Our Story


A humble genius and a tired farmer sit together with a glass full of two minute old hooch, dismantling the flavor and attitude of a familiar recipe. Rapscallion Spirits is the distilled result of nonconformity, unmatched flavor found in familiar contradictions where revolution collides with purpose.
