What makes a great house spirit for your bar program?

Choosing a house pour is one of the most important decisions a bar makes. It's what goes into most of your cocktails, what you recommend when someone asks for "vodka" or "gin," and what sets the tone for your entire bar program. So what makes a great house spirit? It's not just about price—though that matters. It's about finding the right balance between quality, consistency, and cost. Here's what we think about when we work with bars: **Consistency is Key** Your house pour needs to taste the same every time. Guests develop expectations, and if your vodka tastes different from one visit to the next, they'll notice. We ensure every batch meets our standards before it leaves the distillery, so you can pour with confidence. **Versatility Matters** A good house pour should work in everything from a simple vodka soda to a complex cocktail. It shouldn't overpower delicate ingredients, but it should have enough character to stand on its own. Our spirits are designed to be mixable but not boring. **Value, Not Just Price** The cheapest option isn't always the best value. A slightly more expensive spirit that makes better drinks, reduces waste, and keeps guests coming back is often the better choice. We work with bars to find the right balance for their program. **Support When You Need It** A great house spirit comes with great support. We're here to help with training, menu development, and anything else you need to make your bar program successful. Because when you succeed, we succeed.
