Before arriving, schedule a tour and tasting to experience our process firsthand through sight, taste, and touch.

ECO-FRIENDLY DISTILLERY

Our team sources small potatoes and potato by-products, fermenting and then distilling it to extract the alcohol. Most waste will be potato slurry and water that can be reused for compost or animal feed.
Distilling is almost silent, generating as much sound as a boiling pot of water. Other sounds may result from bottling or moving product, but these would be no louder than the clinking of glass.
Distilleries do not generate fumes or pollution. All processes are driven by water and steam only.
