About

Founded by Andrea Montgomery in 2018 to honor the memory of her son Skyler Montgomery (1995-2016), a talented moonshiner who passed away at 21. Named after Skyler’s love of The Grateful Dead and his passion for white lightning, this New Cumberland, PA distillery opened on what would have been Skyler’s 23rd birthday, transforming a former cigar bar into a premier spirits destination that celebrates his legacy through handcrafted vodka, rum, gin, and flavored whiskeys.
