When we established Distillarium, we did not set out to recreate the wheel of distilled spirits, but to mirror the practices of master distillers from bygone eras. We knew this would take more than sourcing the finest raw materials and the most exquisite oak casks. The Distillarium would have to be founded on the principles of patience. When creating our batches of barrel-aged spirits, we look not to what is, but the premium quality and perfected craft of what once was.
