Blinking Owl Distillery

Blinking Owl Distillery is located in "The Golden City" of Santa Ana and aims to be an iconic 
urban craft distillery in Orange County, California. With it’s name borrowed from an old Santa Ana bar, the Blinking Owl is ready to be intricately woven into the local scene. While founder, Brian Christenson, inherited the passion for making booze from his boot-legging great-grandfather, we intend to LEGALLY carry on his family's “spirit” production by making vodka, gin, whiskies (including Bourbon) and the specialty spirit, aquavit. Our classic spirits will certainly stand out with their California-centric twist, including locally sourced ingredients from community and urban farms, aging in California wine barrels, and collaborations with local chefs and breweries. The talented husband and wife team, Brian and Robin manage and operate the Company along side a talented head distiller. Brian and Robin, through their passion for quality wine, cocktails and food, have established a network of restaurateurs, bartenders, bar owners, alcohol distributors, and alcohol industry connections. They also have over a decade of successful backgrounds as business owners and advertising/branding specialists.
