 About


Philadelphia Distilling, the first craft distillery in Pennsylvania since prohibition, was founded in 2005 to create compelling spirits geared for the American palette.

At Philadelphia Distilling, our distilling team combines craftsmanship, science and skill to create a unique portfolio of premium spirits that rely on the agricultural integrity of authentically sourced grains and botanicals and the finest heritage equipment.

Hand-hammered copper pot stills from the fifth-generation Forsyth family and wooden fermentation vessels from Hall-Woodford, an iconic Philadelphia-based family business, are key points of difference for us—both in their construction value as well as the integrity of the spirits they help us to produce. We continue our batch-by-batch process, creating spirits that celebrate big, bold flavor.

We are proud to be part of our hometown’s great industrial past by setting up shop in what was once the Ajax Metal Company, smelters and founders from the late 1800’s to the mid 1940’s. Abandoned decades ago, it took us a year to prepare the 13,000 square foot warehouse for its new creative life as home to Philadelphia Distilling production facilities as well as offices, tasting room, bar, and retail store.
