Boston Barhopper, September 16th, 2016
It’s a warm, late-summer day in South Boston, and the garage door leading into GrandTen Distilling’s facility on Dorchester Ave is wide open.
Inside, head bartender Steve Schnelwar and distiller Wes Dalton are standing on stepstools, huddled around a chalkboard that’s been painted onto a concrete column adjacent to the distillery’s bar. They are meticulously printing the headings that will herald for their weekly specials, and their efforts at chalkboard calligraphy are slow-going.

Matt Nuernberger and Spencer McMinn, cousins and cofounders of GrandTen Distilling in South Boston, are excited to have you to their place for a drink. “I think people can expect a unique experience. We are probably one of the few distilleries in the country where the alcohol goes from the still straight to the glass,” says Nuernberger.

Craft cocktails made with spirits distilled onsite
After fourteen months and a round of online fundraising, GrandTen Bar is finally ready to open in South Boston. The cocktail bar will be part of GrandTen Distilling and will open to craft spirit-loving customers this coming weekend.

What does it take to start a whiskey distillery in Boston? Apparently it takes a law degree, a chemistry background, or an MBA. Boston is now home to three whiskey distilleries – one in Roxbury, one in South Boston, and one on the Boston waterfront.

The South Boston-based distillery is raising funds to open Bar 383.
GrandTen Distilling has been using locally-sourced ingredients to produce spirits (gin, rum, and more) in South Boston since 2012, and now, the team wants to convert its Saturday tasting bar into a legit cocktail bar. “We’re building a space where people from all over Boston can come, kick back, and enjoy our spirits in good company,” GrandTen writes on crowdfunding site Indiegogo. They’re seeking $20,000 to make it happen, and the campaign closes on April 22. (They’ve already crossed the $5,000 mark.) The new venture is called Bar 383, named for the address — 383 Dorchester Ave.

You’ve never been in the food business. You’ve never made any variety of this particular product. You wheedle family and friends into investing thousands of dollars. You build out an entire industrial production site without ever having turned out even one product sample.
Against most logic, it pays off: you win local fans and a national award only months after selling the first taste.
That’s the convoluted path that cousins Matt Neurnberger and Spencer McMinn took to create Grand Ten Distilling, which opened in South Boston last April.

Grand Ten’s Medford Rum
Since debuting last Spring, this South Boston craft distillery housed in 19th-century iron foundry has been aggressively rolling out new spirits to complement their Fire Puncher Vodka and signature Wire Works Gin, including an apple vodka and series of liqueurs like the barrel-aged almond Amandine and botanical Angelica. What you’re eagerly awaiting though is a new batch of their Massachusetts Cranberry Liqueur and the highly anticipated/currently aging (in oak) Medford Rum.

The Great Tonic Taste-Off
We field-tested three artisanal syrups—and one great Italian soda—with our favorite local gin, GrandTen Distilling’s Wire Works. When making at home, add a half ounce of tonic syrup for every three ounces of soda water. Once opened, the tonic will keep in the refrigerator for up to six months.

Grand Ten Distilling is New England’s entrée into this elite league of pot distilling savants. Launched in April of 2012 by Matt Neurnberger and Spencer McMinn, this South Boston distillery makes gins and liqueurs that’ll make you forget all about your go-to bases for tonics and sodas. Their Wire Works gin is clean and bright without giving star treatment to any one ingredient-unlike say, Tanqueray (juniper) or Hendrick’s (cucumber). Their Special Reserve, aged eleven months in American oak barrels, is even more appealing, with vanilla notes from the oak somehow drawing out the essence of local cranberries, which are used in place of traditional citrus peel. And for those turned off by the licorice-y backbone synonymous with Chartreuse, the Grand Ten Angelica is a perfect alternative with notes of fresh orange zest and cinnamon and a balanced sweetness.
Make your next meeting, party, or corporate event a memorable one by hosting it at GrandTen Distilling's unique location. Space for up to 100 guests.
