Literary Libations
We had to ask what comes first—the booze then the literary pairing? Or the story then the booze inspired from it?—as we looked around the lab and barrels, which felt like a slice of real science in a sci-fi steampunk setting. “It actually kind of depends on the story,” Davis explained. “So, for example, [we themed the] the distillery in LA [which has since closed] after Island of Dr. Moreau, because we were making the most sacred thing in the world that you could bastardize in this way and sort of, like challenge everyone’s belief in God in the way that they treat booze as a religion. It just screamed Island of Dr. Moreau.”
