Meet Trail Blazer Member: New World Distillery

New World Distillery has been a Trail blazer member since 2021. I had a great time visiting them at their location in Eden, UT and learning more about them and why they chose to support the Trails Foundation. 

Chris and Ashley Cross are the owners and founders of New World Distillery. After Ashely quit her job they began the journey of opening their own distillery in 2013. Chris labels himself as a “Spirit Geek”- not as in boo the ghost named Casper- but “Spirit” as in creating and distilling his own tequilla, gin, etc.  

Ashley and Chris began their 3 year journey of opening, New World Distillery in 2013 and were able to open their doors in December 2016.  Chris said when they opened they were hoping for at least a few people to show up and be interested in what New World had to offer. Well, easy to say they were blown away when there was a line of people wrapped around the building waiting to experience New World Distillery and it's Spirits. 

New World Distillery is located in beautiful Eden, Utah and offers a unique, local experience. The minute you walk in the door you are greeted with smiles and a welcome! You feel like you’re about to sit down and catch up with an old friend even if you’ve never met any of the staff. New World has a variety of spirits that are distilled in house by ingredients that are quality and chosen by the owners themselves. I even over heard them talking about picking and pressing the apples for their Uncharted Series- Casked Apple Brandy which is seasonal, limited, and only offered in store. However, you can find most of New World Distillery spirits in Utah State Liquor Stores. 

You are always welcome to come into the store 11am- 5pm Tuesday-Saturday or Noon- 5pm on SUNDAYS and purchase whatever spirit you would like. Don’t know what you would like? That’s completely fine and you can do a tasting on the spot. New World Distillery also proudly supports other local businesses in their store. I don’t want to spoil all the magic of experiencing New World Distillery so make sure to go visit them or sign up for a tour on their website and really learn about what goes into being a craft distillery!
