Tarpon Springs Distillery
The story of Tarpon Springs Distillery is just beginning. My name is Barry Butler. My lovely wife, Lisa, and I share a passion for craft whiskey. Over the years we have visited dozens of distilleries around the country. We really enjoy talking to the distillers and sampling their products. Many times we have talked about starting our own craft distillery based on some unique recipes I might know a thing or two about. After years of talking, we finally decided to go for it.
We renovated a historic sponge warehouse in Tarpon Springs, FL, just a couple of blocks from the world famous Sponge Docks. I am now making liquor in our 500-gallon still (Amazing Grace) with my production team, manager Jason Beaulieu and our trusty still hands Matt Danskin and Evan Roarke.
Lisa and Jessi Rogers, our general manager, are in charge of the tasting room, the music beach, and special events. As of December 21st, 2019, we are offering tours, tastings and a free craft cocktail when you visit us. Our initial offerings include Gramling Woods Moonshine, Papou’s Ouzo and Anclote Gin. In 2020, we will be launching several specialty gins, a smoked rye whiskey and a unique coffee based spirit. From there, we are limited only by our imagination.
Lisa and I invite you to be a part of our excellent adventure.
