New England Sweetwater Farm & Distillery
New England Sweetwater Farm & Distillery (NESW) is a family-owned and operated business founded by Robert Patton-Spruill. Robert's passion for distilling was nurtured during childhood summers spent with his grandfather, "Uncle Bob," who not only taught him the craft of distilling Whiskey and Moonshine, but also instilled the value of prioritizing quality over quantity.
In 2020, the business was passed down to the next generation when Robert’s cousins, Alisa Lawrence and Nilaja Young, purchased NESW. Together with their spouses, Karl Lawrence and Kenny Young, they embraced the legacy of Uncle Bob, learning the science and art of distilling. They continue to grow the family business, ensuring its legacy for future generations of distillers and entrepreneurs.
This family-focused approach emphasizes tradition, craftsmanship, and a dedication to quality, making NESW a testament to their shared values and heritage.
NESW produces a full line of spirits including whiskey, vodka, gin, rum, moonshine, and ready-to-drink cocktails (RTDs).
