History

Standard Wormwood Distillery has been driven by a radical idea since 2006: reinvent classic spirits through bitters—especially wormwood. Free from absinthe mythology, wormwood is made available as bitters, unlocking complexity. Through years of experimentation, they developed a completely new way of distilling with wormwood. The wormwood is grown on their own farm in New York's Orange County, which powers an innovative distillation method that removes bitterness and reveals layers of complexity, both familiar and entirely new. For more than 20 years they have been making spirits, vermouth, aperitifs, amari, liqueurs and bitters in Brooklyn, NY. They are the only distillery and full-service cocktail bar—perhaps in the world—that makes every ingredient in-house. The result is spirits and drinking experiences that reveal what lies hidden within.
