Lost Spirits is a working distillery with an amusement park-like tour founded by Bryan Davis and Joanne Haruta.[1] The distillery was initially located in Las Vegas, Nevada[2] and later moved to Los Angeles, California.[1] The experience of visiting Lost Spirits has been described as "cult hit among spirits geeks".[3] The distillery attracted attention after Davis developed technology to create mature whisky and rum within days.[4][1]

Technology

In 2015 the company attracted global media attention when Davis announced that he had invented a new means of aging spirits. Davis's process was shown, using modern analytical chemistry, to replicate the chemical reactions which take place as spirits age in barrels.[5][1] The process aims to replicate the aging process in a laboratory while producing the same chemical signature and taste.[4]

Los Angeles Distillery

In 2016, Davis and Haruta moved the distillery to Los Angeles.[1] The new location included a tour described as "a sort of Disneyland for adults."[6]
