The Industrious Spirit Company Announces the Return of Blue Velvet Bourbon

Today, The Industrious Spirit Company (ISCO) announced that their Blue Velvet Bourbon will rejoin their spirits line up of Ostreida Oyster Vodka, Structural Vodka, Ornamental Gin and Patina Bourbon Barrel Aged Gin. The company’s initial experimental run of Blue Velvet was released in January 2021 and sold out in mere hours, now the wait for more is finally over.

“We are proud to bring back Blue Velvet Bourbon,” said Dan Neff and Eric Olson, Head Distillers at ISCO. “This continues to be a very special project for us. While good things take time, and bourbon generally ages for at least two years (as will most of ours), the unique nature of the corns that we used for this special project has allowed us to create something youthful yet fully expressive, showing off our passion for flavor. Our favorite way to enjoy Blue Velvet is sipped neat or on the rocks.”

This unique bourbon is created from 100% blue corn using a blend of two very special and distinct varieties—an organic strain of indigo developed in Kentucky and a landrace blue variety from Oaxaca, Mexico (“landrace” indicates a plant grown in its original region with a nearly identical genetic makeup to its wild ancestor). After being cooked and fermented (fun fact: blue corn turns pink when you ferment it due to a pH change!), ISCO carefully distills this bourbon in small batches before resting it in charred new oak barrels for six to twelve months “to taste”— their goal is to ensure the corns’ flavors remain the star of the show. A unique marriage of cultures and places, Blue Velvet boasts heaps of caramel, chocolate and vanilla flavors and a signature note of blue corn tortillas. Bottled at a whopping 100 proof to preserve the rich flavors and robust mouthfeel, it lingers for a lasting finish of toast and oak—a bourbon you won’t soon forget!

In celebration of Blue Velvet, ISCO will kick off a weekend of events beginning on Thursday, September 15 with a raucous-yet-refined VIP launch party from 5-10pm. Tickets can be pre-purchased for this beautiful evening that will include passed hors d’oeurves and luxurious bites highlighting local food producers from The East End, the opportunity to sample some as-of-yet unreleased spirits, access to tours and a raffle ticket to be entered to win a very special artist-made, one-of-a-kind Blue Velvet Bourbon bathrobe and two opulent handcrafted Blue Velvet tasseled pillows!

While ISCO created significantly more Blue Velvet than for its first release last year, this second release will certainly also sell out. First bottles will be available for purchase at the distillery that evening and over the following days.

The weekend continues with raffle sales ($3 each) throughout the weekend and culminates on Sunday, September 18 with a free, open-to-the public party from 12pm – 6pm, featuring live music by Da Huey X, food by Durks and a photobooth.

ISCO is deeply invested in creating beautiful, delicious products that tell stories about where they come from. In honor of Blue Velvet’s mash bill that blends organic blue corn from the US with a landrace blue corn from Mexico, proceeds from the raffle will be split between The American Farmland Trust https://farmland.org/about/, an organization that works to protect agricultural land, promote environmentally sound farming practices and to keep farmers on the land, and Fundación Tortilla, https://fundaciontortilla.org/nosotros, a Mexican nonprofit organization that promotes corn as a fundamental element of the culture, nutrition and economic development of Mexico via educational programs, policy reform and direct work to improve biodiversity of Mexican maize.

The Industrious Spirit Company distillery is located in the Valley neighborhood of Providence along the city’s former “Industrial Corridor.” Their production space and tasting room were once part of Providence Steel & Iron, a business that produced structural and ornamental steel for nearly 100 years. ISCO is proud to carry on this tradition of creation.

Basil & Bunny Dining Room

The General Stanton Inn has reopened its historic doors after a multimillion-dollar renovation

Following a 10-year hiatus, the historic General Stanton Inn is inviting diners back inside. New owners David and Jackie Moore are pleased to announce that the renovation and restoration of the inn’s tavern and dining rooms are complete. The General Stanton Inn reopened for dining on Wednesday, August 17.

“As a Narragansett native and University of Rhode Island graduate, I thought it was very important to protect the original colonial character and integrity of this historic Charlestown landmark, which first entertained guests in 1740,” said David Moore. “While we preserved the architecture, the building needed a major overhaul. The inn now features a state-of-the art kitchen to accommodate weddings and banquets, a refurbished fine dining restaurant and a remodeled, and very comfortable, tavern bar.” 

