CH Distillery is a Chicago-based craft spirits producer focused on creating a diverse range of core and specialty beverages from scratch. Its portfolio includes an organic vodka sourced from Illinois grain, alongside a variety of other spirits that emphasize local sourcing, quality, drinkability, and value. The company operates a sizable, 50,000-square-foot distillery in the Pilsen neighborhood, equipped with extensive grain storage and maturation capabilities, including a tall vodka distillation column, reflecting its emphasis on scale within artisanal production. Founded in 2013, CH Distillery positions itself within the distillery industry as a locally rooted producer that integrates traditional methods with modern facilities. Its acquisition of Jeppson’s Malört in 2018 expanded its product line to include this wormwood-based liqueur, contributing to a broader Chicago bar scene identity. While maintaining a relatively small to mid-sized footprint, the company engages with the local community and industry through partnerships and events, underscoring its role as a regional craft producer dedicated to high-quality, locally sourced spirits.
