In 1980, just before the beginning of the modern craft movement, there were fewer than 100 distilleries in the United States. By 2000, the US still had only 24 "craft" distilleries, concentrated in just 12 states. By 2011 that number was up to 234, and in the last ten years the industry has fully taken off in the footsteps of craft beer, now boasting over 2,000 craft distilleries including more than one in every single state. Still, almost half of craft distillers operate in just one state. Here we feature two American brands leading the way in vodka, gin and whiskey production, as well as our Ready to Drink cocktails by Death & Co which have featured American craft and these distilleries in their first release.
