DAYTON, OHIO: In Episode 14 of 'Below Deck Mediterranean' Season 9, viewers will be introduced to Murphy and Beth Laselle, the eighth primary charter guests of the season.

Murphy Laselle owns of a small batch distillery called Belle of Dayton, which he started with his brothers, Mike Laselle and Tim Laselle. Meanwhile, his wife, Beth, serves as a corporate finance manager at CareSource.

Murphy, Mike, and Tim Laselle were captivated by the long-standing allure of creating exceptional liquor, which motivated them to craft top-quality small-batch artisan spirits. The three brothers dedicated years to mastering the art of distillation under the guidance of renowned master distillers.

The Belle of Dayton brand emerged alongside the revival of American craft spirits. Prior to Prohibition, the Miami Valley was home to numerous grist mills and distilleries, where spirits were produced using traditional methods that emphasized hard work, creativity, and skilled craftsmanship, all benefiting from the region's rich mineral water sourced from the Great Miami Buried Valley Aquifer. The Belle of Dayton label on their bottles honors this historical legacy and celebrates the heritage of American distilling.

In May 2017, Belle of Dayton Distillery made history by winning the first Double Gold medal in Ohio at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition. Dayton Gin achieved a Double Gold Medal at this esteemed event, which took place from April 21 to 23 at Hotel Nikko in San Francisco.

The competition, established in 2000, is regarded as the most prestigious in the spirits industry. According to competition director Anthony Dias Blue, Gold medal winners are considered exceptional and set the standard in their categories. The Double Gold Medal is an even greater honor, awarded only to products that receive Gold ratings from all judges, placing them among the world's finest.
