8th Devil is proud to exclusively distribute Stillwagon Distillery's finely crafted "The Devil's Own" line of spirits in the California market.   Richard (Rick) Stillwagon, founder and master distiller, is driven by a passion for creating products and processes in harmony with nature. In his own words:

"It all started with a koi pond.  I have long been enamored with pond culture and the beautiful Koi fish.  I have built several ponds over my time to house these fish and play at creating a self-sustaining ecosystem.  As with everything I do, I look at what others have done and what is best for the subject, in this case, the fish.  Generally, warm, clean water is best for Koi.  Koi are a relatively hardy carp, but the ones that I ordered were raised in the warmth of Florida.  When I got mine, they started dying due to a suppressed immune system due to the cold water.

Warming a large amount of water is an expensive hobby.  I tried electric heaters and found them to be way too costly to run.  So, I started looking at alternative fuels and greenhouse like structures over the pond to retain heat.  I settled on experimenting with pellet stoves.

From there I had a pellet stove invented with heat exchangers and created steam.  Steam lead down a variety of tangents: steam heat, steam engines, Sterling engines, water distillation, and fuel ethanol distillation.  I started with water distillation until it was suggested that if you can distill water, you can distill ethanol as it takes less heat.

I had a steam engine built for me in India, built a greenhouse, and began experiments in aquaculture and aquaponics.  These ventures began to get expensive and I needed to start making more money than I was spending. This is when we began down the road to distilled spirits.

We chose to produce rum as it was not commonly made in Oregon.  We now produce 11 rums and a vodka made from sugarcane.  The story doesn’t end there, I am still pursuing other technologies surrounding water purification, recycling, waster heat reuse, aquaculture, aquaponics, CO2 capture and remediation, composting and vermiculture.  These all play a part in the big picture of Stillwagon Distillery."

8th Devil is proud to distribute Rolling River Spirits, a family owned and operated craft distillery located in Portland, Oregon. Launched in the spring of 2014, Rolling River Spirits creates the highest quality artisan spirits made from the freshest ingredients. The name, Rolling River, was inspired by the many majestic rivers in the Pacific Northwest, and underscores the importance of pure water in the distillation process.

Only the finest ingredients available are used in hand-crafting the spirits. The head distiller, Tim Rickard, personally creates each blend using his own custom-built stills and Portland's renowned pure water, which stems from the Bull Run watershed. The distillation and bottling of all products occur on site and is overseen and approved by all of the team.

 VODKA - A gold medal winning Vodka with a clean and extremely smooth spirit that is easy on the palate, with a subtle spice lift at the end. Distilled from an organic, non-GMO hard red winter wheat in small batches, using a custom built, reflux style column still; which provides the equivalent of a ten-time distillation, resulting in a quality spirit. 80 proof.

GIN - Winner of multiple gold medals, this aromatic contemporary-style Gin has a delightfully balanced blend of twelve botanicals resulting in an extremely pleasant spirit! Juniper berry forward, (though not overpowering) with citrus, cardamom, and hints of coriander, star anise, and other spices for a deliciously flavorful and fragrant Gin. 84 proof

COFFEE SPIRIT - Creafted with our award-winning vodka distilled with locally roasted coffee beans from Coava Coffee Roasters of Portland, who provide a custom single-source bean-roasted coffee bringing a bold, rich and chocolaty flavor. The initial vodka is distilled (10X) with a hint of non-GMO organic pure cane sugar, and is then combined with the custom brewed coffee, and again distilled one final time resulting in a smooth, sweet tasting Coffee Spirit.  Enjoy it neat, on the rocks, or blended into a limitless variety of coffee and mocha style drinks. 80 proof

HABANERO VODKA (MILD) - An infusion of fresh orange habanero peppers (~300,000 Scoville units) brings a gentle warm heat to our award-winning vodka. With the spice-heat of the pepper painstakingly removed, this spirit brings out all the pepper flavor without the fiery burn. 80 proof

HABANERO VODKA (HOT) - A variation of the infusion of fresh orange habanero peppers brings an upscale heat to our pepper vodka. With the spice-heat of the pepper meticulously adjusted, this spirit brings out all the pepper flavor with an easily-tasted-yet-manageable spicy punch. 80 proof

AQUAVIT

Honoring a branch of their family's Norwegian heritage, Rolling River Spirits produces some of the largest varieties of hand-crafted Aquavit. From the Latin "aqua" (water) and "vita" (life), these ‘Water of Life’ spirits are made in the traditional way, yet with the added twist of Rolling River's own artisan flavor profiles and preferences. The base Aquavit spirit is from their signature non-GMO organic winter wheat. This is a traditional spirit that is caraway-forward and crafted from an array of botanical spices.  With un-aged and oak-aged variations, Rolling River's creative Aquavits can be sipped neat, paired with different courses of a meal, or featured in unique and compelling cocktails.

OLE BJØRKEVOLL AQUAVIT – Our flagship Aquavit with a Portland twist to a Scandinavian classic; caraway, dill, and fennel combine for a light, spicy, smooth and savory finish. This Aquavit can be served by itself, enjoyed throughout a meal, or can be focused on the beginning of a meal by accompanying breads, cheeses, smoked fish, and other tasty appetizers. We enjoy using this spirit as a marinade for Salmon or other seafood which is then barbecued. 84 proof

OLD OLE BJØRKEVOLL AQUAVIT – An aged version of ‘Ole Bjørkevoll Aquavit’. The caraway, dill and fennel combine to age in French Oak barrels. With this Aquavit, one advances into pairing with the main course and the vast array of side dishes and meats. 84 proof

BJØRKEVOLL’S HOLIDAY AQUAVIT – Our twist on a spirit for the holidays or any special occasion. Based on our ‘Ole Bjørkevoll Aquavit’, we add cinnamon, cardamom, and allspice. An outstanding choice for the cool winter months!
