OUR BEGINNING
A LEGACY DISTILLED SINCE 1937
In 1937, a small “business” appeared on Main Street. Family-run. Quietly defiant.
Built with grit to outlast the years. Through prohibition’s echoes and decades of change, the family name endured — serving those who valued craft over commerce, and story over sale.
The shelves of John’s Liquor Store became more than a storefront — they became a meeting place for generations bound by curiosity and kinship.
From the start, it was never just about whiskey. It was about belonging.
In the hush of that pause, behind the store’s familiar aisles, something stirred.
Friends gathered quietly, tasting rare bourbons by candlelight. Glasses clinked. Stories shared. From that spark, The Familia was born. A hidden speakeasy inspired by Prohibition’s resilience and the timeless pull of connection.
Walls fell, dark wood rose, and the glow of old brass lit a room that felt like it had always been waiting.
THE REBIRTH
NEARLY A CENTURY LATER, THE WORLD SLOWED
OUR PROMISE
EQUAL PARTS GODFATHER EDGE AND SINATRA CHARM
The Familia is more than a tasting room.
It’s a haven for those who still believe every pour should mean something, a living chapter in Cape Cod’s whiskey story.
Each pour honors the past, celebrates the present, and builds a legacy for those who will one day take our place behind the door.
Some knock to buy a bottle. Others step behind the door to discover its story.
WHAT WE STAND FOR
HERITAGE. CRAFT. CONNECTION.
THREE WORDS DISTILLED INTO EVERY DECISION WE MAKE
We exist for those who value authenticity. The collector, The enthusiast, The loyalist.
Those who understand that true exclusivity is earned, not offered.
THE FAMILIA MEMBERSHIP
JOIN THE FAMILIA: A WHISKEY MEMBERSHIP BEYOND THE ORDINARY
Membership isn’t about access, it’s about belonging.
To become Familia is to step into a living story. Part honor, part defiance, all heart. Inside the speakeasy, loyalty isn’t measured in points but in presence.
You’ll share glasses with collectors, storytellers, and kindred spirits who understand that whiskey connects more than it divides.
