1220 Artisan Spirits

St. Louis, MO
We felt there was a lot of commonality between craft beer and gin. When we brew beer, a lot of it isn’t just water, yeast, hops and barley; we used a lot of different fruits, herbs and spices in order to complement a hop or malt. We felt gin gave us a similar opportunity. We also wanted to create a specific tonic that enhanced the Origin gin that we created to hopefully create that perfect gin and tonic.

The Washington Distilling Company

I started Mashbuild to demonstrate that while the traditional “process first” distillers are incredible, there’s still room in bourbon for tastes, aromas, and aging techniques that we haven’t tried before, that there’s room for a “flavor-first” approach, that there’s a home for drinkers with experimental palates. Now we are also taking this approach for other spirits as well.
