Freeland Spirits is owned by Jill Kuehler, who founded the company in late 2017. I had the pleasure of meeting Jill and hearing the story behind the creation of Freeland Spirits. It all started during a whiskey-drinking session with her friend, Cory Carman, who happens to be the owner of Carman Ranch.
Jill and Cory were discussing the lack of women's representation in the craft spirits industry, particularly in the whiskey sector. They realized that there was an opportunity to create a brand that not only produced high-quality spirits but also championed women's involvement in the industry. And thus, Freeland Spirits was born.
Jill, with her entrepreneurial spirit and passion for whiskey, took the leap and founded Freeland Spirits. She became the driving force behind the brand, overseeing all aspects of the business, from product development to marketing and distribution. Her vision for Freeland Spirits was to create a company that celebrated the craftsmanship of spirits while promoting inclusivity and empowering women.
I had the opportunity to try some of Freeland Spirits' offerings, and I must say, they are exceptional. The attention to detail and the commitment to using high-quality ingredients are evident in every sip. From their flagship gin to their small-batch whiskey, each product is crafted with care and precision.
Jill's background as a sommelier and brewer brings a unique perspective to Freeland Spirits. She understands the nuances of flavor and the importance of balance in crafting spirits. Her expertise in the industry allows her to create products that stand out in a highly competitive market.
One thing that struck me about Jill is her dedication to sustainability and supporting local farmers. She sources many of the ingredients for Freeland Spirits' products from local farms, including Carman Ranch. This not only ensures the freshness and quality of the ingredients but also supports the local economy and reduces the brand's carbon footprint.
