The Family That
Distills Together…
Founded by Debbie Word, Chemist Gin was born from a small family still and many hours of moonshining with her daughter Danielle, an actual Chemist. Their unique appreciation for classic distilling and modern science led to the creation of their first spirit - a beautiful gin made with American botanicals and distilled wheat spirit. This female-led distillery strikes a perfect balance between the traditional craft and the modern American spirits movement.
Inspired by Turn of the
Century Chemists
It Might Seem Odd That Prohibition—A Movement To Ban Alcohol—Would Inspire A Distillery. But As They Say, Necessity Is The Mother Of Invention. In The Roaring 1920s, Turn-Of-The-Century Chemists Found Clever Ways To Turn Contraband Bars Into Happy-Hour Laboratories.
Our Name, Chemist Spirits, Pays Homage To Those Brilliant Minds Who Blended Curiosity With Craft. Today, We’re Refining That Same Spirit Of Invention—Crafting Gin, Whiskey, Vodka, And Specialty Spirits With Scientific Precision And A Little Appalachian Mischief Right Here In Asheville, North Carolina.
A Classic SPIRITS for Modern Cocktails
Back In The Days Of Prohibition, If You’d Uttered The Word “Mixologist,” You Might’ve Been Laughed Out Of The Speakeasy. Let’s Just Say The Cocktail Craft Has Come A Long Way—And So Have The Spirits That Define It.
At Chemist Spirits, We Honor The Legacy Of Classic Distillation While Forging Bold New Paths. What Began With A Fresh Take On American Gin—Bright, Botanical, And Inspired By The Wild Herbs Of The North Carolina Highlands—Has Grown Into A Full Line Of Fine Spirits Including Whiskey, Vodka, And Seasonal Curiosities.
That First Gin? Still A Knockout. With A Whisper Of Juniper And A Chorus Of Lemon Verbena, Cardamom, And Mint, It’s A Citrus-Forward Ode To The Southern Mountains. And It’s Only The Beginning. We Can’t Wait For You To Taste What’s Next.
