Triple Eight Distillery

Sort results:
Since the infamous Blue Laws were enacted in the 1600s, Massachusetts' liquor laws have been some of the most stringent in the country. But Nantucket Island has an incredible source of clean, soft water perfect for distilling. So born out of a passion for producing quality beverages, Nantucket Vineyards and Cisco Brewers collaborated to found Triple Eight Distillery. It all started in 1997 when Dean Long, owner of Nantucket Vineyards, applied for a license to manufacture high proofed spirits so that he could produce grappa and fruit brandies. But after some experimentation, Long decided that it would be more interesting to make whiskey and other liquors. After jumping through a myriad of hoops, in 2000 the Commonwealth of Massachusetts gave Triple Eight Distillery a license to produce high proofed spirits, making it one of the first distilleries in the State. After burning down one greenhouse and spending countless hours piecing together a new still, Triple Eight Distillery began making Notch whiskey. Because of whiskey's long aging process (a minimum of five years "in the wood"), the fledgling distillers decided to also try their hand at making vodka. But being a tiny distillery, they decided that the best way to gain a wide distribution commensurate with their quality products was to hit the streets themselves. So they began self-distributing Triple Eight Vodka both on Nantucket Island and in the greater Boston area in their classic 1975 8 Ball-bedecked VW camper van. It isn't the image you might associate with a super-premium vodka brand, but we love it. And we are sure that you will love it (and our liquors) too! Visit the Triple Eight Distillery website.
Introduced in the spring of 2003, Triple Eight Orange is unlike any other flavored vodka on the market. Most other flavored vodkas are made with chemical extracts. This is an extremely simple method of artificial flavoring resulting in a fake, almost bubble gum flavor. more
