Oh no – District Made Spirits (originally One Eight Distilling) is for sale (will stay open for retail & distribution for now) and has closed their tasting room in Ivy City

Published October 17, 2023 at 1:15PM | Updated October 17, 2023 at 2:20PM

1135 Okie Street, NE opened here back in January 2015 originally One Eight Distilling before changing brand to District Made Spirits

As a big gin drinker and a big fan – this is a huge bummer. District Made‘s Co-Founder and CEO, Alex Laufer, tells me that they are looking to sell the distillery and have closed their beautiful tasting room in Ivy City. They will continue to distribute and stay open for retail until the holidays and are hoping to open the tasting room for one last bash.

STAY TUNED.
