our process

Asset+80.jpg — **IT starts with healthy bees**

As pollinators, bees affect every aspect of our ecosystem—in fact, 35% of the world’s food crops depends on them. (They’re the hardest workers on our staff.)

Asset 90.jpg — the Honey Harvest

While much of the honey in stores is processed, ours is harvested locally and left raw, so all of its natural goodness stays in tact.

Asset 100.jpg — Making mead

Know why NYC pizza is so famous? The water. Guess where that water comes from? The Catskills. We take that water, mix it with honey and yeast, and make it into mead—the OG of alcoholic beverages.

Asset 110.jpg — The distillation

In distilling our mead, we carefully remove the heads, judiciously collect the hearts, and avoid the tails—ensuring our final product is as high quality as the sugar source that started it all.

coming of age

Our aged spirit, Thirteenth Moon, is then aged a full year (thirteen moon cycles) in American oak barrels to mature in both body
and flavor.

the team

Meet Bill and Phil—longtime friends who share a love of fine spirits and a deep appreciation for the beauty and bounty of the northern Catskills. Beekeepers for many years, they decided one day to get creative with their raw honey. Lots of experimentation and many tasting parties later, RevSpirits (short for revolutionary) was officially born. Why revolutionary? Sip some Thirteenth Moon and we think you’ll find out.
