Rhode Island Spirits, makers of Rhodium gins, vodkas and liqueurs, shared a pre-opening status on the company’s buildout of its new distillery space located at 40 Bayley Street in Pawtucket, which began as 2022 came to an end. Co-founder Kara Larson said the new home features “a larger and more flexible distillery space, efficiency improvements and much improved freight access, so we should be able to respond to changes in demand more quickly and easily. We also invite any retail managers or owners to get in touch for a tour or a tasting training for their staff.” The new space is a block away from the new Pawtucket/Central Falls MBTA station and was back in full production swing in February. New England’s only LGBT-owned spirits brand, the Rhode Island Spirits line is crafted from local fresh, farmed or foraged ingredients and is gluten-free, organic, non-GMO and vegan, with all in the lineup but one certified kosher by RI Kosher. Rhodium Grapefruitcello Liqueur, Rhodium Limoncello Liqueur, Rhodium RI Red Vodka, Rhodium Coffee & Black Walnut Vodka, Rhodium Citron Vodka and Rhodium Forager’s Gin are among its brands, all distributed in the state by Horizon Beverage Co. of Rhode Island – Copley division.
