James River Distillery

We are located in the city of Richmond, the capital of Virginia. The James River flows directly through the city and much of Richmond’s spirit revolves around the river. The amazing talent of Richmond in food, drink and the arts, not to mention the beauty of the river and it’s parks, provide ever increasing recreational activities. Groups dedicated to preserving and taking care of all that Richmond has to offer have made our area better than ever.
Just as gin is experiencing a renaissance, so too is the city and the river. All three have a very rich history and we hope to help promote each as Richmond’s premier distillery. We pay homage to this history and spirit in the names of our distillery and our flagship gin, Commonwealth.
