Description

Our distillery is founded on experimenting with wormwood spirits. Early on in our trials, wormwood was an illusive banned ingredient, best known for its use in traditional absinthe. On our first distillation we fell in love with more than the myth though and unknown to us at the time, spirits with wormwood were nearing the end of a century old ban.

After over a decade of creating our own unique distilling methods we are releasing one-of-a-kind wormwood spirits that depart from traditional absinthe in profile, but use the wormwood in the distillation to create a distinct complexity. Farming our own wormwood in upstate New York’s Orange County where we grew up, we are using its bitter profile, once prolific in spirits like Vermouth and Amaro, to influence our spirits similar to how bitters do in a cocktail- but all in the distilling process. You end up with familiar but new tastes for what a rye, gin, agave and wormwood spirit can be. We don’t use anise or licorice – just keep the wormwood, allowing it create a unique depth and complexity in our favorite spirits.
