Our goal is maximize flavor and aroma,  not profitability. It’s an artisanal process that results in a better-tasting product - that’s why we’ve always distilled that way and we always will”. check out more facts at www.stgeorgespirits.com, it is really exciting. and i like especially their bottle and etiquette designs – very nice and tasteful. pics | ST: GEORGE SPIRITS, Erin Hall, Jan Stürmann
