Captive Spirits

Founder and distiller, Ben Capdevielle, began distilling gin as a hobby with his father, “Big Jim.” Jim learned how to distill from his father, Ted, and happily passed the tradition along to Ben. After ten years behind bars and in kitchens, Ben started making Big Gin® , aptly named after his father's nickname, "Big Jim." Captive Spirits Distilling sold its first bottle of Big Gin® in February 2011.
