Established in 2015 from the passion and innovation of founder Derek Benham, Graton Distilling Co. was founded under Benham's Purple Brands corporation and is located in the western part of Sonoma County California. GDC is considered a one-of-a-kind brand focused on producing superior hand-crafted spirits. The distillery's continuous micro-column still was custom-built by Headfram Stills of Butte, Montana, and allows for unparalleled versatility when creating various types of spirits including gin, vodka, whiskey, and bourbon. With the help of master distiller Jeff Duckhorm, Benham has grown the brand into an internationally acclaimed producer of premium quality alcoholic beverages with a lineup that includes D. George Benham's Sonoma Dry Gin, D. George Benham's Vodka, and Redwood Empire American Whiskey - a blend of 11, 5, and 4 year old bourbons and 2 and 3 year old rye whiskies distilled in house. Exceptionally refined and expertly crafted, GDCo. is a brand that epitomizes craft spirits in a whole new and highly-curated way!
