The world might not need another vodka, gin or tequila brand, Phil Hockey admits, but there’s definitely some space in the market for a quality local brand. “Cleveland needs more local spirits,” Hockey explains.
The world might not need another vodka, gin or tequila brand, Phil Hockey admits, but there’s definitely some space in the market for a quality local brand.
“I love food, wine and beverages and I always wanted to take it to the next level – from making cocktails to actually making the spirits,” he says. “That’s the reason I was able to do this,” adds Hockey. “I didn’t have to buy and build the whole distillery. The distillery was there, the pots were there, so I didn’t have all those start-up costs.”
The vodka and gin are made from 100-percent organic Ohio corn and the tequila is distilled from blue agave shipped up from Mexico. Hockey says the vodka has a touch of sweetness from the corn. The gin is going for an Old World-meets-New World flavor profile with juniper, bergamot, lime, anise and chicory. The tequila is full bodied and floral.
