Timber Creek Distillery (Crestview, FL)

The Timber Creek Distillery is located on a family farm in Crestview, Florida, hidden on over 1400 acres, where they take great pride in hand making and hand bottling every bottle. Aaron Barnes and his business partner, Camden Ford, take the greatest care of the fruits and grains to preserve and extract the purest flavors. Barnes uses batch distillation to create his spirits, using a custom-designed pot still, “thumper,” and a copper worm condenser to allow the bold favors of their raw ingredients to shine through.

More About Timber Creek:

WE USE LOCAL INGREDIENTS

The Florida Panhandle and Gulf Coast have some fantastic local crops. For our Vodka and Whiskeys, we use local Red Soft Winter Wheat, local Yellow #2 Dent Corn, and local Florida 401 Black Rye. For our Rums, we use the best Gulf Coast Cane Molasses from right down the road in Louisiana. Next summer, we will begin to also incorporate many of our local fruits including: Strawberries, Blueberries, Plums, Peaches, and Muscadines. We will use these in our Brandies and also as flavorings for our other products.
