Founded as an eau de vie distillery in 1982 by Jörg Rupf, the distillery is both a forerunner and a true trailblazer of the modern American craft distilling movement.
Lance Winters, an ex-naval nuclear scientist, famously used a bottle of homemade whiskey as his resume when he joined the company i 1996. One year later, Jorg and Lance began distilling and aging their single malt whiskey,
