Litchfield Distillery Official home of The Spirit of Hard Workยฎ. Named "CT Distillery of the Year" from 2018-2026 by the NY International Spirits Competition. They do the growing.

Nestled in the hills of northwest Connecticut, Litchfield Distillery proudly offers a diverse portfolio of award-winning spirits: Straight Bourbon Wh***ey, Double-Barreled Bourbon Wh***ey, Bourbon Wh***ey Port Cask Finish, Rye Wh***ey Coffee Bourbon, Vanilla Bourbon, Cinnamon Bourbon, Gin, Honey Finished Gin, Agave Spirits, Vodka, Strawberry Vodka, Blueberry Vodka, Orange Vodka and RTD Bottled Craft Cocktails. We call ourselves the Batchers in honor of the early farmers of Northwest Connecticut, a region that became known for its ample yields of wheat, corn and barley. Coaxing these crops from the distinctively difficult, rocky terrain took a certain type of grit and determination. Our Batchers' philosophy is rooted in the local movement and the art of small-batch craftsmanship. We take the best our local farmers have to offer and craft fine spirits--one batch at a time. We do the batching. And you get a little share in this luscious little section of Connecticut called Litchfield County. We are open 7 DAYS A WEEK and offer FREE tours & tastings on the top of the hour. Come experience why we've been named "CT DISTILLERY OF THE YEAR" by the NY International Spirits Competition from 2018 through 2025. LITCHFIELD DISTILLERY. The Spirit of Hard Workยฎ.

If you've spent any time in Litchfield County during October, you know why we love this time of year. The hills are showing off their fall colors, the air is getting crisp, and there's no shortage of reasons to get outside and enjoy it all.

It's also a great time to visit us at Litchfield Distillery. Whether you're making a day of leaf peeping or simply looking for something fun to do this weekend, we'd love to have you join us for a complimentary Tour & Tasting.

Trust us, this is a perfect drink to enjoy on a fall day. This cocktail was featured on Mixology Spirit last year with Peterson Souza and we've been fans ever since. Our Vanilla Bourbon brings a smooth sweetness to the table that is complemented by clove, nutmeg, and cinnamon notes in the Allspice Dram and Cinnamon Syrup. Fresh lemon juice adds some acidity and a splash of Ginger B**r completes this masterpiece. Anytime you've got friends gathering around the fire pit, this should be the cocktail you serve. Cheers!

Ingredients:
1.5 oz Litchfield Distillery Vanilla Bourbon
0.50 oz Allspice Dram
0.75 oz Cinnamon Syrup
1.0 oz Fresh Lemon Juice
Top with Badger Ginger B**r
Garnish: Lemon Wedge & Cinnamon Stick
Method: Add Vanilla Bourbon, Allspice Dram, cinnamon syrup and lemon juice to shaker with ice. Shake until chilled. Strain into mule cup filled with ice and top off with ginger b**r. Garnish with lemon and cinnamon stick.

Gotta share some love...We're so grateful for your excitement about the return of Crรจme de Maple! We're batching more to make sure there's plenty to go around this fall and holiday season. You should be seeing it at many of the retailers that carry our spirits, and we hope you'll support them when you're looking for your next bottle. Thanks again for all the love!

This time of year, we start hearing more calls for our flavored Bourbons. Cinnamon Bourbon is a great example. It's infused with real cinnamon sticks for a truly authentic taste -- one that has no added sugars or tastes like candy. Our philosophy with flavored bourbon is that the added flavor should never steal the spotlight from the bourbon.

Try spiking some fresh apple c***r with it or build a Cinnamon Bourbon Old Fashioned this weekend (recipe in comments).
