500 names for craft distilleries, from copper-still and cooperage names like Worm Tub Distillery and Angel's Share Stillhouse to founder houses such as Halloway & Sons Distillers and gin, rum and agave makers like Sloe Lane Gin Co.

About Distillery names

A distillery name has to work in two places at once: over the door and in small type at the bottom of every label. Most follow a few patterns. Founder houses carry a surname (Halloway & Sons Distillers). Place names borrow a creek, hollow, harbor or island, since water and place are part of a distiller's story. Trade names come from the equipment and the warehouse: pot still, lyne arm, worm tub, mash tun, stave, char and rickhouse.

Every entry here is the name of the business, not of a bottle. The closing word sets the tone: Distillery is neutral, Distilling Co. and Stillhouse lean American, Distillers suits a family or a partnership, and Gin Co., Rum Works or Agave Co. tell visitors what is in the still. The list mixes copper and cooperage names, water and landscape names, Scottish and Irish style houses, founder names, American whiskey houses, makers of gin, rum, vodka, agave spirits, moonshine and fruit brandy, and plain modern city names.

Words such as Scotch, bourbon and tequila are protected terms with legal definitions, so none of these names presents itself as one of them. Keep that in mind for your own: a place-style name is fine as flavor, but it should not suggest an origin your spirit does not have.

How to choose Distillery names

  • Decide what the name must cover. A name with Gin or Rum in it is clear today but awkward if you add a whiskey in five years, while Distillery, Distilling Co. and Spirits leave room.
  • Say it across a noisy tasting room and spell it once. Trade terms like lyne arm or dunnage make good tour stories, but visitors still need to find you afterward.
  • Do not borrow a place you are not in. Regional words, Glen and Loch compounds and protected terms can mislead buyers and cause trouble at label approval.
  • Search before you commit: the trademark register, your state business records, the federal label registry and a plain web search. Check breweries and wineries too, because drinks names clash across all three.
  • Look at it small. The business name sits in small type on every label, so short names with clear letter shapes hold up best.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between Distillery, Distilling Co. and Stillhouse?

They describe the same kind of business, and the difference is tone. Distillery is the neutral form, Distilling Co. reads like an American company name, and Stillhouse is an older word for the building that holds the still, as in Sour Mash Stillhouse or Laurel Fork Stillhouse.

Why are there no bottle names like bourbon or single malt here?

This page names the business. Names for bottles and expressions belong on a label, and the whiskey and alcohol name pages cover those. A house name such as Mash Bill Whiskey Co. or Thistle Burn Whisky Co. can then sit above any number of releases.

Should a distillery name use whisky or whiskey?

Scotland, Canada and Japan mostly write whisky, while Ireland and the United States mostly write whiskey. The list follows that habit: Scottish style names such as Heather Moor Whisky Co. drop the e, and Irish and American style names such as Bog Oak Whiskey Co. keep it.

Can I use one of these names for a real distillery?

Treat them as starting points. Nobody has compared them with existing distilleries, so search the trademark register, your state business records and the federal label registry before you use one. Ask a lawyer if a name comes close to another drinks brand.
