A1a Spirits Vodka

A1a Spirits invokes the highway along Florida’s Atlantic coastline on its Blueberry Lemon vodka label. The brand’s undated website identifies Marlin & Barrel in Fernandina Beach as the distillery making its spirits in small batches.

A1a Spirits and its island distillery

Early plans centered on rum, with the local market expected to shape everyday and seasonal offerings, Marlin & Barrel's representative Roger told iStill in an interview published in 2014.

Marlin & Barrel opened in March 2015, General Manager Alayna Jones told the News-Leader in its November 5, 2025, report. The operation began with one still and one staff member, Roger Morenc, according to Action News Jax’s June 17, 2019, account.

The 2019 report described a planned move to an 8th Street building three times larger and a $1 million expansion investment. Jones’s later account dated the building purchase to 2020, saying the owner wanted a permanent location with room to grow.

At the South 8th Street tasting room, visitors could sample all 13 spirits in guided tastings and learn how to use them in cocktails, according to the 2025 report.

Corn, smoke, and fruit

The standard vodka uses a 100% corn base, undergoes 20 distillations and charcoal filtration, and is bottled at 80 proof, according to the brand’s undated product page.

The flavored vodkas take different ingredient paths on A1a Spirits’ product page: Smoked Pepper uses Peruvian bird peppers smoked in-house, while Blueberry Lemon uses whole blueberries and lemon zest.

New ownership and distribution plans

The distillery was sold to Amelia Island Hospitality Group in April 2025, the News-Leader reported that November. Jones said the tasting room had been renovated and production was increasing.

A new spirits-distributor contract was part of that effort, Jones said, with statewide and countrywide reach still goals. Two large orders had already gone out, while a third was being prepared, she said.
