Golden Moon Distillery was founded by Stephen Gould and Karen Knight in the spring of 2008 with the idea of producing a premium artisan line of spirits and liqueurs using only the best herbs, spices and “botanicals” available on the market but only through an ancient production process used since the mid-nineteenth century. The heart of the distillery is a thematic library with hundreds of rare books, some of which date back to early 1500s, on the teaching processes and selection of herbs. From their in-depth study, the current recipes of the spirits of this distillery are born, which is confirmed, even at a young age, as one of the best in Colorado and in the United States of America. The search for high quality raw materials, the use of local products as if it were a km 0 of spirits and the production of small stocks (an example: only 600 bottles produced each year of Gin Reserve) complete the great work of Stephen and his team. An exceptional distiller who, with tenacity, had established himself as an icon among American distillers, until the end of 2024 when he decided to close his beloved distillery, much to the surprise and regret of his countless admirers around the world.
