Our Story

Maine Shine Company was founded with a simple goal — to bring the spirit of Maine to every pour. Nestled between Waterville and Oakland, our small-batch distillery blends tradition, craftsmanship, and local pride.

Each batch starts with grains sourced from nearby Maine farms, working hand-in-hand with local growers who share our dedication to quality and sustainability. From field to bottle, every step honors the land and the people who make this community special.


Our Craft

At Maine Shine Company, our passion is rooted in tradition. Every bottle we craft honors the legacy of Maine’s hardworking spirit. We believe great whiskey begins with respect for the land and the people who cultivate it. That’s why we work closely with local farms and use only the finest Maine-grown ingredients to create authentic, small-batch spirits that embody our state’s rugged beauty and integrity.

Flavors

American Oak Aged Whiskey

Matured patiently in American oak for a refined depth and character — a nod to heritage and time-honored craft.
