About Us

Split Spirits was founded with the ethos of doing the right thing. That’s why we source local and sustainably grown grains, take only the tightest cuts off our stills to put into bottles or barrels and why we became the country’s first climate neutral certified distillery. 

We believe that the community of drinkers that enjoy our adventuresome spirits live by a similar creed and aren’t afraid to chart their own course - whether on the trail, with a new cocktail idea or doing the right thing for the planet. They share our curiosity for exploring new and delicious flavors. They appreciate our earnest approach to making spirits that are exceptional and love that we boldly go where other distilleries choose not to venture.

Ever since we filled our first barrel, we’ve been dedicated to making adventuresome spirits with Vermont character and doing so in harmony with the planet.

Our Brand Values:
 

• Create sustainably
• Take the road less traveled
• Small batch from scratch
