Our Story

Our story

Born in Minnesota. Built on experience.

VANE Spirits is the next chapter of Flying Dutchman Spirits. Our roots are in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, where spirits production, product development and a cocktail-room experience brought the brand to life.

A new name. A lasting connection.

Flying Dutchman established the experience that shapes VANE today. We are carrying that foundation forward with an expanding spirits portfolio, a spirit of discovery and a focus on bringing VANE to more people.

A tip of the hat to where we began.

Some details deserve to stay. We are continuing with our Flying Dutchman branded bottle corks and carrying the winged emblem onto the back of VANE bottles. These small signatures honor the founding brand and connect our next chapter to the one that came before.

Rooted in Minnesota. Inspired by the world.

Explore vodka, gin, rum, whiskey, brandy, world spirits and liqueurs, shaped by our operating and product-development experience. Our future plans also include a Mexican tequila collection, with details to follow as that project develops.
