Spirits

Lee Medoff began his career as a brewer, then moved on to winemaking where he first became exposed to distillation. He started House Spirits Distillery in 2004, and was one of the founding members and first president of the Oregon Distillers Guild, America’s first craft distillers guild.

Alipús Mezcal originated in 1999 as a social impact project by Distilería Los Danzantes that sought to support traditional family producers.

Pisco LOGIA is a grape brandy distilled and bottled at the vineyards in the Mala Valley, south of Lima, Peru. The traditional production methods of Pisco are regulated by the Peruvian government. Like Mezcal in Mexico, the spirit has significant cultural and social meaning among indigenous Peruvians.

Half a century ago, Alfons Walcher discovered his passion for distilling special alcoholic spirits. In 1966 he set up his first pot still (which he purchased himself) in the basement of the Turmbachhof farm, which had belonged to the Walcher family for nine generations.

The Gutierrez family has been experimenting with mezcal production for 9 years, using Agave durangensis (cenizo) which is indigenous to the state of Durango in northern Mexico. 

Sisters Maria and Claudia Turrent started Borroso Mezcal in Ensenada, Baja California and work with producers throughout Mexico to bring craft-distilled Mezcal stateside.

La Gritona Reposado is a 100% de agave tequila distilled by Melly Cardenas at her small distillery (NOM 1533) in Valle de Guadalupe in the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico. Rested for 8 months the tequila is then bottled in one of the most distinctive bottles on the market, hand blown from recycled Mexican Coke bottles.
