About Us

Our distillery is located in the heart of Saint Michaels, in the historic Old Mill, just off Talbot Street, behind the brewery + the winery, across from the Classic Motor Museum and next to the Port of Call cigar shop.

We are in our 10th year of distilling spirits on the Eastern Shore, and are proud to showcase an incredibly unique selection of American rums.
Every drop is distilled by hand, in small batches, from start to finish. If you are in town, swing by any day after 11am, and check out our stellar offerings with complimentary tastings in our lovely shop: 11-4 Sun-Thu // 11-5 Fri & Sat

LYON RUM is the flagship spirit of Windon Distilling Company, located in Saint Michaels, Maryland, steps from the Chesapeake Bay. Founded in 2012, the distillery launched on 12/7/13 with a signature line of rums paying tribute to the rich, spirited traditions of the Eastern Shore. LYON RUM starts with intentionally-sourced raw ingredients: 100% Louisiana cane sugar & molasses, and is truly hand-crafted – mashed, fermented, and double-distilled in small pot stills – every step of the way, resulting in a wonderfully unique final product. The goal is to create a distinct & expressive American spirit – working to define the category of New American Rum, while experimenting with inspired infusions & finishes. Every spirit passes through the hands, and discerning palates, of the LYON RUM team.
