Dave Rigo and Greg Lehman

Life is a series of watershed moments. These moments shape each day, week, year of our lives. These are the moments that create a shift in who we are … that prevent us from ever going back to who we were. These “moments” range from huge life altering events, to tiny changes in perspective that ultimately alter our direction in life. Moments where new hope is found and prior hope is realized.

When Greg Lehman and Dave Rigo set out to start Watershed Distillery, it was a series of these moments strung together to form the creation of a company and the building of a brand. Over five years, 3 stills and 10,000 square feet later, they look back on the entire process and say the scariest of these watershed moments, and possibly the most impactful was leaving their corporate day jobs to pursue this dream of creating a business in the community they were both raised in.

Sourcing as much as possible from within Ohio, Watershed Distillery produces five spirits that reflect the distillers dogged commitment to perfection. The distillery is the realization of a dream for a couple of guys and an inspiration for the community.
