Copper Bottom Distillery

Jeremy Craig didn't plan on becoming a distiller — he was on a family vacation in Vermont when he peered through a window at a small craft distillery and, in that moment, four people walked out knowing exactly what they were going to do with the rest of their lives. A decade later, he's the co-founder and head distiller of Copper Bottom Craft Distillery in Holly Hill, Florida — Volusia County's first licensed craft distillery — and the reigning champion of Discovery Channel's Moonshiners: Master Distiller Season 7. His story is about chemistry meeting craft, a family that showed up, and a stubborn refusal to cut corners.
