Big Cypress Distillery

Big Cypress Distillery was founded as a family affair. Over the years, cousins Fernando and Mark and in-law Danny spent many a holiday together, sharing experiences over cold drinks. Inspired by today’s craft movement and a glass of Triple Smoke Malt Whiskey from Corsair Distillery, Big Cypress was founded in 2015 as a Miami, FL-based craft distillery focused on distilling innovative and high-quality spirits.
The name Big Cypress name derives from an appreciation for the outdoors and an affinity for Everglades backcountry fishing. We plan to impart the same passion we share for the outdoors into our spirits. Our mission is to:
Support our communities by being environmentally responsible and sourcing our ingredients from similarly-minded local vendors;
Never compromise on quality;
Strive for innovation while respecting the tradition of American distilling;
Be transparent with respect to our process and our ingredients.
We hope that the love we have for where we’re from comes through in our craft spirits.
