Salt Flats Spirits sits in an industrial complex in Salt Lake City, doing something pretty unusual for Utah—making craft spirits in a state with some of the country’s most restrictive liquor laws. Founded by locals who wanted to bring small-batch distilling to the Beehive State, they opened their doors determined to prove you can make quality spirits even when you’re operating under unique regulatory constraints. The distillery focuses on vodka, gin, and whiskey, working within Utah’s specific requirements while still pushing creative boundaries. You’ll find them in a no-frills industrial space that’s more about function than flash, but that’s part of the charm—they’re putting all their energy into what’s in the bottle rather than fancy décor. The team here knows they’re working in challenging territory for craft spirits, and they’ve embraced that challenge rather than being intimidated by it.
