Belle of Dayton Distillery
Murphy and Mike LaSelle were lured by the century-old mystique of producing great liquor, and were inspired to create the finest small-batch artisan spirits. The three brothers spent years studying the art of distillation under world renowned master distillers. Belle of Dayton—genuine and unique—began with the resurgence of the American craft spirits. Before Prohibition, grist mills and distilleries dotted the Miami Valley. Spirits were distilled the old-fashioned way—with hard-work, ingenuity, and honest craftsmanship drawing from the area’s deep, mineral-rich water of the Great Miami Buried Valley Aquifer. The Belle of Dayton label on each bottle, and the spirit contained therein, pays homage to that time and celebrates our American distilling heritage.

The LaSelle Brothers proudly offer you the Belle of Dayton.

Cincinnati Distilling
In 1794, Christian Waldschmidt, a veteran of the American Revolution and businessman, started a new community at a site on the Little Miami River in Sycamore Township, Ohio. He built a general store, a blacksmith shop, a church, Ohio's first paper mill and one of Cincinnati's first distilleries. After Christian Waldschmidt passed away in 1814 he passed his legacy onto his daughter Catherine and son-in-law Mathias Kugler. They continued their father’s business and distilling legacy for decades. Today we produce only the finest whiskeys just a short distance from that original settlement. Our distillery is located in the Kugler’s historic home celebrating the Waldschmidt and Kugler’s distilling heritage and rugged pioneering spirit.

Woodstone Creek
Our illustrious leader (brewer, winemaker, mead master, distiller), Don Outterson, came to Cincinnati in 1987 to help an Australian company build Cincinnati's first brewpub, Wallaby Bob's, at the, then, Forest Fair Mall. Staying in Cincinnati (to get married), he subsequently opened a consulting business to start-up breweries, distilleries and wineries. He sourced equipment, ingredients and expertise. One of those jobs included a trip to Australia to help his former employer open the first microbrewery in the Capitol territories. First, he had to write the legislation to the Australian government. Although he dreamed of starting his own brewery, he licensed a winery in Jan 1999 instead (it was a money thing). Intrigued with microdistilleries popping up out west, he proposed legislation, with the help of Senator Bill Sietz, to originate the craft distilling permit in Ohio. He obtained the first A3a permit issued in the state and started making whiskey and brandy. The addition of his self-designed still prompted an expansion into Cincinnati in 2001 to add a tasting room on Dana Ave. Woodstone used it's potstill to make the first all-Ohio ports and brandy. Another first, a fully aged bourbon debuted in 2005. Many other firsts in Ohio microspirits followed: gin, vodka, moonshine, single malt and bierschnapps. Woodstone moved to it's current location at 4712 Vine Street in late 2013. Woodstone makes grape varietal wines, mead and fruit wines from dry to sweet, small batch distilled spirits: bourbon, blended whiskey, gin, bierschnaaps, vodka, and single malt - peated and unpeated.
