Downtown Distillery sits right in the heart of Albuquerque’s urban core on Central Avenue, bringing craft spirits production to the city’s downtown district. Founded by local entrepreneurs who saw an opportunity to create something unique in New Mexico’s growing craft spirits scene, this operation focuses on small-batch production with a distinctly Southwestern approach. The distillery occupies a converted commercial space that fits right into the revitalized downtown area, where you can watch the production process through large windows from the street. They produce a range of spirits including vodka, gin, and whiskey, with plans to expand their offerings as their aged spirits mature. The setup is compact but efficient, designed to maximize both production capability and visitor experience in the urban environment.
