Cutwater's Co-Founder and Master Distiller Yuseff Cherney oversees production and innovation, and his meticulous passion for quality is a driving force behind the brand's success. Cutwater Spirits began earning medals while Yuseff was head brewer at Ballast Point, experimenting with distillation as a side passion project in the brewery's break room. The early accolades for Yuseff's spirits sparked an increased focus on distilling, expanded production and the canning of Cutwater's cocktails. In 2017, Yuseff and Co-Founder Earl Kight officially established Cutwater Spirits to focus solely on distilled spirits. Today, Cutwater is known for pioneering the RTD category by offering great-tasting cocktails made using their acclaimed spirits and high-quality ingredients in the convenience of a can.
Cutwater Spirits is now the most awarded canned cocktail brand in the U.S. and has won over 1,100 total awards across its entire portfolio of canned cocktails and bottled spirits. Innovation continues to remain a central focus for the brand and there are several new releases slated in the coming months. Follow Cutwater Spirits on Instagram to stay up to date.
