New England is known for many things and one of the most flavorful is our regional artisanal spirit crafting. In Connecticut, we do have one distillery that has historical ties to the state and is considered the ''hidden gem'' of the state that demonstrates innovation, heritage and pure passion. Located in the heart of Litchfield County, Connecticut with it's classic, picturesque New England landscape, is a landmark destination.

The historic Mine Hill Distillery is located at 5 Mine Hill Road in Roxbury, Connecticut, in an 1860 Cigar Factory with an Event Space that is the iconic 1872 Train Station. The distillery was established in 2018 and now produces Amaro, Gin, Bourbon, Rye and Vodka. Mine Hill Distillery offers both tours & spirit tastings to the public in this historic landmark and afterwards, you can relax by our waterfall or enjoy an exploration hike through the Mine Hill Preserve. They also feel very strongly about supporting the town of Roxbury and local Connecticut farmers.

Iconic actor Christopher Meloni, from ''Law & Order SVU'' & ''Criminal Intent'' (pictured above) also came on board and starred in a commercial for Mine Hill Distillery, putting the spotlight on their national expansion and their full commitment to excellence in their gin and bourbon.
