Join the Excitement: Unveiling of Runways Vodka and Rum!
On Wednesday, October 29th at 5 PM, an exciting event awaits at The Grille at Runways, located at the Rider Jet Center in Hagerstown, Maryland. This gathering will mark the official introduction of two new private label spirits: Runways Vodka and Runways Rum, crafted with precision and passion by the Church Street Distilling Company.
Ben Rider, CEO of Rider Jet Center and the owner of The Grille at Runways, expressed his enthusiasm for these unique offerings, stating, "We are very pleased to unveil two very special spirits." The introduction of these drinks follows the successful launch of Runways Rye and Runways Gin earlier this year, showing the restaurant's commitment to providing distinctive experiences for its guests.
The event promises to be a festive celebration featuring special cocktails that highlight the new spirits. Attendees will have the opportunity to sample a refreshing "Pear Spritz" made with Runways Vodka and a delightful "Admiralty Apple Pie" crafted with Runways Navy Rum. Heather Hiser, the restaurant manager, emphasized the significance of the season for enjoying these carefully curated cocktails, saying, "This fall is perfect for our newly created cocktails!"
Moreover, a special giveaway awaits those who attend the unveiling, making the event even more enticing. Guests will also have the chance to purchase both Runways Vodka and Runways Rum at special prices during the event. Due to the restaurant's tavern license, bottles can be sold and taken home, allowing customers to enjoy the unique flavors at their leisure.
Jake Blackmon, Chief Operating Officer and co-owner of Church Street Distilling Company, expressed his excitement regarding the new spirits, stating, "The secret formulas were a joy to make, and we think that it's the very best Vodka and Rum!" The Runways Rum, described as a "Gunpowder Proof" Navy Rum, adheres to traditional Navy standards, offering a unique flavor profile that stands out among others.
Head Distiller Ashley Munro, who will be present at the event, will share insights into the creation process of these spirits, explaining the intricate details that contribute to their special character. Munro noted that Runways Vodka is made from 100% organic Italian wheat, resulting in a smooth, crisp, and slightly sweet finish.
With the successful introduction of Runways Rye and Runways Gin, Rider saw an opportunity to further enhance the restaurant's offerings. He said, "With the fantastic success of Runways Rye and Runways Gin, we decided to move forward with offering Runways Vodka and Runways Rum." Each bottle features beautiful labels designed by award-winning artist Laura Oates, ensuring they not only stand out on shelves but also serve as collector's items for enthusiasts.
The Grille at Runways has been dedicated to creating lasting memories for its guests since opening in 2014. The introduction of these private label spirits elevates the dining experience of patrons, allowing them to enjoy unique drinks alongside delicious food in a vibrant atmosphere.
