HI, I’m Dr Jason. I have been an investor in the Blinking Owl Distillery since 2017. I am proud to be the lead investor on this Wefunder raise to help the Distillery’s continued growth. I originally became an investor in the distillery because I could feel how much of a special place they created in downtown Santa Ana. I was sold on Robin and Brian’s philosophy of high quality grain to glass spirits made with all Californian grown products. From the start, the Blinking Owl Distillery has been making waves, they were in fact the very first distillery in Orange County California. The accolades and awards started to come to this small craft distillery for producing fantastic gins, vodkas and aquavits. Once the whiskeys came of age, you realized how amazing the spirits really were. Their 4 grain straight bourbon was written up by Forbes whiskey guy as “The best bourbon you’ve never heard of.” There was year over year growth of distribution while you could see Blinking Owl spirits throughout OC, LA, SF and SD. They had placements at the LA Rams games, Fivepoint Irvine Amphitheater concerts, and were chosen for Masters of the Malt advent calendar. Blinking owl spirits were even distributed internationally to the UK and had started in Taiwan. Then the Pandemic happened, with everything shut down, Robin & Brian switched gears to producing hand sanitizer. Dirty Bird Hand sanitizer could be seen everywhere! Almost weekly, the Blinking Owl was being mentioned in the media. Their bold decision helped keep the distillery profitable. Wanting to come back bigger, the Blinking Owl opened its own restaurant. Since opening their restaurant, the Blinking Owl Distillery has become a destination in Downtown Santa Ana. Publications such as Sunset, Riviera, Orange Coast Magazine and Eater LA have written rave reviews about the craft cocktails, delicious food and atmosphere. I'm excited to see the next direction Robin and Brian have in store for the distillery. With a licensing deal in the works with a very large powerful spirit portfolio, there will be massive increase in sales distribution across the USA. I’ve always placed my trust in Robin & Brian to make the Blinking Owl Distillery what it is today and would like to invite you to join us on the growth of this amazing distillery.
