our story

in the blink of an eye...

Everything comes full circle... And now your vodka does as well. Going back to the way things were done in the old days, from the fermentation of carefully selected grapes to the distillation of small batches in pot stills, it is that time-honored tradition that truly yields a genuine taste. Now it is time to pass on that tradition to you...

Distilling has been in our family for years. From our grandparents to our parents, the love of distilling has been passed down to us. We are a family owned business who prides themselves in carrying on the legacy that was bestowed upon us. We distill our spirits from scratch and in small batches. Every single bottle that leaves Lazy Eye Distillery has gone through a process that has taken weeks of preparation and meticulous care from us. At Lazy Eye Distillery we value the word craft. We are not the biggest, but we believe that our spirits no matter how small are among the best in the world. Lazy Eye Distillery is an extension of our home. We are excited to share our passion with each and every one of you.

Since opening our doors on November 1st 2014 Lazy Eye Distillery has become the most awarded distillery in the state of New Jersey. We have received 14 medals in international spirits competitions and have been named New Jersey Distillery of the year in 2016 and 2017 at the New York International Spirits Competition. We look forward to continually improving and sharing our traditions with each and every one of you.

For the first time since Prohibition, hand-crafted vodka is being distilled here in New Jersey. Nestled in the heart of the Pinelands, the Nation’s First National Reserve, Lazy Eye Distillery believes in the virtues of old: Pride, Patience, Hard Work, and Tradition. So slow down, sit back, and take a sip... we hope you enjoy “A Taste of Nature’s Spirit”.

COVID-19 Response

On 3/19 you may have heard that we gave away free hand sanitizer to our community. We are a small company who is trying our best to make a dent during this time of crisis. We are now working with local first responders and those who are continuously putting their own health at risk in order to protect those of us who are fortunate enough to be able to stay home during these trying times. For our family, this was an easy decision. Without all of you we would never have realized our dream of starting a successful distillery. This is the least we can do.

Wishing everyone good health and to be safe!

Love,

The Lazy Eye Distillery Family
