Our Process
The modern, discerning consumer seeks more than small volume production to be deemed craft. They demand distilling & aging expertise, best-in-class flavors, and cocktail examples. For those consumers, we produce our spirit portfolio. We are flavorists, curating grains, woods, berries, fruits, and roots to craft our award-winning products.
Sara Sergent is Alpine’s Master Distiller and the most decorated botanical distiller in America. A “Warden Rectifier” member of the coveted London Gin Guild, her botanicals are sourced from around the world and treated to 100% vapor extraction at a proprietary formula of “proof, pressure, and speed” in Park City, Utah. The results speak for themself: "Gin of the Year" Gold Medal London, 4x Top Gin Distillery by USA Today, twice awarded “Best in Class” at the TAG Awards Las Vegas, Double Gold Medal(s) awarded at Women Wine & Spirits in London, SIP Awards California and TOP50 in New York. In addition, she crafts botanical spirits for Stein Eriksen Lodge Deer Valley - named the top luxury hotel in the world, St. Regis Deer Valley, Auberge Properties, and Capital One.
Our whiskey portfolio is highly decorated and respectful of our Kentucky family history. Our grains are sourced from the finest U.S. farms, and we source Kentucky yeast to ensure that only the highest quality spirit is created. We distill on an American Pot Still and then aged in toasted, American Oak barrels. Working closely with two cooperages for our Appalachian Oak and Arkansas Oak barrels, with select toasting & char levels adjusted for our preference, we are able to craft ultra-premium whiskies that are the private collection and premier offerings for GroveXXIII, Total Wine & More, Binny’s, and numerous athletes, musicians, entrepreneurs and general whiskey connoisseurs.
