WORKSHOP DETAILS
Thornton Distilling Co. occupies Illinois’ Oldest Standing Brewery, built in 1857. A “Dead Drop” is a bygone prohibition-era bootlegging term. Often times barrels of whiskey would be left at a secret location for pick-up at a later date when the coast is clear. Because of our building’s colorful colorful history and long tradition of malt fermentation, we are picking up from where our predecessors left off. And thus Dead Drop Spirits was born. This shared sense of history and tradition informs our process and our direction. We practice traditional distilling methods, utilizing the best ingredients possible, and never take shortcuts or compromise quality.
