IMAGINATION IS THE BEGINNING OF CRAFT CREATION

Our primary aim in distilling is to blend the realm of craft ingredients with that of spirits. To achieve this, we infuse our recipes with a diverse array of non-standard malts, often used in the creation of other spirits. Our specialized on-grain fermentation and distilling methods yield an exceptional range of spirits, each with a unique character and depth of flavor.

In our pursuit of excellence, we have recently established a sourcing program to procure premium aged whiskeys from around the globe. This initiative has enabled us to expand our repertoire and craft the most exquisite spirits San Diego has to offer.

NOTES FROM HEAD DISTILLER T. TRENT TILTON

Over 20 years ago, T. Trent Tilton began his journey as a homebrewer of craft beer, laying the groundwork for his approach to creating spirits. In 2012, Trent became one of the pioneering members of the craft distilling movement in San Diego, and shortly after, he founded San Diego Distillery. Drawing on his background in beer-making, Trent's innovative use of non-traditional ingredients has made San Diego Distillery's specialty spirits highly sought after across the country.
