The benefits start with a small production scale, which allows craft distillers to seek-out hard-to-find ingredients while deploying hands-on fermentation, distillation, blending and infusion techniques. And beyond opening the door for lesser-known liquor styles, craft distillers are also elevating traditional spirits to new heights. Crafted in traditional copper stills in four varieties, Shore’s rums are refining longstanding East Coast rum drinking traditions.

Just as craft beer and wines have improved our drinking landscape, craft spirits are poised to do the same.
