Award-Winning Spirits
Southern Living Magazine
“Having our Banyan Reserve Vodka named the best vodka in the South by Southern Living isn’t just a win for St. Petersburg Distillery,” said founding member of the St. Petersburg Distillery, Dominic Iafrate Sr. “It is awin for the city, and a testament to the artisanal spirit of our local business owners.”
Dominic Iafrate Sr. and his sons, Steve and Dominic Jr., launched the St. Petersburg Distillery in 2014. The men wanted to start a business that reflected the city’s rich culture, and decided that turning their genuine interest in artisan distilling into a company was the best way to do so. Since its inception, the Iafrates have dedicated the distillery’s branding, flavors and bottles to the reflection of St. Petersburg’s rich past and bright future.
Our Ingredients
We pride ourselves in utilizing locally-sourced ingredients fresh from the Florida soil. We take immense pride in supporting our local agriculture. From Temple Oranges from Polk and Pasco county from sweet corn from Okeechobee, nothing gets more fresh than our ingredients. This calls for some of the freshest and most robust flavored spirits around.
Copper Stills
To this day, we use historic, handcrafted copper pot stills that were produced in the early 1930’s by EB Badger and Sons Co. from Boston, Massachusetts.
St. Petersburg Distillery houses three 500 gallon stills, one 400 gallon still, one 1,000 gallon finishing still, two 5,000 gallon mash tanks, and four 5,000 gallon fermenters. Each of these pieces of equipment plays a key role in the flavors each of our spirits embody.
Distilling Process & Filtration
Our distilling and filtration processes are intricate and thoughtful, with our pot distilled spirits handmade, batch by batch. This results in some of the most premium, cleanest, and smoothest tasting spirits like our Banyan Reserve Vodka distilled 6x with an 8x charcoal filtration process — crisp with every sip.
Craftmanship
We continually strive to hone in and carefully develop our skills as craft distillers, so we can continue to serve our community with the spirits they enjoy.
Combining local ingredients with strategic processes and passion that knows no bounds, we believe our craftsmanship results is something unique: distinctive spirits that embody the essence of the true St. Pete spirit.
