The Distillery
In 2008 Jim began investigating ways to add value to the annual fruit crop. He encountered Eau de Vie, translated from French as "Water of Life". As a home winemaker, he was drawn to this segment of the spirits industry and another passion was ignited. Since that discovery, he has pursued ways to bring fresh, locally made, spirits to the midwest region.
The still arrived from Portugal in January 2012 & permits were filed with the Federal Government, the State Government and Ray County. We were able to gain approval and fire up the still for the first time in October 2012. Apple Brandy from an assortment of our apples was the first product produced from the still. We continue to expand our offerings, as connections for more local products increase and our knowledge of distilling expands.

The Spirits
Apple Brandy
Our flagship product is made from a variety of apples grown in our orchard & around Missouri and aged in Missouri white oak barrels. Sweet apple notes to the nose are followed by barrel flavors on the palate. 40% ABV (80 proof) Available in 50ml | 375ml | 750ml |
Beetroot
From the garden to the bottle! The beet distillate has the earthy aroma and flavor of this crimson root crop. Perfect in savory cocktails like a Bloody Mary. 40% ABV (80 proof) Available in 50ml | 375ml |
Blackberry Liqueur
Made from whole blackberries; it has an intense blackberry flavor, with a little tartness and is one of our sweetest products. Very versatile in mixed drinks, it pairs well with champagne, lemonade, or wine and is often served in Sangrias or Spritzers. 20% ABV (40 proof) Available in 50ml | 375ml |
Cherry Liqueur
Tart Montmorency Cherries are used in this delightful liqueur. The essence of the fruit is fully captured and transports one back to summer days and Grandma's tart cherry pie. Enjoy over with a splash of limeade and tonic water for refreshing Cherry Sour. 20% ABV (40 proof) Available in 50ml | 375 ml |
Doña Fina
We partner with & source our coffee from a family run farm in Guatemala. The dark coffee is balanced with a hint of sweetness making this a great option for a weekend brunch or as a dessert, if poured over ice cream! 20% ABV (40 proof) Available in 50ml | 375ml |
Rye Eau de Vie
Using the same mash bill as the Ray County Rye Whiskey, the Eau de Vie is aged in glass and remains clear. The earthy and herbacious rye grain flavors are allowed to fully interact with your senses. Perfect on the rocks or in Bloody Mary's 40% ABV (80 proof) Available in 375 ml |
Gin No.1
Our first gin release (of many to come) has a strong citrus aroma combined with a refreshingly spicy ginger flavor. It is delicious neat or over ice as well as in cocktails like a Negroni or Tom Collins. 45% ABV (90 proof) Available in 50ml | 375ml | 750ml |
Grappa
The tasty product we get when distilling the grape pommace from area wineries. Pommace is the grape skins, stems and seeds remaining after the wine has been pressed. A popular digestive in Europe, it is more challenging to find in the U.S. 40% ABV (80 proof) Available in 500ml |
Honey Spirit
Honey is sourced from local producers and hives used to pollinate the orchard. An eau de vie made from mead has delicate floral notes on the nose and a subtle finish of honey. Mix with pineapple-orange juice or a Chai syrup and club doda. 42% ABV (84 proof) Available in 375ml |
Pommeau
A style of liqueur from Northern France. The sweet blend of our Apple spirits and fresh apple cider is rested for up to a year in our used Apple Brandy barrels. The result is an easy-drinking liqueur that can be served on the rocks or added to cocktails. 20% ABV (40 proof) Available in 375ml |
Raspberry Liqueur
The perfect addition to your summertime cocktails! Slightly sweet and full of fresh raspberry notes. Mix with champagne for a pink raspberry Bellini. 20% (40 proof) Available in 50ml | 375ml |
Ray County Rye Whiskey
Our take on this famous American spirit. The 95% rye & 5% barley mash bill gives it a nice, spicy flavor that is mellowed with sweeter undertones developed during the aging process. Aged in Missouri white oak barrels. Perfect for serving neat or adding to your favorite cocktail. 40% ABV (80 proof) Available in 375ml |
