For the first time, Woodinville Whiskey Co. (WWC) is looking beyond Washington State and entering new markets. WWC will bring its craft whiskies to California in late April 2018, followed by Oregon mid-year.
California distribution will be handled through Coastal Pacific Wine & Spirits, a division of Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits.
Moët Hennessy acquired WWC in July 2017.
Jim Clerkin, President/CEO of Moët Hennessy North America, said, “We acquired Woodinville last year with the confidence that we had identified an iconic brand in its home state, which shares the same authenticity, commitment to excellence, and pioneering spirit as some of our centuries-old wine and spirits brands.
“Our vision for Woodinville involves significant geographic expansion driven by a thoughtful process that preserves the outstanding quality of the products. We are delighted by the initiatives planned for the coming year and look forward to supporting the Woodinville team to ensure their success.”
