A clear bottle of Broad Branch Nightlab 1.0 on a wooden tray next to a glass of the Cocktail: Winston Collins which has a yellow-ish tint and slices of cucumber and a sprig of rosemary inside.

Broad Branch Distillery harkens back to Old World craft heritage and artisanal Blue Ridge Mountain ancestry, which includes a commitment to the land and utilizing the finest ingredients for their exceptional spirits. Distilled in small batches in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, each spirit is tempered and aged to preserve and enhance the delicate, defining aromas and flavors. For the Winston Collins cocktail, distiller Joe Tappe utilizes their Nightlab 1.0 white whiskey, combined with rosemary simple syrup, cucumber, and a squeeze of lime for bright and refreshing balance.
