St. Augustine Distillery

Connoisseurs of small-batch spirits should be easy to please with a bottle of vodka, gin, bourbon or rum from St. Augustine Distillery. If you are lucky, they will break open the bottle with you when they unwrap it. St. Augustine Distillery brought the craft-distilling movement to Florida and opened shop in the historic FP&L Ice Plant. The distillery includes a gift shop and you can buy spirits and unique products online ranging from a tiki mixer to tonic syrup to copper barware and bourbon barrel coffee.
