Exciting times (and spirits) ahead! ⁠ ⁠ We're thrilled to announce a major step forward for our distillery! Currently underway is the removal of a significant piece of our North campus – a massive, old boiler. This demolition paves the way for an exciting repurposing of this space, directly supporting our distillery expansion plans! Soon, we'll be welcoming a high-capacity column and pot stills to the North campus. These new stills, combined with a new boiler, will dramatically enhance our spirits production capabilities, allowing us to bring even more of our handcrafted products to you. Get ready for more of your favorite spirits, crafted with the same passion and dedication you've come to expect from us!
