From launching in March 2020 (the week COVID shut the world down) to expanding into a 12,000‑sq‑ft facility this year, Crystal explains why preserving island heritage, supporting local growers, and bootstrapping with family grit created a grassroots success story.What Exactly Is Pitorro?Puerto Rico's centuries‑old “moonshine” rum: high‑proof, cane‑based, and traditionally infused with fruits, spices, or coffee.How PRD balances legality, authenticity, and modern craft‑distilling standards.Bootstrapping Through a PandemicSelling their own homes to self‑fund the distillery, then pivoting to hand‑sanitizer production and doorstep deliveries during 2020 lockdowns.Slow‑and‑steady growth: year 1 flavor R&D, year 2 restaurant/bar placements, year 3 statewide self‑distribution.Family, Culture & ResponsibilityLearning blending techniques from her father Ángel and the island's underground maestros.Representing Puerto Rican diaspora pride in every bottle and ensuring first‑sip “legitimacy” for seasoned pitorro drinkers.New 12,000‑Sq‑Ft Facility in 2025Moving from a 2,000‑sq‑ft Frederick space to a six‑times‑larger building in Brunswick, MD—expanding production, events, and barrel programs.Advice for Aspiring Distillers“Build the ladder while you climb.” Do the research, but don't over‑analyze—some lessons only surface once you're in motion.Surround yourself with mentors and suppliers (ADI is a prime network).On Cultural Authenticity:“One taste and you know if it's real pitorro.
