Erik & Silvija Dudor
Vintage Distilling began as an American Dream. Started by Erik & Silvija Dudor, third generation and first generation Lithuanian’s respectfully, with the help of Ted Skirgaila – their dream was to bring the traditional Lithuanian honey spirit “Krupnikas†to their home community of LA and the modern market.
Krupnikas is a cultural staple in Lithuanian culture. Erik & Silvija recall always having a bottle on the table during holidays and as celebratory drinks at weddings.Â
When Erik began making honey vodka at home as a humble hobby- the best way to celebrate their first successful batch was to debut it at his & Silvija’s wedding.
Erik then attended a Master Distillers training at LA Distillery – where he refined his distilling process – first producing a handcrafted vodka without honey of exceptional quality. Their unique finishing technique allowed them to handcraft this vodka to perfection.
