About

Live Free Distillery is a small batch craft distillery in Manchester, NH, owned and operated by André Marcoux, who began as a hobby distiller in early 2010. They produce a range of spirits including flavored moonshines, triple-distilled vodkas with unique infusions, New England-style rums, unaged and flavored corn whiskeys, and barrel-aged whiskeys like bourbon and single malt. What makes them special is their use of locally sourced ingredients, handmade equipment built in New Hampshire, and innovative barrel-aged syrups and sauces.
