The Twelve Mile Limit emerged at the height of Prohibition in the United States. It takes its name from the area twelve miles offshore, where federal laws no longer applied and international waters began. Smugglers would anchor their ships beyond this boundary to evade law enforcement. This potent blend of three distinct spirits serves as a tribute to the bootleggers’ defiance; it reminds everyone that while laws may have their limits, the desire for a quality drink knows no bounds.

“Rules are nothing more than lines drawn in the sand by those who fear the tide.”
