Habitat Stewardship

As a Wildlife Certified Distillery, we take pride in safeguarding the rich biodiversity of Daufuskie Island. Beyond our dedication to sustainable production, we actively support the Daufuskie Island Turtle Team, helping protect the island’s nesting sea turtles and ensuring its ecosystems continue to thrive for generations to come.

Zero Waste Initiatives

At Daufuskie Island Distillery, we strive to reuse or recycle nearly all materials involved in our distillation process and continually work toward innovative zero-waste solutions.

Our Zero Waste Initiatives Include:

  • Transforming distillation residue into compost for local agricultural use.
  • Up-cycling used barrels for furniture, décor, or aging other spirits.
  • Offering compostable alternatives for guests to enjoy meals and drinks while visiting us.

Water Conservation

We’re dedicated to protecting Daufuskie’s delicate ecosystems by giving back as much as we take. Water used in our distillation process is carefully treated and returned to the island’s wetlands, ensuring a sustainable balance that supports the surrounding environment.
