Spirits from the fields of Vermont
Production starting summer of 2023.
Grown, stone-milled, distilled, & bottled on farm.
High Drive is a unique farm-based distillery that will produce a distinctive line of spirits created from grains grown on our farm and other ingredients sourced from local growers.
For over 40 years, the land has been our anchor and connection.
High Drive Distillery was founded by two brothers determined to save their family farm in the hills of Northern Vermont. Guided by their stewardship of the land and lifelong farming skills, Nick and Taylor set out to create truly unique small batch spirits using certified organic grains that they grow themselves. Seeded, cultivated, harvested, stone-milled, distilled, and bottled on farm, these spirits embody a true sense of place and time, tended from the soil to your glass.

Certified Organic grains grown right here on our farm including rye, corn, oats, and barley – will form the backbone of our distilled spirits.
GIN – Our gin includes certified organic juniper, herbs, flowers, and other botanicals. Some are wild-harvested from our fields. Our High Drive Gin can be found across Vermont in 802 spirit stores.
WHISKEY – Our whiskey program, including rye and bourbons, will launch after appropriate conditioning and barrel-aging. Some of our small barrels will be ready in the spring of 2025