Located at 4115 Old Post Road in Charlestown, the General Stanton Inn rests on an old 6.78-acre horse farm, which still has original stone walls. The inn was once a gathering place between Philadelphia and Boston during the Revolutionary War, and it’s believed to have hosted George Washington, Marquis de Lafayette and Alexander Hamilton. Presidents Theodore Roosevelt and Chester Arthur were also guests of the inn.

In the Roaring 1920s, a fine dining room was added as popularity of the General Stanton Inn as a Prohibition-era speakeasy and gambling house grew. Al Capone, Diamond Jim Brady and notorious actress Tallulah Bankhead were some of the more famous guests who partied in Gatsby-like fashion into the wee hours. 

“As we renovated the formal dining room, I was drawn to the original coffered ceilings and art deco chandeliers of the period,” said Jackie Moore. “We’ve preserved that 1920s’ feel and enhanced the room with candlelight and a new sound system, which will feature soft jazz like Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong. We want our guests to have a memorable evening as they enjoy a white table setting, great food and fine wines.” 

The tavern will be open from 5-10 p.m., Wednesday-Sunday. Beginning this September, the fine dining room will be open. Sunday brunch will be served from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., followed by a traditional New England Sunday Supper, which will be served until 7 p.m.

Guests can make online reservations and preview the dining menu at thegeneralstantoninn.com or call 401-364-8888.  
Contact Sarah at events@thegeneralstantoninn.com to book weddings, banquets and large parties. The inn guest rooms will reopen later this fall.

The Industrious Spirit Company Announces First Ever Oyster Vodka Released in United States

Celebrates with Launch Party Featuring Specialty Version of Ostreida created for Bayberry Garden

The Industrious Spirit Company's Ostreida
The Industrious Spirit Company’s Ostreida

Today, The Industrious Spirit Company (ISCO) announced Ostreida, the first vodka distilled with oysters in the United States. In a world where so many products are created every day it’s rare to find a company doing something new and original. This product is a unique expression of the fundamental elements of earth and ocean, perfectly captured in a bottle.

In celebration of Ostreida, Bayberry Garden and ISCO are announcing a limited edition, small batch run of Ostreida made with a special selection of oysters from Duxbury, MA that were hand-picked for the project by Bayberry’s Executive Chef, Mike Seely. This incredibly special unique spirit will be sold exclusively in cocktails at Bayberry Garden and in bottles from the Tasting Room at ISCO.

“Our vision for our newest product was to create a perfect blend of land and sea, to capture the spirit of where we draw our energy from as a company operating out of the Ocean State. We have always had a focus on sustainability, and work with a regional regenerative farm to grow the organic corn we use for the base of our spirits—so it just made sense for us to work with oysters, one of the most sustainably farmed foods from the sea, known for their positive environmental impact (and of course their incredible flavor!)” said Manya K. Rubinstein, CEO of ISCO. “We’re thrilled to add the first vodka distilled with oysters to our roster of spirits, Ostreida brings a savory and briny seacoast minerality with a subtle hint of bivalve bouquet on the nose that mixes sublimely with our spirits’ signature buttery texture and creamy finish.”

A launch party for Ostreida featuring the version created specifically for Bayberry will be held at ISCO’s Tasting Room on January 23, 2022 from 2pm – 6pm and will feature food and oysters by Bayberry Garden, as well as ocean-themed music by Da Huey X. The party will continue from 6-9pm at Bayberry Garden with a special oyster and Ostreida focused bar menu. Those who attend both the party and the afterparty will have a chance at winning a gift basket that includes oyster shucking gear, beautiful oyster jewelry from RI-trained artist Xenos Works and hot sauce from Bayberry Garden.

“We are so excited about this collaboration between our two brands, who both care deeply about supporting sustainable local agriculture and aquaculture,” said Tom Dennen, the owner of Bayberry Garden and Bayberry Beer Hall.

To further a commitment to supporting regenerative farming practices, The Industrious Spirit Company is donating a portion of all bottle sales of Ostreida at bars, restaurants and liquor stores to GreenWave, an organization that trains and supports ocean farmers in the era of climate change by working with coastal communities to create a blue economy. In support of the same goals, Bayberry Garden will be donating a portion of Ostreida sales from the afterparty to GreenWave.

ISCO makes their vodkas, gins, bourbons and experimental spirits from scratch, giving them the latitude to be creative. The base for their products begins with 100% organic corn grown for them in the Hudson Valley, NY by a farm that uses regenerative agricultural practices such as long-term crop rotations and cover crops in order to rebuild soil health, sequester carbon and keep waterways clean. ISCO prides itself on aligning its sourcing with its ideology of sustainability. The company works with local farmers in Rhode Island to repurpose its still nutrient dense production “waste” as feed for pigs, cows and goats.

