Our Spirits

In order to ensure the quality of the end product, there needs to be a combination of front-end flavor development and back-end production consistency. All of our products are crafted with the consumer in mind. We value a full flavor and smoothness that you won't find elsewhere in other spirits.

How It's Made

To Chris Richeson, owner and gold-medal-winning distiller at Chesapeake Bay Distillery, craft spirit distilling isn’t just a matter of achieving a certain flavor profile or bottling in micro-batches – it’s about the entire chain of quality control that yields a superior product.  Chris believes that you need to begin with the end product in mind, then use your skills to create a process and production method that will produce that spirit. He will tell you that in order to ensure the quality of the end product, there needs to be a combination of front-end flavor development and back-end production consistency.

Anyone can claim to make a craft spirit, but few can claim to have the necessary combination of dedication, vision, and process that leads to a superbly consistent end result. As a Master Distiller, Chris has married art and science to create craft spirits that always offer the same award-winning flavors.

Ghost Pepper Infused Vodka

(70 proof)

23_CBD_Lemon Liqueur_MockUp.png

Lemon Liqueur

(40 proof)

  • It is NOT limoncello – it is “adult lemonade” – tart, but not overly sweet and light in texture

  • Limoncello uses rind, we use pulp

  • Lazy bartender lemon drop

  • All natural, no preservatives. We recommend refrigerating for long shelf life and better taste

  • Considered a liqueur because it is less than 60 proof

  • We incorporated wild yeast and bacteria collected from Chic’s beach to yield a truly unique flavor like no other local rum

  • We produce our rum in a very sterile, clean, controlled process so it doesn’t lose flavors during fermentation.
