WE ARE TRAVELING
DISTILLERS
Liba Spirits is a distilling company with a sense for adventure. Cofounders Colton Weinstein and Devon Trevathan are lifelong distillery professionals who also independently love to travel. They met working at Corsair Distillery in 2016; Colton was head distiller and Devon, freshly back from a year in Taiwan, was the latest front-of-house hire. They bonded over a shared obsession with the industry and the same fervent ambition to be the best at what they do.
From their jobs in Nashville, TN, Colton and Devon crafted a business model that would allow them to pursue their greatest passion—distilling and releasing incredible spirits—while traveling the globe, accessing beautiful agriculture and regional knowledge. Every Liba spirit is tied to place, inspired by tradition, and filtered through the intuition and taste of its makers. They are memories in a bottle, meant to be a one-way ticket to a new destination.

HOW WE OPERATE
Liba Spirits are made nomadically—Colton and Devon travel
the world, renting distilleries belonging to other people. While they use distilleries that aren’t their own, they do all their own product conception,formulation, distillation, and blending. This model allows them to make location-driven spirits around the globe, contained within the same extended family of products.
We wanted to create a company that celebrates alcohol for all of its best qualities. For us, that meant championing quality raw materials, passionate producers and their techniques, and opportunities to gather together and swap stories over a good drink.
Ours is not the typical craft distillery origin story. There were no other careers before this one for either of our founders, no homebrewing operation that sparked an idea of “what if I opened an alcohol production facility?” There has only ever been commitment, passion, and a lifelong pursuit to make extraordinary spirits.
