Who we are, Where we are, & When are we Open
Our frequent customers from PA, NY, NJ, MD and all around the states and even Ireland & England simply refer to us as Holy Ghost, as we are much more than a distillery. Although we sell our spirits by the bottle, we also have hand-crafted cocktails, signature Holy Ghost beers, and awesome Holy Ghost experiences for everyone to enjoy. So come in to Holy Ghost and see what everyone is talking about. Note: We are Pet Friendly so the chance of seeing a pup or two (on a leash) is about 50%.
Who we are
Located in the heart of the Poconos, where the PA Turnpike (NE Ext -Exit 95) and Interstate 80 intersect (exit 277), it is an easy 1.5 hour drive from Philadelphia, New York and New Jersey. We are 2 miles east of the RT940 / I80 / I-476 interchange.
