Swing by Stoneham on May 12th from 4-7pm and join Phil Prichard of Prichard’s Spirits as he tastes you through his word class spirits, lends his knowledge and signs bottles for you!

When you taste Prichard’s Fine Rum or our premium whiskey, you’ll immediately be able to distinguish our product from the large batch, mass produced products that line the store shelves. Prichard’s Distillery hand crafts our American distilled spirits in small batches. Our quality rums and whiskeys are distilled in copper pots and stored in 15-gallon to 53-gallon charred white oak barrels to allow for the best possible flavor.

Crafting our Tennessee whiskey and rum products is a hands-on process that is a delicate mix of science and art. There are many benefits to artisan distilling in small batches. We craft our spirits in small batches, so we have complete control over each and every bottle of Prichard’s that leaves our distillery. Fermentation, distilling, aging, blending and bottling are all completed under the direct supervision of the master distiller. This type of oversight can only be maintained in small batches. It allows us to deliver the perfect flavors for our whiskeys and rums.

Our fine spirits are an accurate recreation of America’s first distilled beverages. Our rums, made from sweet American molasses from the plantations of Louisiana, and our whiskeys are not unlike those produced by Benjamin Prichard in Davidson County, Tennessee way back in the early 1800’s. Prichard’s American Spirits, distilled in traditional copper pot stills using the techniques of the master distillers from a time long ago, preserve a traditional taste not found in the commercially produced spirits we have come to know today.

At Prichard’s we love what we do, and we believe it shows in our product. While we have added a few new flavors, our rums and whiskeys are distilled using techniques and recipes that have been in our family for hundreds of years.
