Tagline: Beloved brand with international acclaim has big growth opportunities.
Elevator pitch: The Blinking Owl is the very first craft distillery in Orange County, CA. We make Vodka, Gin, several types of Whiskey, and the Scandinavian spirit, Aquavit. We are locavores, grain nerds, and control freaks so we decided to actually make our booze the long way: from grain rather than pre-made spirit. The grain used to craft our spirits is certified organic and from California farms. We are a destination distillery with an onsite restaurant as the perfect showroom to experience our brand.
