—National Park Service people from Utah that visit their West Valley tasting room that say they’ve never been to Capitol Reef National Park. Regarding the name Waterpocket, “Nine out of ten people that walk into our distillery up north don’t know what it means,” says Alan. He calls this a weird phenomenon considering that he and his wife were not born in Utah, yet are more familiar with the intricacies of the Waterpocket Fold than most of the Utahns that visit their West Valley shop. The Scotts are originally from the Midwest and feel a strong pull to the Capitol Reef area. They have had a home in Boulder for nine years, and Alan says, “This area is the reason we’re still in Utah.”

Since their Torrey distillery is technically a separate entity, the Scotts had to come up with a different name for this shop. They could have just called it Waterpocket Two, but they wanted to go with something more distinct. Alan felt that the name recognition for Robbers Roost is about as strong as people’s recognition of the word Waterpocket.

Despite that, he thinks the name Robbers Roost is more accessible to people, and he’s excited to start telling the area’s outlaw history through their products. If there is one thing the Scotts want people to know about their spirits, it’s that they are not interested in producing high consumption distilled products. “We’re passionate about the botanical side of spirits,” says Scott. In addition to producing your standard whiskey, gin, and rum, they have a broad line of unique bitter liqueurs. One of these is called Oread, and it’s a blend of Roman chamomile, galanga, anise, orange peel, and other herbs and spices.

The Scotts spent time living across Europe and were greatly influenced by local traditions, where for some, herbal liqueurs are a part of daily life. Alan explains that everything alcohol often gets lumped into one category but wants people to know that their distillery is different.

They’re especially interested in resurrecting Old World-style recipes like amaros, which are Italian style after dinner liqueurs with complex herbal flavors. Some of the spirits they produce have never been made before in the United States and feature unusual ingredients. Alan calls these, “low consumption, high flavor type spirits.”

Alan calls what they’re doing with the

Robbers Roost Distillery in Torrey a bit of an experiment. Their West Valley tasting room gets very little foot traffic so they are curious if their Torrey tasting room will appeal to tourists. For a fee, visitors to the Robbers Roost Distillery can sample a selection of spirits while also learning how botanical spirits are made.

The Scotts note that no actual production is happening in Wayne County. Alan says that part of the reason they initially wanted to open their distillery in southern Utah was to take advantage of fruit and agricultural products grown here, which, he now admits, is more difficult than they had originally thought. Part of his plan in opening the Torrey distillery is to circle back to what they originally aimed to do and find ways to incorporate more locally grown herbs and other ingredients into their products.

Alan points to models of agriculture in other countries such as Ger- many, which has tens of thousands of registered distilleries and are often viewed as an optimal place for absorbing agricultural surpluses. He hopes he can help demonstrate to Utah that a regional craft movement can provide excellent benefits to rural communities. “If half of your product is rotting on the ground maybe a distillery is a good place,” says Scott. He sees distilleries as a way that agriculture can have an end product that is non-perishable and can be sold out of the county.

The Scotts are happy to now have a presence in Torrey where they can sell their goods and focus on their original vision of using local herbs and ingredients in their distillation process. “I would love over time for that to be the identity of what we’re doing here,” says Alan. For now, Robbers Roost Distillery is open Fridays and Saturdays from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m., and tastings are available on a walk-in basis.
