Sip Socially, Give Back Locally

Fast Penny Spirits is changing the way we drink. We are a woman-founded, women-led distillery based out of Seattle, Washington that is dedicated to community, sustainability, and bringing delicious amari to everyday celebrations.

Marrying tradition and innovation, our high-quality amari fuses the heart of Italy and the taste of the Pacific Northwest. Each of our captivating spirits is blended with over 45 organic, sustainably-sourced ingredients and botanicals, perfect for sipping neat, enjoying over ice, or swirling into your favorite cocktail.

Yet, crafting superior amari isn't our only pursuit. With our Pretty Penny Program, Fast Penny pays forward 3% of all bottle sales to nonprofits who empower women, female-identifying, and non-binary business leaders.

Fast Penny is an investment opportunity with a purpose. Together, let’s drink better while doing good.

Today's Liquor Production Environment Needs More Progress Towards Sustainability and Gender Parity

Nearly 75% of consumers today demand the businesses they shop from to be socially responsible (source). Customers are keenly aware of what they put in their bodies when they dine, meaning the quality of ingredients and methods with which they are sourced is of growing importance. The systems associated with spirits date back to the repeal of prohibition, and now is the time to bring the industry along towards a more sustainable future.

Fast Penny Spirits is also committed to closing the gender gap in liquor production. Creative industries like ours deserve diverse perspectives, which is why Fast Penny Spirits is dedicated to making great liquor while supporting women, female-identifying, and non-binary business leaders.

A West Coast Take on an Italian Classic

Inspired by Italian tradition, Fast Penny’s amari balances rich and herbaceous tones for a breathtakingly bold experience. A base of upcycled grape spirit and over 45 organic and wild-crafted botanicals harmonize to a rich, beautifully complex spirit. This mingling of flavors stem from ingredients which are sustainably sourced both from local sellers in the Pacific Northwest and a small list of trusted vendors.

We produce our liqueur with West Coast wine spirit before adding cocoa nibs, Rainier cherries, Yakima hops, locally foraged truffles, and a bevy of botanicals. Our amari are then aged in large wooden casks called “foeders” in homage to the Italian style. 

From shipping in eco-friendly packaging, to reducing overall waste, sustainability is top of mind in everything we do - even down to our recipes. Amaricano begins with an upcycled grape spirit to lower water waste and our carbon footprint without sacrificing quality.

Our flagship Amaricano has notes of truffle, vanilla bean, and Mexican chocolate with a savory finish. Our aperitivo, Amaricano Bianco, has a complex palate of candied lemon, saffron, apricot, and chamomile before ending with a satisfying tart green finish.

Fast Penny generates revenue through bottle sales in the eight states where sales teams exist, online eCommerce, and direct-to-customer sales. Fast Penny Spirits also holds private tours & events with local partners, where we sell in-person through the Bottle Shop and Tasting Deck.

Spirits for the Conscious Consumer

The craft spirit market is estimated to grow to a market size of $36 billion by 2025 (source) and Fast Penny Spirits believes we can carve out our spot amongst the industry with our expertly crafted amari and our conscientious business approach. Our typical customers have a higher-than-average spending power and look to support companies whose values they align with, so we continually seek to deliver unique, premium products without losing focus on our mission.

Every step of our production process incorporates sustainable practices. We use recycled glass bottles and reclaimed corks, support local farms, use eco-friendly packaging, and only source enough ingredients for our batches. Taking all of these thoughtful steps isn’t easy, however, we have maintained corporate responsibility since the beginning of our company and plan to carry on that commitment.

Our focus on sustainability extends to the community through our Pretty Penny give-back program. As part of our commitment to impacting the greater good, Fast Penny pays forward 3% of all bottle sales to nonprofits to empower women-identifying business leaders, communities, and the industry.

This commitment to our values has earned us an official certification as a B-Corporation™, a community we’re proud to be a part of during a time where many consumers feel businesses struggle to do enough (source). Today's currency is authenticity, transparency, and vocal support on meaningful topics (source), all of which we feel sits at the core of the Fast Penny Spirits brand.

Strong Sales, Award-Winning Amaro

Despite launching during the pandemic and experiencing its lingering effects, we believe Fast Penny Spirits has proven itself a hit. In 2021, our first full year of business, we delivered over $350,000 in sales and have grown the distribution of our spirits to eight states, with direct shipping to 30 states. 

To develop a deeper sense of community among our drinkers, we created the Veloce Society. This premium club elevates at-home cocktailing, entertaining, and gifting with fun recipes, interesting collaborations, and other fantastic perks for members.

On the social side of our business, Fast Penny Spirits has secured partnerships with leading women’s organizations such as Women Who Whiskey, Women’s Cocktail Club, Female Founders Club, Wonder Women Dinners, WMarketplace, Lady Sweat, Vital Voices, and more.  

As if those accomplishments weren’t enough, our Amaricano won Double Gold at the 2022 Women's Wine & Spirits Awards, Gold at the 2022 Denver International Spirits competition and 2021 San Francisco World Spirits Awards, and placing in the Top 100 Spirits of 2021 by Wine Enthusiast.
