Claire Marin, Founder, Head Distiller, and Beekeeper at Pollinator Spirits, truly wears many hats–including a beekeeper’s veil. Her journey from the publishing world to the craft of distilling began in 2009.

CRAFTSMANSHIP

All of our products are crafted with no artificial flavors, colors, or GMO grains. We hand-produce in small batches in The Catskills, New York.

Our story starts with the bee and we will advocate for the safety and thriving state of bees. They play a vital role as pollinators in our delicate ecosystem.

OUR PRODUCTS

The core identity of Pollinator Spirits is tied to the bee. Whether with wildflower honey infusions, honey-lined barrels, or simply pollinator-friendly botanicals, each spirit is well-balanced and thoughtfully produced.

We believe that high quality, delicious artisanal spirits should be accessible to everyone and hurt no one.
