Distilled from Curiosity

How 10 Torr Distilling & Brewing Began

10 Torr Distilling & Brewing didn’t start with a blueprint; it started with a bold idea. Nestled in the heart of Reno, Nevada, where the high desert inspires creativity and precision, a group of engineers and scientists decided to blend their expertise with their passion for craft beverages. The result? A revolution in brewing and distilling.

Our founders weren’t just dreamers, they were tinkerers and problem solvers. They asked, "What if we could craft beverages that preserve the delicate flavors often lost in traditional methods?" From that spark of curiosity came a groundbreaking approach: vacuum distillation. By reducing the atmospheric pressure to as low as 10 Torr (hence our name), they unlocked the potential to distill at much lower temperatures, protecting and enhancing every nuanced flavor.

The Low-Pressure Secret Behind Every Sip

Why Our Spirits Speak Volumes

The story of 10 Torr is as much about innovation as it is about flavor. Traditional distillation methods often sacrifice subtle ingredients to the harshness of heat. But our method flips the script. By lowering the boiling point, we can distill at temperatures as gentle as 70°F, compared to the scorching 190°F in typical processes.

Why does this matter? Imagine tasting a spirit or beer that embodies the pure essence of its ingredients—the soft notes of caramel from malted barley, the bright botanicals in gin, or the natural clarity of a perfectly balanced beer. That’s the magic of what we do.

Reno Crafted, World-Class Quality

A Legacy of Precision and Flavor

Reno’s unique atmosphere isn’t just our backdrop—it’s our inspiration. From the crisp mountain air to the lively local community, every aspect of this city finds its way into our craft. We source high-quality ingredients, like 2-row barley, and let the character of our home shine through in every sip.

What started as an experiment in a small distillery has grown into a dynamic space where tradition meets modernity. Our industrial-chic taproom is a hub for those seeking not just a drink, but an experience. It’s where locals and travelers alike come to taste something extraordinary.

Where Science Meets the Art of Spirits

Blending Tradition with a Twist of Technology

At 10 Torr, we honor the rich history of distilling and brewing while pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. We’ve crafted a unique synergy between our distillery and brewery, sharing ingredients and philosophies to create a cohesive lineup of small-batch spirits and beers.

But beyond the science and craft, our story is about connection. It’s about raising a glass to ingenuity, to the people who make it all possible, and to the moments that bring us together.
