ISCO Spirits in Providence is the first distillery in Rhode Island’s capital since Prohibition, producing its spirits on the site of a former steel yard that is now home to a vibrant artist and maker community. Inspired by a deep passion for hands-on creation and the quality of product this allows, they distill many of their vodkas, gins and bourbons entirely from scratch. ISCO prides itself on aligning its sourcing with its ideology of sustainability—the base for their products begins with 100% organic corn from their regional farm partner, directly supporting the use of regenerative agricultural practices such as long-term crop rotations and cover crops in order to rebuild soil health, sequester carbon and keep waterways clean. The company works with local farmers in Rhode Island to repurpose its nutrient-dense production “waste” as feed for pigs and cows and employs solar panels to offset a portion of their energy usage. Their creative, artistic approach is about both seeking out the highest quality flavors and contributing to a virtuous cycle of regeneration and repair.
