Plus, here are a few fun facts about the distillery:
Named after the date prohibition was repealed, 12.05 (Twelve Oh Five) Distillery celebrates the right to legally drink quality spirits.
12.05 Distillery began distributing in December of 2014 and currently distributes to more than 100 restaurants and stores statewide.
The distillery uses modern equipment to produce unique and smooth liquors. The 20-plate copper system allows a wider variety of liquor to be distilled. In addition, the copper helps remove harsh sulfur compounds from the distillate.
Repeal restaurant, opening this Saturday, will feature spirits made from adjacent 12.05 Distillery.
• Repeal restaurant and 12.05 Distillery are housed within the former Virginia Avenue State Bank property in Historic Fletcher Place. Teresa and Bill Webster are only the third owners since the building was constructed in 1924.
