Seacrets’ bill for distilleries in county now with Hogan

While numerous steps remain between the plan and the reality, the way has been paved for Seacrets to open a distillery on its 49th Street property.

The nightclub/restaurant complex had been distilling its own line of spirits in Delaware, but will bring operations home once it becomes legal to do so.

If signed by Gov. Larry Hogan, the legislation will take effect July 1, allowing Seacrets to apply to Worcester County for a limited distillery license as a holder of a class D beer, wine and liquor license. As there was no opposition to the house or senate versions of the bill, the governor is expected to sign it.
