What Makes Our Spirits Special

At our distillery, we take pride in crafting spirits that do more than just taste good. Our process is infused with the precision and care our veteran team brings from their previous service, making every bottle a testament to skill, dedication, and respect for our resources. We believe that a great spirit isn’t just about the ingredients or the method; it’s about the story and impact behind each drop. Each bottle holds a blend of tradition, innovation, and commitment to quality that makes our spirits stand out.

We start with select ingredients chosen carefully for their quality and compatibility with our distillation methods. This ensures that the flavors are rich and robust, perfectly capturing the essence of each component. But it’s not just about what goes into our spirits; it’s also about how we make them. Sustainability is at the core of our operations, guiding us to make choices that help protect our planet and give back to our community.

As you sip our spirits, remember that you’re participating in a larger mission. Not only are you enjoying a high-quality product, but you're also supporting a business that values people, planet, and purpose. This is what sets us apart, and we're excited to share this journey with you through every bottle we craft.

The Unique Ingredients in Our Spirits


We start with the best, because what goes into the bottle matters as much as the label that goes on it. Our spirits are crafted from high-quality ingredients that we select with care. For each product, we explore farms and suppliers who share our commitment to excellence and sustainability, ensuring that every element, from the grains to the purest water, contributes to an exceptional taste experience. These aren’t just any ingredients; they are a curated collection aimed at delivering a distinct flavor that stands out. We use locally sourced grains and botanicals whenever possible, supporting our community and reducing our environmental footprint.

Moreover, our unique approach extends to experimenting with different combinations of yeasts and fermentation processes, allowing us to create various taste profiles. This diversity not only caters to distinct palates but also honors the expertise of our veteran team members who bring their precision and attention to detail to every batch we produce. From the crispness of our vodka to the rich body of our whiskey, each spirit is a reflection of not just quality ingredients but of the mastery behind them.

How We Craft Spirits with Veteran Precision


Crafting spirits is an art and science that requires attention, precision, and timing—skills that are second nature to our team of veterans. The process begins with milling, converting the grains into a fine meal, which is then cooked to begin the sugar extraction process. This step is critical; the consistency and temperature must be exactly right to ensure we start fermentation on the right note. Our team's military background is reflected in how meticulously they manage this process, adhering to strict protocols that guarantee consistency and quality.

Fermentation is where our precision really comes into play. Monitoring the fermentation tanks involves constant vigilance, checking temperatures, and testing density to ensure the yeast transforms sugar into alcohol efficiently and cleanly. This task might seem repetitive or mundane to some, but our veterans understand its importance, bringing a level of dedication that ensures top-quality results every time. After fermentation, our spirits move on to distillation, where they are heated in stills designed to separate alcohol from other compounds. Each step in this journey from grain to glass is guided by the same preciseness that characterized our team's military service, ensuring that what we bottle is nothing short of excellent.

Sustainability: Our Commitment in Every Bottle


In every step of producing our spirits, sustainability is a priority. We understand that protecting the environment is not just good practice—it's our responsibility. This commitment begins right at the source, with the selection of sustainable raw materials. By choosing suppliers who practice responsible farming techniques and renew resources, we ensure our production process contributes positively to the environment.

Our commitment extends to our packaging choices. We use recycled materials whenever possible, and all our packaging is designed to be recyclable, supporting the ethos of "reduce, reuse, recycle." Even more, our distillery operations are powered by renewable energy sources to minimize our carbon footprint. This careful attention to sustainability not only helps protect our planet but also aligns with the values of integrity and respect that we hold dear.

How Our Spirits Give Back to the Veteran Community


Giving back is a cornerstone of what we do. Each purchase of our spirits directly supports veteran employment, providing jobs that offer dignity and a purposeful transition to civilian life. Additionally, a portion of our profits is dedicated to veteran charities that focus on mental health, skill development, and community integration. This commitment ensures that our success is shared with those who have served our country, helping them to thrive outside the military.

By choosing our spirits, you’re not just enjoying a high-quality product; you’re helping to support a brighter future for veterans and their families. We believe that business is not just about making profits but about making a difference—especially for those who have made significant sacrifices for our freedom.
