The Industrious Spirit Company
Gin
80 Proof, $34.99/750mL
Dubbed Ornamental Gin in homage to the ornamental steel that was made on the site we now work on for over 100 years, its made entirely from scratch on site from a base of 100% non-GMO organic corn, just like our vodka. All gins must of course be flavored with juniper, and in addition to this ours includes a very special mix of 15 additional botanicals on top—elderflowers, passion flower, lots of citrus and hops are just a few! After a long, slow and careful distillation, the liquid is left to rest for a month to let the flavors meld. After being slowly proofed down to 40% ABV over a further period of weeks, our gin is finally gently filtered (but not chill filtered, which might affect the delicate flavors!) just before bottling. Works well in all the classics, or on the rocks with a twist. Recommended cocktails: Aviation, Bees Knees, Corpse Reviver #2.

The Industrious Spirit Company
Vodka
80 Proof, $29.99/750mL
Our vodka starts its life as regionally grown, organic, non-GMO corn. After it is milled to our specifications by our farm partner, we begin the time-intensive process of making our vodka from scratch on site. To create the purest expression of our base material, we cook, ferment and distill our corn in small batches. After a number of these smaller batches are ready, we combine them for a further round of distillation. Everything is then charcoal filtered at least 20 times for an even cleaner, crisper experience. With a uniquely creamy mouthfeel and smooth, lingering finish, our vodka’s distinctive flavor comes from its 100% corn base. True to its name, it stands up both by itself—sipped neat or on the rocks—but also plays nicely with others. Recommended cocktails: Greyhound, Moscow Mule, Vodka Tonic.
Sauvage Distillery
Vodka
80 Proof, $28.00/750mL
Handcrafted in small batches and all natural, Upstate vodka is living proof that you can create a clean, smooth, pure vodka from apples.

Macerated, distilled, and bottled under one roof, Upstate has a unique, light, crisp mouthfeel and is certified gluten free and kosher. So smooth, it tastes great on-the-rocks or in a vodka soda and mixes beautifully in your favorite vodka cocktails.

Vodka
80 Proof, $25.99/750mL
Reverend Spirits Vodka is made with 100% corn, the vodka is well balanced with slight alcohol assertion and the telltale sweetness from the grain. The body has noticeable up front alcohol, giving way to a soft “buttery” mouth feel and a clean, quick finish.
Swamp Fox Distilling, LLC
Clear Rum
90 Proof, $22.00/750mL
This is our White Rum. Basically, naked rum right out of the still. While it comes out of the still at an average of 155 proof, we proof our Naked rum down to a pleasant 90 proof. It is considered a “Heavy Rum”, which is much more flavorful than other “light rums”. Naked has hints of butterscotch and toffee. Great with Coke or root beer, and outstanding in a Mojito.
Swamp Fox Distilling, LLC
Spiced Rum
96 Proof, $28.00/750mL
This is our spiced rum. Using Naked as our base, proofed to 96, this rum is infused with 11 spices, a majority of which we obtain from Green Heart Awakening, the local tea and spice store in Pendleton. All the added spices give it a very bold and flavorful taste. Great with Coke, neat, on the rocks, hot apple cider, or a Pain Killer with a spicy twist.
Swamp Fox Distilling, LLC
Flavored Rum
100 Proof, $30.00/750mL
This is our Clemson Tigers tribute rum. Using Naked as our base, we proof it to 100, and then infuse fresh orange zest and whole Madagascar vanilla beans in a barrel over time. The result is a very citrusy and smooth delightful rum. Great neat or on the rocks. Combine with Cream Soda to make a Dreamsicle or use in place of Triple Sec for a top shelf Margarita.
