Jordan and Lindsay Milne opened Hardshore Distilling at 53 Washington Ave. in October last year. The distillery’s only product, Hardshore Original Gin, is made with locally grown fresh rosemary and mint. The tasting room sells bottles of the gin as well as a selection of cocktails, and is open 2-8 p.m. Wednesday through Friday, noon to 8 p.m. Saturday, and noon to 6 p.m. Sunday.
