DISTILLERIES
Davis Valley Distillery
Davis Valley's Virginia Frost Vodka is an identifiable DVD product, available at ABC
stores. But the bulk of Davis Valley's products are released-with great success-
under labels of their contract partners.
L
iquor lovers throughout the
United States are enjoying the
product from Davis Valley Distillery,
headquartered in Rural Retreat, without
knowing where the spirit was born.
Those who have had the distillery's
Virginia Frost Vodka may know its
provenance if they bought it at a Virginia
ABC store or at the Davis Valley Winery &
Distillery tasting room-the only places
it's available. The vodka is made with
corn raised there on the farm and
with limestone-filtered Appalachian
mountain water. The vodka is smooth
and rich and is great for sipping or
mixing.
Note the " winery " in " Davis Valley
Winery & Distillery. " The business
started as a winery in 2000 and added
a distillery in 2012, and the distilling
business soon took an unexpected turn.
Davis Valley Distillery began
purchasing stills from another new
venture, Affordable Distillery Equipment.
The equipment vendor would send
prospective customers to Davis Valley
to see the equipment in action and the
distillery at work.
" Immediately, we had all these people
coming through who were passionate
about making whiskey, and we realized
that we had a big opportunity to fill a
niche, " explains Tom Copenhaver,
general manager of Davis Valley Distillery.
" For example, people who came with
the passion to make rum were going
to need additional products in their
tasting rooms. We made the decision
to supply the niche to craft distillers,
and that changed the direction of our
business: selling quality spirits, in bulk,
to craft distilleries. "
Ten years later, the business of making
products for other craft distillers is going
