MANIFEST WAS FOUNDED ON THE PRINCIPLE THAT a great vision can only be achieved through unity. Individual talents and abilities are integral to our success, but the sum is always greater than the individual parts. This founding principle revealed itself naturally when establishing our team, comprised of David Cohen, Scott Kennelly, Trey Mills and Tom Johnson. The individual journeys of these four gentlemen led them together to form what is now Manifest. Since opening in September 2016, that team has grown from the original 4 to the team you see below. Manifest celebrates the best of what American craftsmanship has to offer, from the American-made distillation equipment to the grains sourced from a network of co-ops throughout the North America. Our distillation is influenced by training from famed brew school the Siebel Institute, researching and shadowing master distillers throughout Kentucky and elsewhere along with a resilient desire to never stop learning, growing and chasing our best selves. Located in the heart of the Doro District of Downtown Jacksonville, Manifest Distilling is Northeast Florida's premier event space. The distillery’s 9,000 square foot space boasts a sleek, upscale design with multiple different event spaces. Each space connects with rolling glass doors allowing for a range of private or semi-private events. Whether you're looking for a venue to host an intimate gathering, a corporate event, or a large function, such as a wedding or holiday soiree, our team at Manifest Distilling will ensure a memorable experience for all! We offer a variety of event add-ons that allow you to customize your event. Add-ons include a guided group tour of the distillery, signature cocktail menus, cocktail classes, spirits workshops, and custom barrel aged cocktail with branded barrels.
