Distillery
small is in,
big is out
Palmeri is intentionally small—225 square feet, built around our custom still. A true nano-distillery, designed for precision, efficiency, and a hands-on approach to every batch.
We’re currently in the thick of the build—framing, plumbing, and electrical are underway, with the still installation coming soon.
And while the distillery itself is compact, the landscape is anything but. Twenty acres surround us—open desert, agave, and plenty of room to explore.

concrete
Pouring Concrete! In August 2025, this is the main distillery slab looking towards the bathroom and storage building slab. The Mule Mountains, keeping an eye on Palmeri in the background.
framing
Taking Shape! Our bathroom and storage building looking down into our pond and San Jose Peak in Mexico. Co-founder Bill in charge of the build.

Palmeri's main building—the distillery. Oversized windows and doors are framed in, and you can start to see and feel the scale. The ceiling height will be 12 feet. on the left, co-founder Jascha finishes the framing from the roof before inspection.
The build
Nearly ready for inspection! Then Jascha and Bill get to work on plumbing and electrical. Handy having two co-founders with tradesman backgrounds!
The pond
Look at that view! The window from the distillery, frames our pond and San Jose Peak—in the spring, we are lucky enough to have a pond of wildflowers.
The farm
The Palmeri Pond! Looking West toward our agave field, and a freshly planted baby agave to the left. This variety, is our namesake: Agave Palmeri.
First fence posts going up.
This ensures our tasty baby agaves are safe from munching. Agave Palmeri seeds, and a beautiful desert marigold in full bloom, spring of 2026

A small taste of the native plants on the farm.
A mesquite tree next to the pond budding out, and magnificent Banana Yucca, just starting to bloom and stretch to the sky.
