At BLACK BAND Distillery, our mission is to reestablish The Whiskey City by honoring Peoria’s legacy as the pre-prohibition Whiskey Capital of the World and rebuilding the craft that once defined it. We’re doing that work grain‑to‑glass—sourcing Midwestern organic grain, using pure Sankoty Aquifer water just as distillers did 150 years ago, and crafting spirits that embody place, purity, and process. As the first craft distillery in Peoria since prohibition, we’re committed to reviving the tradition this city lost, and we’re inviting you to be part of that revival: so buy a bottle today and help us bring The Whiskey City back to life.
