Fresh Flavor
Distilled & Bottled

Skeptic Vodka
SIP Awards Double Gold
Vodka of the Year
Our vodka has won more awards than we can recall. Naturally gluten free with no additives, it still retains a natural sweetness of the Midwestern corn from which it is made because of the cold distillation process. One of the smoothest and cleanest tasting corn vodkas you will ever try.
Skeptic Gin
Top 100 Spirits in the World
(Wine Enthusiast)
Gin of The Year/Best in Show
Skeptic Gin is a blend of fresh ingredients infused in our corn spirit base for over a week, including fresh mango, pear, gooseberries, orange and grapefruit zest, juniper berries, coriander, green cardamom and hibiscus flower. Cold distillation brings the brightness of all these ingredients into the final contemporary gin we call Skeptic Gin No. 1.
GinQuila Reposado
SIP Awards Double Gold
GinQuila is inspired by the vibrant flavors of Latin America and the cantarito cocktail. Fresh grapefruit, orange, lemon and lime zests, papaya, chipotle and arbol peppers, thyme, cinnamon and a bit of juniper are all infused for a week in our corn spirit base, redistilled at cold temperatures, then rested in former tequila barrels for several months.
GinQuila Anejo
Single Barrel Release
SIP Awards Double Gold
GinQuila Anejo is aged for between 1-3 years in the same barrels as GinQuila Reposado, then single barrels are hand selected for bottling at 92.6 proof. This expression showcases more of the oaky tequila, creamy vanilla and spice notes from the barrels with a complex array of tropical flavors and aromas.
