Our Distillery

is made up of many systems and processes that all share credit for the character of the final spirit. From the grain silos preserving the freshness of the initial whole grains to the final fine tuning of the spirit’s proof years later, each step in the process takes place on site. Milling, cooking, fermenting, distilling, and barreling takes place in a restored mid-century dairy barn. Aging, final proofing, and bottling take place in a specially designed barrel house built into the nearby hillside.

Whole grains are milled with a roller mill and cooked in 1,000 gallon mashes. After fermentation, the distiller’s beer is distilled twice using a Vendome Copper & Brass Works continuous column still with an inline doubler.

The barrel house is situated with its broad side facing the south and is separated into two stories: the upper is uninsulated to take advantage of the sun’s heat during the day and the cold of the northern nights, the lower is built into the hill to provide a more moderate environment for longer aging periods of a decade or longer.
