We just launched another new product, Coffee Loon Lightning – just in time for the holiday season! Coffee Loon Lightning pairs the natural sweetness of Washington corn with warm notes of toffee and caramel from local Roast House Café de America’s cold-brewed coffee. This coffee spirit is the perfect addition to holiday cocktails and will offer warmth and comfort on cold winter days. Coffee Loon Lightning is the ninth product in our growing product line and this is the first corn-based spirit of its kind in the area!
The summer months proved to be a great time for business, with the influx of vacationers looking to catch a break from the heat and explore all that Loon Lake has to offer (you can imagine they were pleasantly surprised to find a craft distillery in town).
“It’s been an awesome summer! Greg and I are overwhelmed by the phenomenal support from the residents of Loon Lake and the surrounding communities. Thanks to our customers, we are on our way to living our dream of having a successful craft distillery!”
We have found that the key to success is building relationships with other local businesses in the area. Through word-of-mouth and cross-promotion, we can help each other grow our businesses! Last month, we partnered with ChewVino Wine Bar & Bistro in Chewelah to offer “First Friday Flights” where we had the chance to meet and mingle with customers while serving flights of three 2 Loons cocktails. ChewVino is the first restaurant to carry 2 Loons products!
As we enter our second year of business, we are looking forward to expand production to get our spirits on the shelves of local stores and behind the bars of local restaurants. We are in the process of purchasing larger equipment that will allow us to double (or maybe even triple!) our current production in the upcoming year.
But for now, we are focused on getting ready for the winter and holiday festivities. We hope to share our spirits with new groups of people who are heading up north for skiing and other winter activities and will be offering private tours throughout the holiday season. For holiday gift-giving, we have expanded our selection of gift items to include: box signs, glassware, shakers, flasks and canteens, and apparel. We also have lots of jewelry items for sports fans, featuring the Seahawks, Cougars, and Huskies. We’re also super excited to be offering custom gift baskets for gift-giving-made-easy, including corporate baskets for businesses looking to give unique local gifts to clients and colleagues!
