N Scott Distillery: A Family-Owned Distillery

Without alcoholic drinks to raise our spirits, we perceive life to be boring.

About the N Scott Distillery

N Scott Distillery is a family-owned distillery founded by the Strausers in the city of Las Vegas. Dedicated to make their booze the best when it comes to quality and flavor. Rest-assured that each of their products will give you a whole new experience to tickle your taste buds.

The president and chief executive officer is Nicholas Strauser, a well-known skilled jeweler born in Hawaii. Trying his luck, he moved together with his family in the sin city of Las Vegas in 1999. Although he pursued his career as a jeweler, he knows for sure that he wanted something else.

Years have passed and he went along with the noisy streets and busy life. Preoccupied with work and raising a family, he seemed to have lost track of his very dream, distilling. Taking a few years back to 2016, his enthusiasm and heat of passion started once again like a phoenix rising from ashes.

His wife and childhood sweetheart, Connie Strauser showed him the path he had not taken for a long time. Opening a fresh start with new possibilities after their retirement. He, once more welcomed his long forgotten dream with open arms garnering support from his family.

In doing business, entrepreneurs risk big hoping for a bigger return. It is not easy to enter an unfamiliar world without carrying the weapon of learning from experiences. Lucky for this family, Nicholas Strauser’s gift and talent of distilling surely did not go away.

N Scott Distillery’s Objective

Like any other businesses, this distillery also shares their very main goal, to capture the hearts of drinkers that opt to appreciate a good and well-made spirit. Since their products can be made in small batches, they put delicate effort just like the way on how a grandmother would make her meals.

They intend to keep their processing of spirits small and controlled to maintain a reasonable price. This allows everyone to enjoy and drown in the goodness of the once not readily available fine spirit to all.

Grain Mill

The distilling process is very simple. It starts with cracking the grains in the grain miller to give that fine texture. Also, to enhance flavors that become playful for the mouth.

Mash Tank

Next step is incorporating the grains to the mash tank together with hot water. Cook the grains for 90 minutes to extract the most-sought aromatic scent. To imagine better what a mash tank does, it is basically a huge pot filled with oatmeal.

Fermentation Tank

After the mashing process, the grains are transferred in a fermentation tank stored in a huge fermentation room. Yeast is then added to the mixture, sparking the start of the fermentation process. This would last for about a week to ensure that it will offer a high-alcohol content drink.

Distiller/Reflux Still

The fermented drink is then poured into a distiller or a reflux still to begin with the distilling process. It is the action of separating components of a substance from its liquid mixture.

Oak Reactor

The oak reactor is the new state of the art technology considered as the “gem” of the distillery. It makes the production rate higher through fast aging that could be cut short in less than 2 weeks instead of six years. Voila! Everything is set, all you need to do is to get your hands in one of N Scott’s spirits.
