I’ve been sworn to secrecy about the name and location, but a group of islanders are putting the finishing touches on Bainbridge’s first (legitimate) distillery since the pioneering days. The above photo’s from their not-yet-ready Website.

In true Bainbridge style, the new distillery’s spirits will be organic and may make use of ingredients grown on island farms.

Gin and vodka are slated for bottling before summer. Batches of whiskey and rum are expected in about a year.

I’ll have more in the coming weeks as the distillery get closer to opening.
