Quality

Innovation

Authenticity

Philanthropy

Style

Our passion for distilling and drinks started as what you might call a "hobby." Experimenting with the science of fermentation on whatever fruits and grains we could get our hands on. Twelve years later and plenty of experimentations under our belt we took our vision for creating unique flavors to the next level. We bought the cool old building in Clarendon Hills and we converted it into our first production distillery. We are obsessed with creating flavorful spirits of the highest quality in the most efficient way possible. Everything we do is in pursuit of that goal. We seek to incorporate unique raw materials, tools and processes in pursuit of creating our spirit and drinks.

Meet the Team

  • Brandon Getchel - Employee #1

    Almost certainly a difficult child. He still likes to do things the hard way but it’s (almost) always for a good reason.

  • John "Dutch" Keeley - Employee #2

    Legend has it by age 5 he could lift the family couch. It would be the first of many remarkable feats of young John's life. He's traversed the Appalachian Trail solo and brings that grit, tenacity and determination to Tierra.

  • Jason Rusk - Coffee Guy

    He's our real life Jim Halpert. He'll make sure you are caffeinated and ready to tackle the day. Anything café related is this man's business!
