They Said No. So We Built It Anyway.

The liquor industry wasn’t built for people like us. We didn’t have a family distillery. We didn’t have deep pockets or industry connections. What we had was a vision: a women-owned, queer-led, unapologetically independent distillery.

From Rejection to Revolution

We didn’t inherit a legacy. We built one from scratch.

When every bank refused to fund our "type" of distillery, we turned to the people who actually give a damn—you. Thousands of backers helped us raise the capital that banks refused to lend. We became the largest crowdfunded distillery in U.S. history, not because it was easy, but because it was the only way forward.

Spirits with a Purpose.

We don’t just make spirits—we make statements.

Every bottle we produce is a rebellion against the status quo, a rallying cry for those who refuse to accept "business as usual." Whether it's resisting corporate monopolies, supporting reproductive rights, or defending democracy, we put our money where our mission is.

Our Process: Tradition, Disrupted.

When you drink with us, you’re not just buying whiskey or vodka—you’re investing in a movement.

We don’t follow tired industry playbooks. We source our grains locally, distill with meticulous care, and age our spirits to perfection. But we also curate exceptional whiskeys from the grey market, reclaiming barrels that others overlooked and turning them into something extraordinary. Because we know great things happen when you refuse to settle.

Every batch we produce—whether crafted from scratch or curated with precision—is a testament to our belief that quality and values should never be mutually exclusive.

You Make This Possible.

Republic Restoratives isn’t just a distillery. It’s a community.

We’re here because thousands of people believed in an independent, values-driven alternative to the corporate liquor industry. We are proof that when you bet on the underdog, the underdog wins.

So, if you’re tired of pouring your hard-earned dollars into the pockets of faceless conglomerates, welcome. You belong here.
