Master Distiller Shawn Rigsby

👤 About the Instructor I’m Shawn Rigsby, Master Distiller and creator of the Still Talk’n Institute of Distilling. I’ve spent years perfecting the craft of turning raw ingredients into top-shelf spirits — with a special love for fruit-based distillation. My favorite drink to make (and enjoy) is a rich, smooth brandy — though I’ve got a soft spot for peach, banana, and just about any fruit that can be coaxed into a clean, flavorful spirit. This course is built from the same curiosity, precision, and passion that drives every batch I run.

“Shawn has a way of explaining fruit distillation that just clicks. His breakdown of fermentation and cuts while infusing turned my peach brandy from harsh to smooth and full of flavor in one batch.”

“I’ve taken other online courses, but none walked me through fruit spirits like this. Shawn’s knowledge of brandy and banana spirits alone is worth the price of the entire course.”

“I’ve known Shawn long enough to say this — the man’s obsessed. He’ll spend hours chasing the perfect peach brandy like it’s the Holy Grail. But here’s the thing — it works. His fruit spirits hit smooth, clean, and full of flavor every damn time. If you think you know distilling, take his course and find out how much you don’t.”
