The Brand

Spirit Works Distilling

Sebastopol, CA

Est. 2012

Spirit Works Distilling is a grain-to-glass craft distillery in Sebastopol, in Sonoma County's West County wine country. Founded in 2012 by husband-and-wife team Timo and Ashby Marshall, the distillery mills, mashes, ferments, distills, and bottles every spirit on site from organic California grain. In July 2020 the American Distilling Institute named Spirit Works its National Distillery of the Year, citing not just the quality of the spirits but the distillery's women-led, family-run, community-focused values.

The Founder's Note

Timo and Ashby Marshall met while working together on environmental research vessels, where Timo learned of Ashby's family's generations-old sloe gin recipe. Both came from backgrounds in environmental justice and brought that same philosophy to Spirit Works, building the distillery around the idea that its decisions should give back to the land and the community as much as they take from it.

How It's Made

Every Spirit Works spirit starts as organic California grain, milled and mashed on site, then fermented, pot distilled, and bottled at the Sebastopol distillery. The whiskeys are aged a minimum of four years in full-size American oak barrels. The vodka, gin, and sloe gin are all built from the same base of organic red winter wheat.

Tasting Notes

Nose: bright aroma of baked apple, coffee, cedar, and leather. Palate: clove, nutmeg, honeycomb, toasted coconut, and vanilla. Finish: warm, rounded spice.
