The Blinking Owl is the very first craft distillery in Orange County, California. They also are one of the first distilleries in the state of California to hold the Type 74 Craft Distillers License allowing us to operate our tasting room and sell a few bottles. They make Vodka, Gin, several types of Whiskey, and the Scandinavian spirit, Aquavit.
The SPIRIT behind the Owl…
Blinking Owl are locavores, grain nerds, and control freaks so we decided to actually make our booze the long way: from grain rather than pre-made spirit. The California Distillery mills it, mashes it, ferments it, distils it, and, in the case of whiskey, barrel ages it (which means they will not have a 9-year-old Bourbon to sell until 9 years from now).
