Vapor Distillery

Vapor Distillery's small-batch gins and other spirits are the product of old-fashioned hand-crafted distilling methods. Distiller Ted Palmer starts with organic products and raw botanicals, and uses a hand grinder, Spanish copper still, and American oak barrels to produce his barrel-aged gins and liqueurs. It's a meticulous, quality-focused technique that has paid off—Vapor Distillery's libations have won numerous awards in competitions around the country.

When they aren't busy grinding and barreling, Ted and his team love to welcome guests to the distillery for tours, which provide a glimpse and a taste of Vapor Distillery's gin and the process that goes into making it. And, in tribute to its old-fashioned methods, the facility also features an on-site speakeasy where the staff pour specialty cocktails at an elegant, etched copper bar.
