Triple Eight Distillery

About Us

Welcome to the craft distillery operating on Nantucket Island. We produce world craft spirits created and made right here on Nantucket.As one of the oldest single malt whisky distilleries in the United States, making among the first single malts in the nation post-Prohibition, Triple Eight Distillery is leading the way toward a new category of American Single Malt Whisky.

Tucked away at the famed Cisco Brewers property on Nantucket, Triple Eight has long dedicated itself to making fine spirits. In 2000, Triple Eight began distilling The Notch, using the collective wisdom of their brewers, distillers, and vintners, and guided by renowned experts George McClements and John Ramsay in the early years in making the final blend.

Since its first release in 2008, The Notch has been recognized as one of the world’s finest whiskies, earning dozens of awards, including: Gold Outstanding from the International World Spirit Competition, Best in Class from the International Spirit Challenge, Best in Class from the American Craft Spirits Association, Best in Class from the American Distilling Institute, Best in Class from the San Francisco World Spirit Competition, and World's Best Small Batch Single Malt from the World Whiskies Award.

What makes The Notch so special? The short answer is the atmosphere. The natural beauty of the island, what makes Nantucket magical - the clear blue skies, the intoxicating scents of Rosa rugosa, honeysuckle, and bayberry mingling with the salt air, a damp fog rolling in - is embodied in The Notch. Come taste our single malt and others.
