Forthave Spirits distillery was founded by two friends: painter Aaron Sing Fox and writer/producer Daniel de la Nuez. They use only plant-based ingredients in their spirits. Their library of botanicals includes over 200 different types of herbs—roots and barks, leaves and flowers, and fruits and seeds—and from that collection, their spirits are born. They macerate in stainless steel tanks, use no artificial filtering agents or artificial colors, and the only sweeteners used are raw: organic turbinado sugar or raw honey from Upstate New York. Almost all the of the ingredients are USDA organically certified; the few that aren’t have either been grown by small farmers without certification or wild foraged.
