LOCAL BY TRADITION, SUSTAINABLE BY PRINCIPLE.
400 years ago distilling with wheat from a local source was self- evident. And we took that as our starting point. Our entire production process, from wheat to bottle, is done inside a three-mile radius. We use water exclusively from our own artesian aquifer, and wheat sourced directly from local farmers who grow according to EU and USDA organic standards. They never use synthetic fertilizers or pesticides, and we never spur our distillation along with synthetic processes.
We love our past, but we do some things better now. Responsibility to the environment is a no brainer for us. We hope the great taste of our good practice will show people that ‘green’ is anything but boring.
Our leading-edge technology is pushing industry standards. Our entire distillery is run on electricity sourced from wind and waterpower. Our offices are heated from steam produced in the fermentation process. Our by-products are reused in other industries or recycled into bio-fuel for local buses. Our bottles are made from recycled glass, and are 100% recyclable. It doesn’t get much greener than that.
