Arlington, Massachusetts

Every bottle begins with a question nobody else thought to ask.

We're a small distillery on Magnolia Street, making spirits slowly and without compromise — because the best things can't be rushed, and the best conversations happen around something worth sipping.

OUR SPIRITS

Small-Batch Crafted

Every run is small enough to care about, large enough to share. We distill in quantities that let us taste every detail.

Patience as Method

Time is our most honest ingredient. We never shortcut the process — aging, filtering, and finishing happen on their own schedule.

Locally Rooted

Born in Arlington, shaped by New England's seasons and ingredients. Our community is part of every bottle we pour.

Distilling process at Short Path Distillery

Built on curiosity, refined by repetition

Short Path started with a simple belief: that the distance between an idea and a finished spirit shouldn't be long. We keep our operation close to the ground — literally and figuratively — so every decision stays in human hands.

Our copper pot still and column still sit side by side in our Arlington workshop, each chosen for what it does best. We move between them depending on what the spirit needs, not what's convenient. That's the short path — the direct route to something genuine.
