Luce Spirits sits on Main Street in downtown Rockland, Maine, where founders Mike Luce and his team launched this craft distillery in 2019. The operation runs out of a converted building in Rockland’s revitalized downtown district, producing small-batch vodka, gin, and rum using local Maine ingredients wherever possible. Mike brought decades of business experience to the venture, but it was his passion for creating clean, distinctive spirits that drove him to open Maine’s coast. The distillery focuses on precision distillation using a custom copper still system, with an emphasis on multiple distillations to achieve clarity and smoothness in their spirits. They source their base materials carefully and incorporate Maine blueberries, botanicals, and other local elements into their recipes. The team maintains a hands-on approach to production, with small batches allowing them to monitor quality closely and experiment with new expressions. Visitors can experience the distillery through tastings in their downtown tasting room, where you’ll sample their core lineup while learning about their distillation process. The space captures that Maine coastal vibe without being overly rustic, and the staff knows their products well enough to guide you through tasting notes and production details. It’s a solid stop if you’re exploring Rockland’s food and drink scene.
