History

Blue Rascal Distillery is located in the heart of blueberry country in Hammonton, NJ. Blueberry varieties are grown on the surrounding farms and contribute nuanced flavors to our brandy and liqueurs. We are proud to be from the area and to work to support local farmers and businesses as well as to help Hammonton become a destination for arts and entertainment for people in the Philadelphia and Atlantic City areas. We have been recognized with an exclusive designation and are noted for tours of the distillery.
