Tennessee, Meet California…
We’re a handful of people devoted to the craft of distilling and creating the best distilled spirits possible.
As one of San Diego’s growing small batch distilleries, we are anxious to share our unique products and look forward to meeting people who appreciate high quality craft distilled spirits. Give us a try and see for yourself how unique these hand crafted spirits can be.
Traditions Distilling Company is doing it the old fashioned way but in a West Coast Style™. Small batch products made with old world methods but with localized flavors and ingredients. Methods which result in products with great taste and personality. Our unique products made with local ingredients and whenever possible are in collaboration with some of our Craft partners. We try to put a West Coast (San Diego) twist on everything we do!
Located right in the heart of San Diego, Craft Beer Country, we look to built a world class artisan distillery and committed to produce limited quantity products guaranteed to please. We hope you’ll give our products a try and see for yourself what a true artisan distillery can do with old fashioned craftsmanship and localized flavors. You deserve it.
Our Philosophy
We have a simple philosophy: everything that we do must be done with quality in mind above all else, the way it was meant to be done. Our Team always appreciated the American craftsman; working by hand, making one of kind items that stand the test of time. In distillation, this means selecting the best ingredients, distilling in small batches, and taking care in every single step of the process. We take great pride in using old world techniques, techniques that haven’t changed in centuries. There are no computers controlling the stills, just a good sense of taste and smell to determine the cuts. In an era of mass production, squeezing costs and maximizing profits, one important thing is lost: quality. This country was built on quality manufacturing. At some point we lost our way. We shipped jobs overseas, became beholden to Wall Street earnings and lost our keen focus on quality products. Help us taking a stand against mass produced spirits. We are here to prove that American ingenuity and quality American manufacturing is still alive.
