In 2015, during our honeymoon in Kentucky, fate led us to meet the legendary Jimmy Russell, head distiller of Wild Turkey. Inspired by the experience and captivated by the idea of creating something similar back home, we knew we had to embark on our own distilling journey.
The global pandemic gave us the unexpected opportunity to delve into the art of distilling. While locked away in a hotel for two weeks, we started learning with the help of The Distillers Institute. Despite the challenges and the need for significant funds, we were determined not to let that deter us.
In 2022, armed with our carefully crafted recipe and some stock, we took the plunge and launched our venture. Our mission is to showcase the best of our region, from its abundant produce to its rich history. The labels on our bottles proudly feature a local photograph, highlighting the scenic beauty of our town, its river, and the iconic bridges. Mypolonga fruit lends its delightful citrus touch to both the distillation process and the serving of our drinks.
Currently, we are in the production-only phase, requiring prior contact for any visits. However, we envision a future where we can welcome you to a place that beautifully showcases everything we do. With passion and determination, we aim to bring the essence of our region to your glass and create an unforgettable experience for all who visit.
