The Belle Isle Distillery

|
In the early 1800’s, Belle Isle, located in Richmond, Virginia, was home to Belle Isle Manufacturing, a major supplier to the booming railroad industry. During the civil war, it began producing copper kettles which were used by soldiers during the war effort at encampments across the south. In an attempt to provide corn rations to these soldiers, bourbon production was banned, creating a perfect scenario of excess corn, copper kettles, and a need for spirit.
It was on Belle Isle that the world’s first premium moonshine was born. This was a premium spirit, distilled in Belle Isle copper kettles, that was fit for governors’ mansions, army generals and the social elite.
Today, Belle Isle Craft Spirits carries on this tradition of a Premium Moonshine, hand crafted with 100% organic corn, distilled in the finest copper stills, that pays respect to those that came before us. Drink a Smoother Spirit, Be Premium.
