Spirit Hound, which is based in Lyons and won Whisky of the Year in 2022, is taking over the former Mythology Distillery space as part of its major expansion plans.
“This place is perfect. Actually, it ticked off more boxes than we needed because they were doing production there,” explains Engelhorn, noting that Spirit Hound's production will remain at its original Lyons distillery, which is also undergoing renovations — though that project is more involved than the work being done in LoHi.
“One of those core values is tenacity. We think of the hound dog as being tenacious. You put the hound dog on the trail and they don’t give up. We’re always searching for better spirits and a better quality product and a better experience,” says Engelhorn. “We know we can’t sit and just be like, ‘We won whisky of the year. Let’s just rake in the cash now.’ It doesn’t work like that.”
. According to Engelhorn, banks “laughed” at Spirit Hounds’ proposal, as its whisky barrels wouldn’t hit retail shelves for several years. Though Engelhorn confirms that all of these Spirit Hound creations have been successful, the distillery is most known for its whisky and gin. He says, “The gin was a product we made early on because gin comes out of the still and you put it in a glass and make a cocktail. You don’t have to put it in a barrel and wait.”
