Olympia Distilling Co. is raising capital to support the expansion of its craft vodka business and to enter the fast-growing ready-to-drink (RTD) cocktail segment. The company currently distributes its award-winning spirits through over 300 retail outlets across Washington, Oregon, Montana, and Wyoming. With established partnerships with major distributors and retailers, Olympia Distilling is focused on scaling production capacity and increasing brand visibility in new markets.

By building on its reputation for authenticity and quality—anchored by its use of Tumwater’s artesian well water—Olympia Distilling seeks to differentiate itself in a crowded market of mass-produced spirits. The company’s founders are leveraging regional heritage and a commitment to small-batch craftsmanship to build long-term brand value. Olympia Distilling’s strategy is to fill a market gap with authentic, story-driven spirits that appeal to consumers seeking meaningful experiences and superior taste. With award recognition and growing revenue, the company is positioned to scale effectively and capture additional market share in both the traditional vodka and RTD beverage categories.
