Welcome to
The Intersection of
Craft & Science
Where Flavor is Distilled & Bottled.
At Skeptic Distillery, we combine the science of low pressure, cold distillation with a culinary approach to flavor, producing clean and vibrant spirits that taste as fresh as the day our ingredients were picked from the earth.
OUR STORY
Distilling Fresh Flavor
As one of only a few in the entire world, our craft distillery specializes in the application of cold distillation methods to spirits. We strive to create flavor experiences that evoke emotions and memories. Every decision is inspired by our mission, which is to provide the highest quality spirits that connect with people in unexpected ways.

Fresh Flavor
Distilled & Bottled
CURIOUS SPIRITS
Each of our unique spirits is distilled under near-zero pressure at cold temperatures, devoid of oxygen. This process preserves flavors and aromas that would be otherwise destroyed. Cold distillation also carries over a natural sweetness of midwestern corn and a clean, smooth and complex taste.
Skeptic Vodka
SIP Awards Double Gold 2019
Vodka of the Year 2018
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 2019)
Gin of The Year/Best in Show 2018
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 2021
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 2019
Vodka of the Year 2018
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.
