Podcasts about artisan spirits

SummaryIsco Spirits is not your typical distillery. Founded by Manya Rubenstein and located in an old steel mill in Providence, Rhode Island, Isco stands as the city's first distillery since Prohibition. With deep ties to the local artisan community and a commitment to sustainable practices, Isco produces a range of unique, handcrafted spirits. Their products, like Structural Vodka and Blue Velvet Bourbon, aren't just drinks—they're stories in a bottle. By incorporating elements of regenerative farming and coastal inspiration, Isco creates products that reflect the history and natural beauty of Rhode Island, blending creativity, craftsmanship, and eco-consciousness into every sip.Manya's entrepreneurial journey is a masterclass in adaptability. Opening the distillery in March 2020, right as the world was shutting down due to the pandemic, required bold pivots and quick thinking. Originally designed to welcome guests into a tasting room experience, Isco quickly shifted to making hand sanitizer and engaging with customers through direct sales. From that challenging beginning, Isco evolved into a brand known for its imaginative offerings like Ostrata, a vodka distilled with oysters, and Sea Flow gin, which incorporates seaweed as a key ingredient. These products are inspired by Rhode Island's coastal heritage and highlight Manya's goal of using spirits as a medium for storytelling.At the heart of Isco is a commitment to sustainability, innovation, and community. From supporting local farms and reusing spent grains to crafting spirits that honor the ocean, Isco's approach extends far beyond production. Their “Night of Cheer” holiday event showcases their passion for giving back, collecting donations for local causes while bringing people together for a festive experience. With plans for expanded distribution and new products on the horizon, Manya's vision remains clear: create exceptional, thoughtful spirits that spark connection, tell stories, and celebrate the place they call home. TakeawaysResilience Sparks Innovation: Isco's ability to pivot during the 2020 pandemic shows how entrepreneurs can turn adversity into opportunity, finding creative ways to stay relevant and connected with their audience.Sustainability Creates a Competitive Edge: By focusing on regenerative farming, eco-friendly production, and coastal conservation, Isco isn't just making spirits—they're building a movement. Their use of oysters, seaweed, and farm-grown grains differentiates them in the competitive distilling industry.Storytelling as a Brand Strategy: Isco Spirits tells a larger story through its products, branding, and community events like "Night of Cheer." By weaving local history, environmental awareness, and artistry into each spirit, Isco builds a deeper emotional connection with consumers.

Kevin Lemp is the President and CEO of 4 Hands Brewing Co., 1220 Artisan Spirits and Withered Oak. Kevin began his career in the beverage industry with Gallo Wines in the early 2000s before going on to  start three of Missouri's most successful craft beverage brands. Now the owner of 4 Hands Brewing Co. (est. 2011), 1220 Artisan Spirits (est. 2018), and the recently launched aged spirits line Withered Oak (est. Oct. 2021), Kevin Lemp has masterfully traversed the beverage landscape and has no plans of stopping soon. Kevin was driven by a desire to make high-quality, approachable craft beer, but his primary motivator was to build a community around beer and spirits that gives back to its employees and the city of St. Louis. Kevin took everything he learned about macro-level brand creation, team building, and wholesale relationship management from Gallo Wines and applied it. From the very beginning, he has offered healthcare to employees and offered a 401K by year four. In 2016, Kevin launched “City Wide,” a giveback beer that has raised more than $250,000 for over 20 different St. Louis non-profit organizations. In 2018, Kevin expanded the 4 Hands Brewing Co. brand for the first time with the launch of 1220 Artisan Spirits, and again in 2021 with the launch of Withered Oak, an aged spirits line. Kevin's philosophy is to provide a customer with whatever they're feeling like drinking at that moment within the 4 Hands family of brands portfolio, whether it's a canned cocktail or a gin and tonic, a bourbon on the rocks, a hazy IPA or something nonalcoholic, coming soon with their new line of nonalcoholic, CBD beverages launching this summer called “Free Space.”Support the show
