“We are a true Grain to Glass San Diego distillery,” according to the craft distiller's website, “which means every drop of alcohol that leaves our shop came to life there in the first place.

Currently located in the neighborhood of Miramar; we had a Willy Wonka-like experience with the owner, Geoff Longenecker. He prides himself on creating unique and diverse batches of distilled spirits. We actually had a rare chance to taste a one of a kind delicious gin coming right out of the still at over 150 proof.
