was formed in 2008, at the same time as Lucky Bucket Brewery, says Co-founder and President Jason Payne. And while craft beer was already known in the market, it took at a little longer for Cut Spike to make its name locally, because, “There had to be a little bit more of an educational process for spirits,” Payne explains. Once people understood spirits, Cut Spike became well-known locally.
“We’re making pretty awesome whiskeys right now and we have more varieties coming up down
the road. We have more than 120 barrels aging in our warehouse and we’ve put a lot of time and effort to build up an inventory,” Payne says. “Now we’re playing with different barrel aging techniques, different grains, and that kind of thing. It’s only going to get more fun.”

Cut Spike also offers some smallbatch spirits like a barrel-aged rum, a gin, and an herbal liqueur called an amaro. “It gives our fans more options and more cool spirits to try but it’s also an outlet for our creativity,” Payne says.
