St. George Spirits

America's First Craft Distillery

German-born Jörg Rupf brought European eau-de-vie traditions to California's Bay Area. Master distiller Lance Winters later expanded into whiskey, using roasted and smoked malts to create a distinctly American take on single malt. Their experimental spirit defines Bay Area creativity.
