The Art of Distilling, Grain to Glass
Barber Lee Spirits is a small, craft distillery that specializes in harder to make, unique, and delicious spirits. We are a grain to glass distillery: all of our products are fermented, distilled, aged, and bottled under our roof.
We use the finest ingredients to create our expressive whiskies, apple brandy, rum, and absinthe.
Visit the Distillery
We are open to the public Wednesday – Sunday for Tastings, Tours, and Cocktails! Enjoy a flight of our spirits, and explore our full cocktail menu.

Who We Are
Two families brought together by their mutual love for craft spirits and the true art of distillation. The Barbers and the Lees started Barber Lee Spirits in 2017 in an old, brick warehouse built in 1910 in Petaluma, CA – a historic town in Sonoma County.
Here they use the finest malted rye, heirloom corn, raw sugar cane, and organic herbs and fruits to craft their expressive spirits. Traditional methods and sustainability are a large part of the Barber Lee process.
