Independent Small Batch Distillery
We hand-craft our small batch spirits right here
in this very bar on Gracie, our 500L pot still,
which you can see behind glass at the back.
When it comes to our handmade spirits, expect
the unfamiliar. Additions here and omissions
there have transformed the original you know so
well into something with much more character.
Here’s to the wild spirits
The thinkers, doers,
leaders and drinkers…
The imperfect perfectionists.
For they see the world in all of
its weirdness.
They are the ones who
live life’s wonders.
