Our Story
New Jersey Beginnings
Claremont Distilled Spirits, Inc., an award-winning distillery located in Hamburg, New Jersey, has been crafting exceptional spirits since May 2014. From the start, our mission has been to prove that world-class spirits can be proudly produced in the ‘Garden State’ using locally sourced ingredients. Our premium vodka is made from New Jersey potatoes, while many of our flavored spirits highlight the state’s agricultural richness—featuring fruits like blueberries and peaches from one of the nation’s largest fruit-producing regions.

First New Jersey Gold Medal Winner
Claremont Vodka was the first craft spirit produced in New Jersey to be awarded a gold medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition. This competition is the most highly regarded spirits competition in the world. Claremont Vodka is the only New Jersey spirit to be awarded this prestigious award twice. In addition, Wine Enthusiast Magazine named Claremont Vodka a Top 100 Spirit of 2016 giving it a 93 point rating. Our NJD Moonshine has also been recognized as a superior product being awarded a silver medal at the Denver International Spirits Competition. Our Tracks & Rails Bourbon has proudly earned two Gold medals and a prestigious Double Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
Rooted in sustainability and community, we embrace a farm-to-glass philosophy that strengthens the bond between the land, local farmers, and the spirits we create.
