We've won silver. We've won bronze. This year, we're taking a swing at gold.

The truth is, awards don't make whiskey better. The people who support local businesses do.

If you've enjoyed a pour, picked up a bottle, joined us for Whiskey Wednesday, stopped by one of our events, or simply told a friend about Black Ring Spirits, thank you. Every bit of support has helped us get this far.

We're in the final days of voting for Best in the PNW, and we'd be honored to earn your vote.

Then come see us this week and let's have a whiskey together.

Today I learned that when Heather and Leon aren't at the distillery, nobody is monitoring my decision-making process.

So far I've resisted buying more equipment, redesigning labels, rebuilding furniture, and creating three new whiskey projects.

I'd call that a successful day.

There are still 90 minutes left, though.

If you'd like to support the distillery while I continue making responsible choices, we'd appreciate your vote for Best in the PNW.

We've already earned Bronze and Silver.

This year we're aiming for Gold.

So doggone adorable.

Silver. Bronze. Silver.

We've spent the last few years earning recognition from judges, whiskey drinkers, and the occasional skeptic who wandered into our little distillery and left with a bottle under their arm.

This year, we'd like to bring home Gold.

Black Ring Spirits has once again been nominated for Best Distillery in the Pacific Northwest, and we'd be honored to have your vote.

We're a small independent distillery in Port Orchard. No corporate backing. No marketing department. Just a lot of hard work, a stubborn refusal to do things the easy way, and customers who keep showing up to support what we're building.

If you've enjoyed a bottle, attended an event, shared a drink with friends, or simply believe in what we're doing, we'd appreciate your vote.

There are so many exciting things happening at the distillery! We have puppies arriving this Saturday for adoption, and our newest whiskey, Ember, is climbing the charts!

Join us for Pup N Sip on June 20th, where you can take home a bottle of Ember and a puppy!

The big brands have advertising budgets.
We have customers.

Every award, every event, every bottle we've sold happened because people like you decided to support a small independent distillery in Port Orchard.

We're nominated again for Best Distillery in the Pacific Northwest, and we'd love your vote.

Thank you for helping us build something unusual.

Confession time.

We're terrible at asking for votes.

We're much better at making whiskey.

We'd rather talk about mash bills, barrel char, smoked malt, cherry wood, copper stills, and why Ember tastes the way it does.

But every year this competition helps people discover Black Ring Spirits for the first time.

So we're swallowing our pride and asking:

If you've enjoyed a bottle, attended a Whiskey Wednesday, stopped by a Night Market, visited the tasting room, or simply believe small local businesses matter...

Please cast a vote for Black Ring Spirits as Best Distillery in the PNW.

We'll get back to making whiskey now.
