St. George Spirits is an artisanal distillery located in Alameda, California that produces a range of alcoholic beverages under the direction of Master Distiller Lance Winters.〔http://www.foodgps.com/qa-with-distiller-lance-winters/〕 They are known for producing vodka, absinthe, whiskey, rum, gin, brandy, liqueurs, and a range of exotic spirits. ==History== Founded in 1982 by Jorg Rupf, a pioneer in what has become the craft distilling movement.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.stgeorgespirits.com/timeline/ )〕 Originally founded as an eau de vie distillery, St. George Spirits has steadily expanded their portfolio to include about a dozen spirits.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.stgeorgespirits.com/spirits/ )〕 In 1996, Jorg Ruph hired Lance Winters, a brewer and former nuclear scientist. One year later Jorg and Lance began distilling and aging their single malt whiskey, which was first released in 2000. In 2004 St. George Spirits moved into its current location, a airplane hangar on the former Alameda naval air station.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.stgeorgespirits.com/spirits/ )〕 In December 2007, the company produced the first commercially available American Absinthe, St. George Absinthe Verte, since the lifting of the 1912 ban on making the spirit.〔(A Liquor of Legend Makes a Comeback )〕 Since then St. George has continued to experiment with a number of spirits. Some of them have entered regular production like their California Agricole Rum, while other "flights of fancy" like their oyster, dungeness Crab, kombu seaweed, and Christmas tree spirits have remained experiments.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.stgeorgespirits.com/flights-of-fancy/ )〕 In 2010, Jorg Ruph retired from his 28 year career as master distiller of St. George Spirits. That same year St. George sold their popular Hangar One Vodka line to Proximo Spirits so that they could focus their attention on new projects, like their agricole rum, gin line, and Breaking & Entering Bourbon. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「St. George Spirits」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