“Access to incredible, sustainably grown, super fresh oysters are one of our favorite perks of living in the Ocean State,” said ISCO’s Head Distiller Dan Neff. “To create Ostreida, we perform a distillation using our 100% organic corn neutral spirit and just-hauled-from-the-sea oysters, which allows the spirit to pick up hints of minerality and oyster flavor from the whole oyster. We let the resulting distillate rest to let the flavors meld, then gingerly bring the proof down to 80 for a smooth sipping experience.”

News Bites: Local Hand Sanitizer from: Sons of Liberty Beer & Spirits Co. and JAVA Skin Care / The Industrious Spirit Company

Sons of Liberty Beer & Spirits Co. and JAVA Skin Care Team Up To Donate Hand Cleaner To Rhode Islanders In Need

Rhode Island businesses unite as COVID-19 continues to create supply shortages

Sons of Liberty Beer & Spirits Co.

Sons of Liberty Beer & Spirits Co. (SOL) and JAVA Skin Care are packaging two thousand 50ml bottles of hand cleaner to be given away to locals on Monday, March 23rd. Craft distilleries across the country are stepping up to help as the supply of hand sanitizers has quickly diminished due to the coronavirus outbreak.

“People need it, we can make it, so it’s not even a question,” says Bryan Ricard, SOL’s marketing director. “We’re following a formula recommended by the World Health Organization which is just ethanol, hydrogen peroxide, glycerol and purified water. We definitely have plenty of the first ingredient, so we’re going to help as much as we can.” The team at Sons of Liberty isn’t sure how long COVID-19 and supply shortages will last, but the hope is to produce as many future batches as possible.

In response to the national crisis, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) waived provisions this week, giving the green light for distilleries to produce ethanol-based sanitizers. “That was huge,” Mike Reppucci, founder and president of Sons of Liberty, explained, “in times like this, you definitely don’t want to be stopped by red tape and be prevented from trying to help.” The effort of the two Rhode Island businesses has received support from many within the state, a sign of RI’s eagerness to work together amid the national emergency.

JAVA Skin Care

Sons of Liberty, with help from their friends at JAVA Skin Care, gathered the supplies needed as fast as they could. “We created a video to show folks how to make a DIY hand sanitizer out of household items when we realized people couldn’t buy it in stores,” said JAVA’s Director of Innovation, Emily O’Donnell. “Now, being able to create a hand sanitizer with SOL and give it away to the community is just amazing. We jumped at the opportunity to help and to share our packaging connections.”

Plans for larger batches are underway as Sons of Liberty seeks to help businesses as well. “We’ve been receiving calls and emails non-stop. There are so many businesses currently in operation that need a hand sanitizer to keep their staff and customers safe,” says Ricard. Sons of Liberty will donate as much as they can to the community, but to keep the operation running and producing larger amounts for businesses, they hope to only charge minimal pricing to businesses to cover some costs. They want to reiterate that they will do everything they can to accommodate everyone.

“We love our community and will do our absolute best to fulfill this need,” said Reppucci. “We just ask that everyone be patient with us as we navigate something that is very new to us.” Rhode Island businesses can request sanitizer with this form.

Free Sanitizer Pick Up 

  • Monday, March 23rd from 12-6pm
  • Peace Dale School at 109 Kersey Rd, Wakefield
  • Free. Donations accepted
  • Two 50ml bottles per household
  • Please be patient and try to maintain 6 feet of distance between other people

Future pick-up dates will be determined after the first day. Follow Sons of Liberty on Facebook or Instagram for updates or visit http://www.drinksol.com.


The Industrious Spirit Company Offering Free House Made Hand Sanitizer

The Industrious Spirit Company

The Industrious Spirit Company (ISCO), Providence’s first distillery since prohibition, is using a byproduct of the production of its structural vodka to create alcohol based hand sanitizer. Using the World Health Organization (WHO) recipe they are able to develop small batches, which they are giving away to anyone who stops by their “Wish We Could Window” while supplies last.

“We want to do our part in helping the community during these challenging times,” said distiller Dan Neff of The Industrious Spirit Company. “Across the country we are seeing distilleries produce high-alcohol based sanitizer and know this is a way we can give back. With the small volume we currently produce we expect it to go quickly, but will keep making as long as we have the ingredients to do so. We do encourage social distancing when coming by to pick up a bottle and apologize in advance if our supplies cannot keep up.”

Stay up to date by following us on Instagram @iscospirits. We are located at 1 Sims Avenue #103, Providence, RI 02909.
