Archetype Distillery Archfiend Smoked Vodka 750ml

Using Old World tradition with American innovation, we are proud to raise the bar for what consumers can expect out of a premium gin and vodka brand.

We believe that sometimes the best path forward can be found in the past. The original recipes of gin and vodka were distilled from wine grapes. Those recipes produced more balanced spirits than what many consumers have come to know today, and we are proud to bring them back to life; to go against the grain, do things differently, and honor traditions from the past to pave way for the future of our cocktails. Through research and curiosity, these Old World distilling processes and recipes have helped us to deliver high-quality spirits with a unique and authentic flavor profile.

MICHAEL CHAPYAK
PRESIDENT & MASTER DISTILLER
Michael’s interest in the field of distilling stems from his family’s background of exploring independent spirits. He set out to make the distillery a reflection of his identity. While bartending in New York and working in the healthcare industry, Michael decided he wanted a life change and moved to Colorado to begin his quest of owning and operating a bespoke distillery and social epicenter. After earning his Moonshine University certificates in Louisville, KY, he enhanced his skill base through multiple distillation and fermentation certificate programs, on both a domestic and international level. He has also engaged with a number of gin distillers throughout the UK, gaining critical insights into historical and contemporary distilling techniques from the origination of modern gin.
