Lassiter Distilling Company
We are a two-person company. No employees, no fancy marketing budgets, no venture capital, angel funding or bank loans. No experience, really. Just two aspiring entrepreneurs with an idea and the dedication (or foolishness) to carry it from concept to reality.
After taking a long look at our lives, we decided to start a distillery because we live for good drinks and wanted to experience the ups and downs of entrepreneurship.
After studying both rum production methods and federal, state and local regulations for years, we moved from our home in Chicago to Knightdale, near where the Lassiter family is originally from. We opened our doors in 2016, and the rest, as they say, is history. We released three rums in our first 18 months in business, and won four international spirits awards from acclaimed blind tasting competitions. We are small, but we are mighty!
With recent law changes in our state, we have also opened up our very own tiki bar right inside the distillery: The Cove on First!
