Welcome to the Distiller’s Log, the behind-the-scenes blog of Speed Shift Distilling.

Here in the Distiller’s Log, we share the real story of what it’s like to build a craft distillery from the ground up. You’ll find updates on our latest spirit releases, ingredient deep-dives, cocktail recipes we can’t stop mixing, and progress on our new tasting room coming soon to Bellingham.

We’re three friends with a shared love of classic cars, great drinks, and hours spent tinkering around the still — and this blog is where all that passion comes to life. Curious to see how it all unfolds? Kick back, pour a glass, and ride along.

Craft moonshine from Speed Shift Distillery is not the moonshine of prohibition. A dusty attic with sunlight barely filtering through a multipaned window spotlighting a copper still surrounded by barrels of shine.
