What's your business, and who are your customers?
We make whiskey to celebrate life's happy times and commiserate the lower. Our passion is putting liquid art in a bottle every day and sharing it with friends and family.
Tell us about yourself
Prior to WWII, my grandfather's family owned a brewery that was confiscated by the Nazis, and his entire family was murdered in the camps. He tried to recover the brewery but never did, and when he passed, I wanted to build on this family legacy.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Keeping our doors open for over 11 years and building an amazing team of talented professionals that I respect to help build my vision.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
They're all hard.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
Believe in yourself, don't worry about the haters, and realize that no one cares about your problems - work harder.
