Company Description

We have created a unique craft gin designed specifically for the American palate.

We have also created gin-based ready-to-drink (RTDs) canned cocktails to follow current market trends. We are all about gin, and the product reflects our obsession.

Key Deal Facts

We already have 500 points of distribution in Connecticut and Rhode Island with $87.5k in sales in our first year on the market, and we are in the process of expanding to California, Colorado, and Florida.
Our founder team has decades of corporate and creative experience and an obsession with developing our nearly perfect gin recipe.
Our award-winning flagship gin is brewed individually to ensure brightness and freshness and remove bitter off-flavors, giving it an accessible and elevated flavor for gin enthusiasts and non-gin drinkers alike.

Use of Proceeds

  • By monitoring changes to the 3-tier business model, we hope to eventually establish a botanical experience/tasting room and begin direct to consumer retail sales.

  • Our ultimate goal is to create a portfolio of gin related products and to become a national gin-centric liquor brand with international possibilities.
