We’ve never been good at bending to the status quo. We’d rather explore our passions and give the world something interesting to drink. Whiskey rested in French oak Syrah barrels - with notes of toasted caramel, smoke, warm spice, and California sunsets.

We make good whiskey, the kind that leaves people breathless and a little more in love with life. And we’re so much more than what’s in the glass.

Jackson McCrea is a revolution. We’re bringing women into the conversation on whiskey. Seeing and being seen is our greatest currency. So let’s start spending it - freely and unapologetically.

ABOUT US

We represent over 50 years of experience as entrepreneurs and curators of space for women.

We met at a Sundance event and became fast friends over our mutual love for wine - and for empowering women.

Sheila, an entrepreneur for over 30 years, is Founder of Oyster Knife History Studio which develops projects for television and film. She is a two-time author, and award-winning commercial producer, known for her all female crews. She is the also a brand storyteller and wine educator, bringing her expertise to La Cienega Vineyard's all-female advisory board.

Natasha has advanced in the Entertainment Industry for 20 years, as the right hand to C-Suite Executives, owner of staffing firm, and as an Actor, Director, Writer and Producer. Natasha is also Founder of Love CEO Institute, a personal development company for women.

One evening, we met for a late dinner to celebrate Natasha’s one-woman show - and discovered our mutual love for Old-fashioned’s. We’d had lots of wine together, but never whiskey. We discussed how women have been removed from the narrative around whiskey and that there was no whiskey brand that meaningfully engaged women consumers.

That night, we decided to join forces to do something that’s never been done before - to craft a premium whiskey with a bold brand voice and memorable presence that allows women to be seen in this male-dominated space

Use of Funds

We’ve had investment from Techstars as part of their Spring 2023 global accelerator, where we had powerful mentors, and were immersed in resources and unprecedented opportunities - to which we continue to have access as engaged alumni. Last year, Diageo-backed Distill Ventures became an investor, bringing with them unprecedented access to a world-class team of spirits industry experts, resources, and training.

We’re ready! It’s time to leverage our community and all we’ve learned and accomplished to catapult Jackson McCrea to the next level. This investment will drive our whiskey brand's growth and success, focusing on key areas to amplify our market presence and dial-up production and operational efficiency, to make a bold impact.

Let’s change the face of the whiskey industry together. Become part of a revolution that’s breaking barriers, creating legacies, and empowering women with an invitation to share ownership in Jackson McCrea, the first black women-owned whiskey brand out of California, and one of few women-owned whiskey brands in the U.S. This is your chance to not just raise a glass, but raise the bar. Invest today and own your piece of the revolution.
