PAPER LANTERN DISTILLING

Paper Lantern Distilling was founded by Simin Kayhan Ames and her husband, Rick Ames. Global citizens with a shared interest in how different flavors are incorporated into drinks, the couple were home brewers and part of the burgeoning craft beer scene in Boston. Growing plants on their balcony and keeping beehives which were harvested to make honey liquor; creating their own unique spirit one day was always in the cards... The idea was born to create spirits that represented the flavors of Southeast Asia and Paper Lantern was incorporated in 2013. In September 2015, Simin left her job in corporate finance to devote her time exclusively to the brand as the CEO of Paper Lantern... The base spirit is made from rice in the same distillery, which is a first in the industry. We don't follow trends, instead, we focus on creating a superior product.
