Big Spring Spirits is a Bellefonte-based distillery featuring vodka, rum, gin, barrel-aged whiskey and tequila. The Big Spring, whose water has been voted best-tasting water in Pennsylvania, is located beside the distillery. We use this beautiful, minerally-balanced water to make our spirits, which is why our line of products is so remarkable. Come taste for yourself!

The corn, wheat, and rye that we use to produce our spirits is acquired within a 25-mile radius of the distillery and spent grains are returned to a local dairy farmer for use as cattle feed. We have been awarded LEED Gold certification, becoming just the second distillery in the country to be recognized for our environmental stewardship.  We invite patrons to visit our distillery to sample our spirits, tour our production area, and choose from our menu of over 40 award-winning craft cocktails.

Food from Belle City Bites is available Tuesday through Sunday during Tasting Room hours.
