Short Path Distillery was founded in Everett, Massachusetts in the summer of 2015. They opened their doors with just two signature spirits, and have since crafted more than 25 spirits that showcase their unique approach to spirit development and commitment to quality and community.
“Short path distillation” is a technical name used in the scientific community for the type of distilling done in a pot still. The shorter the path between where the wash evaporates and where it condenses, the more flavorful and complex the distillate. A “short path” also represents our commitment to sourcing local ingredients as much as possible, and maintaining a strong connection to our community.
Join Short Path Distiller, Zachary Robinson for a spirited overview of this fantastic local distillery along with an array of spirits perfect for Thanksgiving or any seasonal cocktailing or straight sipping.
About Zachary Robinson:
A chemist who utilizes his lab experience to better understand flavor compounds and distillation methods to create unique, flavorful spirits. In the Spring of 2010 Zack travelled to Normandy and visited Chateau d’Englequeville. Standing in the barn of the chateau tasting different Calvados and Pommeau, he knew then and there that he would become a distiller someday. Zack sports a diverse background in chemistry, education, and history. After earning a master's in synthetic organic chemistry from Northeastern University, Zack spent several years in the pharmaceutical industry conducting research in early drug discovery. He preferred to apply his chemistry skills to something that was more fulfilling and finally decided to pursue his dream of becoming a distiller. Zack is an innovative, diligent chemist with an ambitious devotion to creativity. Whether it’s producing a new spirit, building a bar, or drafting up plans, Zack is always constructing new ideas that push boundaries. He’s intensely passionate about leading Short Path Distillery to new heights while keeping our fundamental roots to community and quality intact.
