STARK DISTILLERY
Stark's Evolution
Into a Distillery
We Combine Our Recipes
With Our Emphasis On Brewed
Comfort And Relaxation
Our Process
Made in a 180-gallon copper still, Stark spirits are produced from distilled water and only the highest-quality grains hand-selected from around the globe. Filtered through coconut husk, the smoothness of our vodka continuously receives rave reviews whether mixed into your favorite cocktail or enjoyed on the rocks. Similarly, bourbon lovers can’t seem to get enough of the Stark brand!
Maybe it’s the gravity filter filling process we utilize? By eliminating the traditional pumping method, Stark vodka, rum, and bourbon all maintain their natural, handcrafted flavors with the utmost integrity. We never use added minerals or shortcuts here at The Stark Distillery.
Our History
Because we love keeping our customers on the edge of their seats in anticipation of what’s next, we ventured out from the world beer. In 2016, The Stark Distillery became the first legal distillery in Manchester in over 150 years. With help from a few local distillers, we learned the tricks of the trade with native New Hampshire flair and technique, to create some of the finest distilled spirits in the area.
So fine, in fact, that our bourbon whiskey has been awarded first place in several regional competitions, stomping out nearly 30 other contenders.
Our Selection
Like our beer, at Stark Brewing Company, we have spirits for all tastes. Creating unique Manchester drinks with our very own vodka, rum, and bourbon, you’ll never be disappointed with the selection on hand. Distilled in-house with only the finest ingredients, the fresh, smooth taste of Stark spirits is perfect on the rocks or combined in your beverage of choice.
Heck, our customers love our spirits so much we’ve taken it to the next level (again). Known for the best brewpub food in Manchester – be sure to check out our Bourbon Brisket Sandwich or Stark Vodka Pasta, which incorporates our in-house spirits with a mouth-watering experience that has people coming back time and time again.
Stark Vodka
Whether you’re a fan of vodka or not, you won’t want to miss Stark Vodka. Our 80 proof, record-breaking, handcrafted with grain vodka is filtered through Southeast Asian burnt coconut shells for two days. The slow drip, gravity-fed process provides an experience like no other – the ultimate smoothness with a hint of sweetness and ZERO burn that many have become accustomed to with traditional vodkas.
Available in-house for $29.99/bottle or at 27 New Hampshire state liquor stores.
Stark Handcrafted Bourbon
Whether you prefer your bourbon on the rocks or in our signature old fashioned, Stark Bourbon delivers an experience you have to try to believe. Our award-winning, 100 proof bourbon is an extremely smooth experience with smokey oak flavors that combine seamlessly with hints of vanilla and caramel.
Available in-house for $59.99/bottle or at 24 New Hampshire state liquor stores.
Stark Rum
If you’re looking for an old-world experience, Stark Rum is where it’s at. Crafted with 100% molasses - like the pirates used to do it, our rum is distilled then aged in our bourbon barrels. The unique process provides a natural golden hue with a hint of smokiness. At 80 proof, this rum is perfect on the rocks or combined with your favorite frozen cocktail.
Available in-house for $29.99/bottle or at 24 New Hampshire state liquor stores.
Stark Coconut Rum
Created using the same process as our original Stark Rum, our coconut blend provides an added surprise for those needing a tropical escape. Be sure to look closely as you’ll see pieces of real coconut floating around the bottle. Nothing but the finest, most authentic ingredients here!
Available in-house for $29.99/bottle or at 24 New Hampshire state liquor stores.
