21 Feb Franklin Distillery Southern Gin and Vodka Tasting
Franklin Distillery Tasting
While bonding over a drink in Colorado in 2013, Michael Stainbrook and Michael Ward began talking casually about creating a distillery one day. Stainbrook, an almost 20-year resident Tennessean, and Ward, a Tennessee native, found their way to the heart of Franklin right at the town center, 35° N 86° W, to craft a spirit celebrating the local ingredients.
After several recipes and tastings, both Mikes knew they wanted to start with a Southern Gin. They settled on distilling 14 premium botanicals that reflect the American South, a tribute to the land that defines it. Bringing it to proof using pure Tennessee water, naturally filtered through limestone—their methods reflect the best of the South: traditional, yet adventurous; bold, yet refined.
So, exactly what makes their Vodka Southern? Distilled from citrus grown in the American South, Franklin Distillery’s Vodka not only embraces the Southern Spirit, it embodies it. A rare find, it features hints of citrus on the nose and finish, subtly recalling its origins.
Franklin Distillery spirits are crafted for your enjoyment. Whether you’re mixing gin & tonic for a crowd on a backyard summer night or pouring up a vodka martini for two, drinking it from a bottle on a seaside picnic or tying one up in a bow as a gift for a friend, our hope is that you’ll make their spirits, yours.
