Winter Park Distilling Company
There’s no trick to how many times great vodka gets distilled. Real quality and distinction for vodka comes from aggressively cutting out natural alcohol impurities in every run of the still. We get such crisp vodka because we are more aggressive than anyone else we know about cutting those impurities. So go ahead and open a bottle of Genius at room temperature and smell how clean it is. You’ll sense right away why Genius is so fine and why less is indeed more.
Bear Gully Classic gets its name from a lake deep in the woods in Easter Winter Park. Bear Gully Lake was also a famous hangout for local kids engaged in various forms of mischief. Those days are gone, but the memories are strong. With such a rich history and tradition, we decided to name our whiskey family after it. The New Make is a smooth and hearty corn whiskey with a sweet nose – perfect for any whiskey cocktail.
Bear Gully Classic Reserve is the very first craft bourbon made in Florida. A single-barrel bourbon, it is crafted with a rich local corn mash and aged in a naturally heated rickhouse to over 100 degrees Fahrenheit. In this thick, humid, summertime air our award-winning bourbon gets its smooth and rich finish imbued with a proud central Florida pedigree.
Bonfire is a woody bourbon that acquires its flavor profile through a process that involves soaking unaged high-proof corn whiskey in a bed of charred sugar maple before aging in a brand new charred white oak barrel. As its name suggests, this blended bourbon whiskey arrives on the palate with smokey undertones followed by more traditional bourbon notes at the end.
Bear Gully Classic American Single Malt Whiskey is a distinguished spirit artfully crafted from red ale and matured to perfection in charred bourbon casks. With its captivating fusion of flavors, this exceptional whiskey offers a journey through the rich heritage of American brewing and the timeless allure of bourbon-infused oak, delivering a one-of-a-kind drinking experience that embodies the true
spirit of craftsmanship and innovation.
We’re a distillery in Florida, so it’s important to us to make some fantastic silver rum. We’ve managed that and more with a spirit named after a legendary little island in the middle of one of Winter Park’s most fabled lakes. Dog Island is made from local molasses that impart floral hints and almond. It is perfect in your favorite cocktail or over ice.
Borne out of collaboration with local brewers, this savory rum delivers a parade of flavor qualities that endear it to aficianados everywhere. The Dog Island Beer Barrel Aged Rum is our traditional silver rum aged in barrels which were first used to age red ale and bourbon. What results is a spirit that erupts first with a traditional floral body followed by coffee and chocolate notes.
Java Hound Rum is a remarkable blend of flavors where aged bourbon casks intertwine with Arabica coffee essence, harmoniously infusing our rum with rich coffee and bourbon notes, creating an extraordinary libation that awakens the senses with every sip.
