Run by brothers Will and Dave Willis, Bully Boy holds the title of Boston’s first craft distillery, working out of Cedric Street in the Newmarket district on the Roxbury side of town. The tour digs into the operation’s origins, walks the production floor, and folds in a bit of Boston’s long, complicated drinking history while covering how the team turns out whiskey, rum, gin, vodka, and amaro.

Plan on roughly an hour, with a complimentary sampling of the spirits built in. The finish line is the handsome tasting-room bar, where a seasonally rotating cocktail menu gives you a reason to linger past the official end. Tours are 21-plus and capped in size, so booking ahead through the website is the smart move — weekend slots go quickly. A great pick for cocktail people who want to see behind the curtain.
