O.R.E. 118 Raw Vegan Gin, the first spirit of its kind in the United States and the only spirit to be allowed a Raw Vegan claim on its Certificate of Label Approval, has expanded distribution to California.
Founded by the Elder family in 2017, O.R.E. 118 Raw Vegan Gin is made with select Chardonnay grapes and an infusion of the finest botanicals combined with the art of vacuum distilling to preserve the raw essence of both the grapes and the botanicals. The gin is “raw” because throughout its entire fermentation and distillation process it is kept below 118 degrees Fahrenheit. O.R.E. 118 Raw Vegan Gin is also proud to be certified by BevVeg to ensure vegan consumer confidence.
“Expanding distribution to California has always been a goal of ours,” founder Robert Elder says. “We knew there was a void in the market for a true raw vegan spirit that O.R.E. 118 could fill, especially with veganism trending at the moment. This is a natural fit for our spirit and our family.” In fact, some of the inspiration for the product came from family members who live in California and are practicing vegans.
Sales and distribution of O.R.E. 118 Gin in California are handled through BevStrat and MHW. It is also distributed in New York by Opici Family Distributing and in Oklahoma by Boardwalk Distributing.
