Valentine Distilling Co.

Ferndale, Michigan-based Valentine Distilling is taking a forward thinking step towards sustainability through a strategic collaboration with The DeLong Co., Inc.'s Grown Climate Smart initiative. This partnership not only aligns with Valentine Distilling's commitment to premium spirits but also underscores their dedication to environmentally responsible practices. By integrating the Grown Climate Smart logo onto their labels, Valentine Distilling signifies a new era of climate-smart products.

Renowned for its pure and simple approach to distilling, Valentine Distilling proudly stands as Detroit's original craft distillery, breaking ground in 2007. Since then, they have become one of the most awarded distillers of bourbon, rye, gin, and vodka in America. The distillery's commitment to purity is reflected in its scientifically cleaner-than-most approach, free from glycerol, limonene, and other additives.

President and Founder at Valentine Distilling, Rifino Valentine, expresses enthusiasm for the collaboration with Grown Climate Smart: "Our sustainability journey has been a cornerstone of our business. Partnering with Grown Climate Smart is a natural step forward for us. It reflects our ongoing commitment to sourcing ethically and producing high-quality spirits while reducing our environmental footprint."

This partnership extends beyond labels and logos, with the Grown Climate Smart logo representing adherence to sustainable farming practices that resonate with Valentine Distilling's dedication to responsible sourcing and production methods. Cover cropping, reduced tillage, nutrient management, and windbreak implementation are at the core of both Grown Climate Smart and Valentine Distilling's values, creating a seamless integration of shared principles.

Valentine Distilling's range of spirits, including bourbon, whiskey, vodka, and gin, will now bear the Grown Climate Smart seal. This seal serves as a testament to the distillery's commitment to crafting premium-quality spirits sustainably, meeting the growing demand for environmentally responsible products in an era where consumers prioritize sustainability.

As consumers seek products that align with their values, the collaboration between Valentine Distilling and Grown Climate Smart bridges the gap, offering sustainably produced spirits. The addition of the Grown Climate Smart logo invites consumers to make conscious choices and support environmentally conscious initiatives. Valentine Distilling and The DeLong Co., Inc. invite consumers to seek out Grown Climate Smart labeled products, advocating for sustainable practices and contributing to a more sustainable and pure future.
