History

Tamworth Distilling was founded in 2015 by Steven Grasse. The distillery was built on the grounds of the former Tamworth Inn, with Tamworth Garden (formerly a venue for theater, music, and boxing matches) serving as the barrelhouse.[2]

The distillery's products include vodka, rye whiskey, eau de vie, gin, applejack, liqueurs and infused vodkas.[3][4] It operates under a wilderness-to-bottle model and is known for using foraged ingredients in its spirits.[1]

Since its founding, the distillery has produced themed spirits such as Eau de Musc, a whiskey flavoured with castoreum.[5][6] In 2015, the distillery produced Skiklubben Aquavit as part of a fundraiser to restore the Nansen Ski Jump. An updated recipe of the aquavit was made available in 2018.[7] In October 2019, the distillery released Graverobber Unholy Whiskey, which was produced using maple syrup from cemetery maple trees.[8]

Beginning in 2017, a selection of products from Tamworth Distilling became available in Philadelphia via the retail shop and bar Art in the Age.[9]

In March 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic, the distillery began producing hand sanitizer which was donated to the Tamworth Community Nurse Association.[10]
