🍋 Veritable Distillery Launches Old-World Limoncello for Bright, Honest Summer Sipping
Just in time for the warm season, Veritable Distillery — the New England-based craft spirits company known for historically inspired, transparent production — proudly introduces its newest small-batch spirit: Limoncello.
A vibrant, refreshing aperitif made with imported Sorrento lemons and crafted using Old World methods, Veritable Limoncello brings a taste of Italy’s Amalfi Coast to colonial-rooted New England — and it’s already winning accolades, including Gold Medals at both the 2024 Los Angeles and New York International Spirits Competitions.
🏺 A Return to Tradition with a Taste That Shines
In colonial New England, lemons were prized for both their flavor and medicinal qualities, often reserved for special-occasion pies, puddings, and punch. Veritable’s new release pays tribute to that legacy, elevating the lemon once again with a spirit that’s clean, simple, and deeply flavorful.

💛 Built on Truth, Simplicity & Sustainability
Veritable’s founding ethos — “spirits with nothing to hide” — shines through every bottle. The brand’s lineup, including award-winning Ship’s Bell Bourbon and Southwick’s American Gin, is crafted without:
❌ Artificial colors
❌ Synthetic flavors
❌ Chemical stabilizers
❌ Industrial additives
❌ Animal-derived clarifiers
Instead, Veritable relies on honest ingredients and time-honored techniques, replicating what was available in 18th-century New England.
“Limoncello is such a joyful, summery spirit — we wanted to make one that felt as bright and real as the fruit itself,” says Finneas Pryor, Vice President and Co-Founder.
“By sticking to traditional methods and just a handful of honest ingredients, we created something incredibly fresh, expressive, and easy to love. It’s everything we believe in — simplicity, transparency, and a real sense of place.”
