Founded in 2018 in Bordeaux's Bacalan district, Bordeaux Distilling Co. brings a fresh perspective to French spirits, combining urban energy, craftsmanship, and a passion for innovation. Operating on the banks of the Garonne, this modern distillery aims to reimagine what spirits from Bordeaux can be - moving beyond its winemaking heritage to create bold, artisan gin, vodka, whisky and liqueur with authenticity and flair.
With a hybrid still (pot + column) and small-batch production, the distillery emphasises experimentation and precision. From fermenting unusual mash bills, like rye, buckwheat, or barley, to choosing premium barrels for maturation, each product reflects attention to detail and a willingness to push boundaries. Their team, including individuals with strong experience in bars and mixology, contributes to a brand identity that bridges craft spirit tradition with contemporary cocktail culture.
Transparency, sustainability and local roots are central. Bordeaux Distilling Co. develops organic spirit ranges, sources ingredients with care, matures its whiskies in on-site cellars, and maintains a connection to the whisky, gin, and bar scenes. They also host visitors and tastings - embedding experience and audience in their growth.
Whether served neat, on the rocks, or in creative cocktails, Bordeaux Distilling Co. captures the spirit of modern French craft distilling, where heritage meets bold vision, and every bottle tells a story of place, experimentation, and fine flavour.
