About Us

The pileated woodpecker on our logo is one tenacious bird. He beats his head over and over on a seemingly impervious surface, knowing a tasty nugget will result given the right amount of work. Opening this distillery felt like that at times; it was very much worth it! We are over two years old now and we are gaining steam. 

​

We are proud to present our line of award winning, carefully crafted artisan spirits. We know you will enjoy.

Solid Gold Rum

40% Alc. by Vol.

Solid Gold Rum Rested on Toasted Oak Cubes starts out as our Sterling Silver Rum.  After a double distillation, though, it rests with toasted American oak cubes to give it a beautiful golden color and a lot of flavor. Hints of vanilla, butterscotch, and caramel soften this spirit. It mixes great in a Tiki cocktail.

Goodland Gin was created to honor Goleta's agricultural roots.  It is a balances blend of citrus, floral, and piney juniper. 14 botanicals dance together to create Goodland Gin's enticing aroma and flavor.   It makes a great dry martini, a beautiful negroni and a powerful gin and tonic.

Goodland Barrel Rested Gin

This spirit scored a Double Gold in the John Barleycorn Awards Spring 2020.

Orange Java Overproof Rum Liqueur

57% Alc. by Vol.

This Orange and Coffee flavored Rum liqueur is quite unique.  Sweet and unctuous in the mouth and full of flavor.  It starts out as our Sterling Silver Rum but then rests for a long while with organic local oranges and locally roasted coffee.  Strong in flavor and strong in potency.  It weighs in at 57% alcohol by volume. It is a wonderful substitute for Cointreau when mixing cocktails.  It also sips quite nicely chilled on ice.
