1220 Spirits
Look Ahead, Never Behind.
St. Louis Crafted Spirits & Liqueurs for Tastemakers, Cocktail Shakers & Ice Breakers
1220 Spirits is a botanically-inspired craft distillery founded by the exceptionally talented brewers at 4 Hands Brewing Company in St. Louis, Missouri. Founded in 2018, the distillery was created to complement the brewery, exploring the relationship and inspirations between a traditional brewery and craft distillery. Like 4 Hands Brewing Company’s approach to brewing beer, 1220 Spirits leads with creativity. What started as a dream to make gin has turned into a portfolio of more than a dozen products in less than five years. Whether we are using unique ruby port and orange bitters barrels to age gin and amaro, incorporating interesting botanicals and fruits like bergamot orange and sumac in our New World gins, or creating the freshest canned cocktails with flavors like lavender, ginger and watermelon, we act boldly while maintaining the sophistication of our spirits.
Find our hand-crafted spirits and liqueurs at your local liquor store or savor these fine spirits at 4 Hands Brewing Company in St. Louis, Mo. Sip them neat or enjoy them in a hand-crafted or canned cocktail.
