner passes.

Whiskies will include unaged and barrel-aged versions of:  Dogfish Head Single Malt, made with a grain bill of 100% pale malt, resulting in a whiskey with subtle honey almond sweetness, and mild dark fruit undertones, and Dogfish Head 4 Grain Single Malt, made with a combination of pale, Applewood smoked, kiln coffee and crystal malts, resulting in a whiskey of dark roasted grain, complimented by dried fruit with a slight undertones of coffee & smoke.
