ABOUT

true craft distilling

Vista Gin was born out of a desire to bring true craft distilling to the Florida market and beyond. Given the success of craft brewing across the nation, craft distilling is poised to do the same. Given the lack of craft distilleries in the marketplace, Vista Gin is positioned to fill a rising demand.

After years of experiencing lackluster, average gins we felt something was missing. This lead us to years of experimenting with different flavor profiles and methods until we noticed a pattern emerging. The gins we created had a bolder and smoother finish than the traditional gins already on the shelf. We knew then our product could stand out in a resurgent spirit category.
