Damaged Goods Distilling Co. is the brainchild of Tim Laferla and Pia Papenfuss – an acclaimed cocktail bartender and a fine-dining chef who are on a mission to prove that spirits made with imperfect ingredients don’t have to be anything less than perfect. Where others saw waste citrus husks from juicing, apple pulp from cider making and misshapen bananas from Carnarvon, they saw the base for a citrus-forward gin, a crushable apple aperitivo and a clean and creamy vodka.

They’re not trying to recreate the same spirits you’re used to, though. They’re aiming for even better. Damaged Goods Distilling Co. unique ingredients and innovative distilling techniques create traditional taste profiles with a delightful twist. And you won’t believe they ever came from waste. They’re all about pushing boundaries, not only with their recipes but also with their operations across the board, including at our close-to-zero-waste distillery. Now, drinking the highest-quality spirits and making a sustainable choice don’t have to be mutually exclusive. Cheers to that!
