Now available in California!

After some months of permitting and applications our #doublegold Galloping Goose whisky and #goldmedal Lochside Summer Gin No. 5 are now available to retailers in California!

California runs what is called a "3-tier system," so we (the makers, tier-one) ship first to a distributor's warehouse (tier two) and the distributor then sells to the retailer (tier three).  In our case, "LibDib" is our wholesale sales portal from which retailers can purchase (they too have to show a valid California retail sales permit for spirits).

If you're in California, may we ask you to please contact your favorite liquor store and have them order both the Galloping Goose and Summer Gin through LibDib?   We've already developed a following near Sacramento and in L.A. as travelers have visited the distillery and taken home a supply of both Galloping Goose and Summer Gin. 

Retailers can register at the "buyer's" tab on LibDib.

Expect our other whiskies and gin to follow quickly, as we are merely completing some additional paperwork.

Happy day for us, and excited to be in California!
