Boatman Spirits Co.’s distillery is setting sail.
After over a year of R&D, the distillery at Boatman Spirits Co. is ready to set sail. Three spirits are making their debut in February: a vodka, a Navy Strength gin, and an American Dry gin built on juniper and layered with coriander, citrus and subtle bittering botanicals.
Designed for versatility, the vodka will fold seamlessly into Boatman’s current cocktail program, while the gins will star in new ’tails crafted by the bar team. The bottles—branded by local creative Paul Tuorto—will also be available for purchase at the distillery, with plans to expand to local bars and statewide ABC stores.
The brainchild of distiller Geremy Prichard, the bar’s spirits lineup is already full steam ahead, with tomato leaf and honeysuckle varietal gins, rye and single-malt whiskies, and fruit brandies in the pipeline. Drawing on his bioprocessing sciences background from NC State, Prichard prides himself on using grains grown across NC, including Albemarle barley and Oriental’s Tidewater Grain Co. rye.
“Setting up local supply chains has always been really important to me,” he says. And, so, Boatman’s thoughtfully charted journey continues—one pour at a time. boatmanspirits.com
