Founded in 2014, Sugar House Distillery is a proudly independent, grain-to-glass distillery based in Salt Lake City, Utah. From day one, the distillery has focused on producing authentic, high-quality spirits using traditional methods. Every drop begins with locally sourced grains, which are milled, mashed, fermented, distilled, and bottled entirely in house. Sugar House Distillery is known for its award-winning Bourbon, Rye Whiskey, Malt Whiskey, Vodka, and innovative canned cocktails. The team includes skilled distillers, a chemist, a microbiologist, and a graduate of Heriot-Watt University in Scotland, all dedicated to perfecting each spirit. Their whiskeys benefit from Utah’s unique climate, aging in both 15-30 and 53-gallon barrels for rich, complex flavors. Unlike many brands, Sugar House does not source or repackage spirits. Tthey make everything from scratch. The distillery’s commitment to craftsmanship, sustainability, and local partnerships sets it apart. Visitors to the distillery can see the process up close and taste the difference grain-to-glass makes. Over the past 12 years, Sugar House has built a reputation for quality and integrity, earning loyal fans locally and beyond. Whether it’s a bottle of Bourbon, a 10% ABV canned cocktail, or a limited special release, every product reflects their passion for great spirits. Sugar House Distillery remains a standout in Utah’s growing craft spirits scene
