"A spicy, earthy, surprisingly tasty spirit that seems tailor-made for a Bloody Mary but is even better appreciated sipped neat or as an oyster shooter (ice-cold in both cases), the unusual vodka is one example of the ways in which Split Rock is doing things differently."

Susan Axelrod, Maine Magazine

"From the moment you step foot into Split Rock Distillery, the owners’ infectious personalities and hospitality are evident. Topher Mallory and Matt Page are excited for good reason: Along with support from their staff, customers, the community, and other local businesses, these distillers have created Maine’s first organic spirits."

"The Secret Ingredient That Improves My Cocktails, Morning Yogurt, Delivery Pizza… Royal Rose’s saffron syrup is my ride-or-die."

Amanda Shapiro, bon appetit

"It’s unnerving that most fruit-flavored vodkas are as clear as water. (Oranges are orange, raspberries red, and peaches peach, after all.) But the blueberry vodka at Split Rock Distilling in Newcastle is the color it ought to be."

DownEast Magazine

"Split Rock’s whiskey proved an exception. Like its organic vodkas, this craft drink went down incredibly smooth, leaving a sweet, smoky aftertaste."
