About Bully Boy Distillers:

Bully Boy Distillers is Boston’s first craft distillery since Prohibition, founded by brothers Will and Dave Willis in 2010. Located in Boston’s Newmarket District, the company’s family history and New England farming roots inspire its unique lineup of craft spirits, which are produced using traditional techniques.
Company story

Bully Boy Distillers
was inspired by the Willis brothers’ childhood on Charlescote Farm, a fourth-generation family farm.
Family history: The distillery’s name comes from a draft horse that worked on the farm in the 1920s. The family’s great-grandfather, who was a college friend of Teddy Roosevelt, named the horse “Bully Boy” after Roosevelt’s favorite exclamation, “Bully!”.

Prohibition inspiration: In the farmhouse basement, the brothers discovered a hidden vault of spirits amassed by their grandfather during Prohibition. This collection of vintage bottles, including pre-Prohibition whiskies and rums, inspired them to begin their own distilling journey.

From hobbyists to distillers: The Willis brothers began by making apple cider, which progressed to hard cider and eventually apple brandy. Their success as hobbyists led them to turn their passion into a business.
