History

Northside Distilling began as a basement hobby project – two friends with a quiet and steady interest in authentic, handcrafted spirits. To meet the growing demand, production moved from the basement to the family's barn in Cincinnati’s historic Northside neighborhood, where the brand was officially born and began to expand its lineup. After another move to Cincinnati’s vibrant downtown scene, Northside Distilling has expanded its range of award-winning, authentic spirits with a deep, yet smooth flavor profile. Northside Distilling is Cincinnati's first downtown distillery since Prohibition. Today we produce bourbon, gin, vodka, American Agave and seasonal rums, as well as limited-edition special releases and private-label spirits.
