In
2013, Chris Montana started his family business with his partner
Shanelle. Du Nord Craft Spirits is a small batch distillery that produces
Whiskey,
Vodka, Liqueurs, and artisan
Gins. They mill, mash, and distill their products onsite with ingredients sourced
as locally as possible.
From 2013 the
Du Nord family has grown from their humble beginnings, advocating the diversity in the craft Alcohol community, actively recruiting the underrepresented communities of
women and racial minorities to join the Du Nord family.
Today, Du Nord is an
award-winning distillery that prides itself on
sustainable practices and uniting local
Spirit lovers with the craft. Their recent addition, a
cocktail room, was added in
2015 and features several seasonal drinks served with the products made on-site at the distillery.
Du Nord has released
six Spirits so far, each made with
non-GMO corn from the Evens’ farm. Each of Du Nord's products have been awarded at least a
silver medal from reputable international Spirits competitions like their
L'etoile Vodka and
Fitzgerald Gin (both gold medal award winners).
