Local Distillery is Anything but Still this Holiday Season

PALM COAST, Fla. - Dec. 20, 2015 - PRLog -- Flagler Spirits is pleased to announce that they have broken several records including drum, bottle, and individual records with their production in 2015. With 1/3 of all distilled spirits sold during this time of year, things are heating up at their Palm Coast distillery these days.

“We have become more efficient this year by doubling our bottle-filling capacity, adding auto labelers, and tripling our ability to seal,” said Flagler Spirits Vice President Jimmy Day. “This new equipment has also cut down on staffing and saves a tremendous amount of time,” he added. They are looking forward to ‘slow controlled growth’ in 2016 and are in talks with several other potential new clients for white labeling, including one in the Caribbean.

They continue to strive to buy and use local vendors whenever available and give back to the community. This is the third year in a row during the holidays that they have set up a charity raffle Christmas tree at Sharps Liquor in Palm Coast. For a $1 per chance raffle, shoppers can enter to win the entire tree, and all the Flagler Spirits liquor bottles hanging on it. The money goes to a local charity, and this year the charity of choice was Christmas Come True, a nonprofit that gives Flagler County parents the opportunity to give their children a Christmas experience by providing complete dinners, new clothing, toys, gifts, special needs, and a filled Christmas stocking.

They are shaking (not stirred as James Bond would say) things up in 2016 with a new white label customer that will market their liquor in the Northeast Florida area. They will also release their three-year-old whiskey. It’s been sitting patiently, drawing color and flavor from the wood barrels for three long years.

Flagler Spirits is a manufacturer of liquor and cannot sell directly to the public. They have a 2,000 square foot warehouse in Palm Coast on Hargrove Lane. They sell through a distributor to local liquor stores such as Sharpe’s Liquor in Volusia and Flagler County. Flagler Spirits offers Flagler Spirits Rum and Vodka, Blended Whiskey, Flagler Lightning Moonshine, and Live Oak Reserve. And their “Just this side of legal” Moonshine adds a great spike to iced tea and even barbeque sauce. Flagler Spirits Rum (nicknamed Pirate-Pete) and their Lightning Moonshine both earned a Florida Best Spirits Award from Florida Travel & Life Magazine in 2013. They pride themselves on using local vendors whenever possible, including the design and printing of the labels on their bottles.
