Distillery Information

Founded as a dry community, Evanston, Illinois was the birthplace of the Women’s Temperance Movement and home to Frances Elizabeth Willard, an influential protagonist in the story of Prohibition. As the Temperance Movement approached a boiling point, abstinence slowly began to creep across the country and Willard and her league of temperance supporters turned Evanston into a stronghold.

For over 100 years, Evanston remained a dry town. It wasn’t until Paul Hletko, owner and master distiller at Few Spirits, began lobbying the town that the antiquated laws were lifted.
