THE PITCH

At Mulholland Distilling, we’ve created craft spirits that reflect and celebrate the diversity and vibrancy of our times. Working with master distillers, blenders, and top bartenders - we inspire creativity and conversation through our award-winning 100-proof American Whiskey, our 96-proof New World Gin and 86-proof gluten-free Corn Vodka. Today, our spirits can be found in bars and restaurants across 9 states and can be purchased directly from our website for shipment to 27 states.

Inspire Your Creative Spirit

LA is a city of possibilities - where creative spirits gather to push boundaries and fulfill their dreams. Mulholland Distilling was born to celebrate that. As we’ve grown, it’s still in our DNA to invite others to connect and collaborate through the power of our spirits.

Founded by Matthew Alper - an accomplished photographer & Walton Goggins - actor and storyteller – the two joined in a partnership inspired by their friendship, love of spirits, and shared LA experiences.

Those experiences inspire Mulholland to seek out and collaborate with master distillers and source what we believe are the finest ingredients available. We then guide the production process from grain to spirit and finally…to our glass. It’s that spirit of commitment to quality and value that we’re proud to share every chance we get.

Our Creative Spirit

We commit to value and quality over hype and greed

Friendship, connection, and the spirits shared between us are our founding pillars. We believe that’s a rarity in the spirits business.

Through these values, we strive to be the counterweight to the “Celebrity Brand” - instead focusing on hard work, good conversation, friendship - and most of all, accessibility. By making our high-quality, award-winning spirits accessible - we live our Spirit of LA, bringing together a diverse, vibrant community that loves our spirits as much as we do.

We've sought out and teamed up with some of the most creative minds in distilling to help us create our Unanimous Double-Gold award-winning New World Gin, our Silver Medal Gluten-free Vodka and our Silver Medal 100-proof American Whiskey.

We source our spirits, bottles, labels, and associated materials in the USA. We sell our finished spirits to our distributor partner with our net profit hovering in the 26-27% range. We also employ Mulholland “True Believers” - Market Specialists and Brand Ambassadors - as our “feet on the street” spreading the word of Mulholland’s spirits to bars, restaurants, and stores in every market we’re in.

The Market & Our Traction

Pushing the creative limits of craft spirits - we’re entering a $76 Billion market

The craft spirits sector will see an increase in value by $37 billion between 2020-2025, and this growth momentum is accelerating at a CAGR of 22.56% (source).

Not to mention, vodka alone generated $20.22 billion US dollars in 2022, with an expected CAGR of 10.05% from 2022-2025 (source), while gin generated $2.57 billion US dollars in 2022, with an expected CAGR of 9.30% (source). Similarly, American whiskey revenue is over $17 billion in 2022 and is expected to grow by over 10% through 2025 (source).

Gen X and Millennial consumer groups seem to be the main driver of this trend - with some celebrity brands leading the charge (source).

When it comes to our competition, we believe that they’re mostly big brands with deep pockets. We can’t overtake them and honestly - we don’t want to! Our mission is to bring the best of ourselves and our spirits to our friends at a price we’re not ashamed to offer - and we believe that it’s these values that set us apart from the corporate behemoths!

And it’s working! We’ve bootstrapped our way from being a small craft player in LA to being partnered with Southern Glazer’s Wine and Spirits, the largest distributor in the US.

We’ve come a long way from selling out of the trunk of our car to over 800 accounts nationwide –a more than 30% account acquisition increase in just the past year. Now, you can find us in some of what we feel are the top bars, liquor stores, and markets in the country. We’ve worked hard and built our business from the ground up. And we intend to keep on growing! In the last 12 months alone, we’ve grown our YOY sales by over 100%!!

We’ve also expanded into on-premise (bars & restaurants) and off-premise accounts (retail stores) in: California, Texas, Arizona, Washington State, Nevada, Arizona, Illinois, Georgia, Wisconsin, and Massachusetts.

Giving our true believers the opportunity to share in the spirit of Mulholland
