Wonderbird Spirits sits on a 40-acre farm in Taylor, Mississippi, where husband-and-wife team Chand Harlow and Fraser Harlow turned their passion for craft spirits into a full-fledged distillery operation. Chand, a former tech executive, and Fraser, who worked in marketing, decided to leave their corporate careers behind in 2018 to pursue something more hands-on and creative. They converted an old barn on their property into a distillery and opened their doors in 2020, focusing on small-batch bourbon, gin, and vodka production using locally-sourced grains when possible. The couple handles most operations themselves, from mashing and distilling to bottling and marketing, making this truly a family operation where visitors often interact directly with the founders. Their 250-gallon copper still produces about 200 bottles per week, and they’ve built a loyal following among Mississippi craft spirits enthusiasts who appreciate the personal touch and quality-focused approach. The rustic farm setting gives visitors a genuine taste of artisanal distilling, complete with the sights and sounds of rural Mississippi.
