When creating a distilled spirit, it is usual to start either with an established spirit type or with flavour, but when Seth O\\u2019Malley and Brad Whiting created Wilderton they approached it from a very different standpoint.\\xa0

Starting instead with a layering of botanicals, that could not be easy identified as any particular flavour, the friends wanted to create a liquid that would function as a spirit without trying to be an already existing one.

The result is their two expressions, Lustre and Earthen, both of which were born out of curiosity about the depth of feeling that the botanicals used could express.\\xa0
