The Independent Distillery was founded in 2012 and we are a small-batch, independently-minded distillery, located in the heart of historic downtown Tucson, Arizona. We are a small crew who took on the challenge of building out a successful pre-prohibition bar, while patiently developing the first of many spirits to come.

Using reclaimed materials and wood from nearby Mount Lemmon, we repurposed and let our imaginations take over to create a pre-prohibition bar serving distinguished cocktails that focus on the spirit and fresh ingredients. We took every challenge head on to bring in life back into the building and we have pictures and the scars to prove it. With the help of all of our supporters both near and far, we opened our doors in September of 2015.
We are focused on making small batch spirits with great taste and personality. Our unique line of spirits balance both our artistic impression with distilling science, creating spirits of genuine integrity. Each bottle is hand labeled, demonstrating a commitment to the detail we put into each and every batch. We emphasize quality in every step of the process and look forward to sharing our products with those who appreciate the craft and care that goes into every bottle. When you taste our spirits, we are certain the quality and character of what’s in your glass will convey our intentions.
