History

The name Temperance has historical roots in the temperance movement and local restrictions from the late 19th century, and the area has previously been subject to strong limits on alcohol sales. Temperance Distilling Company opened in 1998 with a modest setup and one client, but quickly developed a full-service offering that includes formulation, packaging design, production, warehousing, and distribution. The 2010 move to a 65,000-square-foot facility was a central step in the company's growth and enabled expansion of both production and bonded warehousing. Today the company handles more than 100 unique products for over 60 clients and focuses on private labels and custom client solutions.

Aging and Barrel Types
