Distilling Process

At the heart of the Dream Machine Distillery is an iStill 200 that was built in the Netherland's by the leading craft distilling manufacturer in the world. The iStill 200 sheds old technology (think copper still) and brings the craft into the 21st Century with stainless steel and a host of technology innovations that come together to produce world class spirits.

KEY FEATURES OF DREAM MACHINE'S STILL

The still’s Air Pressure Control unit measures current air pressure and adapts the cut points for heads, hearts, and tails, to secure spirit reproducibility. This allows Dream Machine to make the same product, consistently, batch to batch.

Automated Cuts Management allows our distillers to dial in the flavor profile of our products.

The Reflux Capacitor boosts total column performance by 20% resulting in a more stable run, energy savings, and higher production rates.

Dream Machine’s still is equipped with Automated Cleaning and Sanitation feature that allows our distillers to spend less time cleaning and more time creating great products.

The still includes Copper Foam Technology inserted low in the column and that takes care of any sulfur contamination without any of the downsides of a completely copper column.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long have you been open?

We are on our 17th year of crafting beverages and experiences. The distillery is our newest addition, but we’ve been working on it since 2021. Many months of testing and preparation went into the products we serve today!

How long does it take to make a spirit?

It takes us 6 weeks to 2+ years to have a spirit ready and in the bottle. Vodka, Gin, and Liqueur are the quickest to produce versus whiskey, bourbon, agave, rum, and brandy which need to ferment like our beers and wines before they are distilled. As a result, our barrel aged products will release later.

All distilled spirits are clear. Why?

All spirits are clear following distillation because the alcohol is evaporated which leaves behind the color molecules. Because of this, only barrel aging or natural fruit and nut extractions add color.

Why do you barrel age spirits and how long does it take?

Aging spirits in oak barrels adds color and distinct flavors. Flavors can include vanilla, tobacco, graham cracker, and almond. It is also Federally mandated that whiskey (bourbon) age at least 2 years.

How are you serving your new spirits?

You can order all our small batch spirits as a sample, neat, or on the rocks but we also offer a wide array of mixers made onsite like all of our beverages. We have a great line-up of crafted cocktails that were tested and approved by our team and regular guests over many months. You can also order all spirits with any mixer we offer often referred to as a ‘shot and pop’.

What was your first barrel aged product to release?

Due to needing less time in the barrel both for taste and by law it was our Hearth Brandy, then Reposado Agave Spirit. Next up will be our Rye Whiskey and dark Rum. All barrel aged products at Dream Machine adorn an airplane label representing advancement and complexity.
