Scottish Tradition Meets Southern Innovation
To distill spirits is to continue a tradition born in the Middle Ages and perfected tirelessly throughout the centuries by monks, moonshiners, and master distillers. At its most basic, the science of distillation requires only water, yeast, flame, and grain (or, in the case of brandy, fruit). But the art of distillation requires much more: patience, tenacity, innovation. We believe much remains uncharted in the craft of distilling spirits – new grain profiles, new distillation and aging techniques, new flavors, and ultimately, entirely new experiences for those who enjoy a dram. By constantly re-evaluating traditional methods, we hope to contribute in some small way to the discoveries that await.
More recently, we’ve applied our mission of marrying tradition and innovation to vodka and gin, crafting a refreshingly clean, activated-carbon-filtered vodka and incorporating unique, Southern-inspired botanicals into a traditional, juniper-forward gin base.
In light of our unique hybrid approach to making whiskey, combining traditional, Scottish-style double copper pot distillation, with innovative, Southern-style grain-in distillation, we consider ourselves Southern Pot-Still Pioneers.
