BASALT — Vodka and gin could be flowing from Basalt as soon as next spring after a Woody Creek company got a green light for a distillery from the Town Council on Tuesday night.
The council voted 6-0 to approve the request by Woody Creek Distillery, whose partners are Mark Kleckner and Mary Scanlan. The distillery will be set up in the former Mountain Homefitters furniture-store space in the Mid Valley Business Center, near Valley Lumber. Kleckner said he and Scanlan hope to be producing “world-class” spirits by April. The gin and vodka can be sold immediately after it is distilled. Regulations require aging of bourbon and whiskey for two years.
