Austin & Ashley Hallford
With over 20 years of combined experience in the craft distilling industry, Austin and Ashley are the heart of Deerfish’s craft. Austin left Mobile in 2010 to pursue a career in distilling in the Pacific Northwest, where he met Ashley. Together, they dedicated the last eight years to perfecting their craft at an award-winning distillery, with Austin earning recognition as their master distiller. Now, they’ve returned to their roots, eager to share their passion and expertise with their hometown community.
